  1. I would be happy to handle it for ya! I was gonna say in the initial post, that it would do people well to not wait until the last moment to get their mowers ready for Spring. Because (usually) around the end of February, all heck breaks loose and I get flooded for business.

     

    Incidentally, I also spent much of my off-season re-organizing the shop and making a few changes to make things flow better this coming year. I'm really excited about it!!

    One push mower just needs the pull assembly replaced, one I know needs a cable, but I am not sure what else, and as I told you at the end of the season, my riding mower may have blown, but I haven't even checked. It just stalled suddenly last time I cut grass and I pushed it into the shop and left it, but I need to get something going before Spring. Don't want to wait to the last minute.

  2. One PM so far. No other takers? I figured there was several people that need junk hauled to the dump. PM me and let me know.

    Thanks

    I have about 10 tires that need to go to the recycle center. What do you charge for that?

  3. I can't afford to do the walk, but I think we'll come out for the fair.

    Get on a moto bike and ride. We are doing donations only, so any amount will do. I have found this often works better than setting a flat fee, especially in a bad economy. KSU today at Bikers Gone Wild in Dallas. I hope the threat of rain doesn't keep people away. I have gotten drowned 3 times this week, so I be used to it by now. LOL

     

    Pulling together the raffles now, feel like I'm gonna puke!!!! I hate the minutes leading up to the event.

    I have a couple of things I am bringing down. Don't know when you are doing the raffles, so I hope I am not too late. Should be there about 11:30am.

  4. Been working every day and thanking the Lord all the way, laying laminate floor in the hisse, and ready to hit the road on the bike with a good buddy for 4 days. Life is good in spite of it all. I am blessed. This I know.

  5. I was sitting here writing these mindlessly LONG essays to a pcom friend of mine, regarding our economy, and how many of us have had to change our lives so dramatically. Ex.....I used to pay someone to manicure my lawn, and the garage was for parking the cars in. (I was anal about this!!)

     

    Now, it's a shop full of mowers, my hours are almost double to make the same money I used to....and still less than that. But you know what? I am a HAPPY GUY~~~~ I have a wonderful woman by my side, and 2 terrific teen girls...(a rare commodity :lol:)

     

    Bills are getting paid, and that's enough. My house stinks like gas and oil, but we all accept it as a sacrifice you make to keep that roof over your family's head and food in their tummies~~~

     

    It's no amusement park to be broke and living from week to week (with 2 weeks worth of grace periods to play around with)...but it makes you WORK....and work harder, which in my case has proven to be beneficial to my health. And most of all, it displays the TRUE value of a what money is and why it should be EARNED, and work hard to get. It took me a long time to say this....because at the first of the layoff, and watching my career crumble at my feet, I was very bitter for a good while. I am glad I have come to realize what I have come to realize...and that is:

     

    Life is fragile

    Nothing is certain

    There are no guarantees of a great tomorrow

    Hard work STILL works in this depressed economy, even if you have to do it for yourself!!!

     

    I call all of this the "weeding of the garden"......

     

    So many people were grossly overpaid (CEO's, ENRON.....bla bla bla), and then you see how many of them are going from Wall Street to a 25K/yr job at a fancy restaurant, seating people.

     

    Capitalism is the best mode of govmt to promote PROGRESS and instill a certain "I own this myself" sorta thing. But unregulated, it is just what we saw over 100 years ago in the Wild West frontier. It starts out as the very best of all, but history shows us how it can be corrupted and has a shelf life of (according to Ben Franklin) 200 years...give or take a generation. If this country survives this, we will be so much wiser than before.

    I wish more people thought like this. We would not be here now. Or maybe times like these make the cream rise to the top. You are one of a dwindling few. The stuff America was made of (was being the key word).

     

  6. free scrap metal

    I know some one on here wanted scrap appliances

    gas dryer /gas stove /and a radiator from a dodge truck

    none of it is any good but it is free and if any one wants it come get it

    It is in the garage and i will help load it

    If no one wants it ill be making a trip to the dump

    Take it to the scrap place by Pate's uptown. They will pay you for it instead of you paying the dump to take it. Won't be much, but it beats paying.

  7. Damn, this sucks ass. Thank you all for your input, but I still don't know what I am going to do. Either way I lose a valuable friend. I absoulutely don't want anyone to hurt, but someone is going to. It may be even be me more than anyone else. :angry2:

     

     

    Dood, a "valuable" friend wouldn't put you in a situation like that. :nea:

    Doesn't sound like much of a friend to me & I don't give a rat's ass how long you have known him.

    You taint got much of a choice. If'n you care one bit about the wife whom you say is a wonderful sweet person than you better say something. She is gonna think you ain't worth a damn if she finds out that you knew & covered for him willingly or not. Just my 2 cents.
