So.....what did you shoot today?

[bReTt]

Seems like everytime I get a little money in the kitty something happens.

I feel the same way sometimes Bill.  It sure is nice to have it when it’s needed though, even if it’s not spent on “fun stuff”.

I reckon we gotta go through the bad to appreciate the good.

Yup it took some very strict budgeting and dipping into the kitty before I was able to buy my urban. I try to save every week what I used to pay on my snapon tools bill...

We generally get what we want when we want it. I really didn't want a mower belt and blades though.
Reckon I'll shoot air guns with anger tomorrow.

With the fiery fury of a man who had to spend mad money on needed life stuffs I assume lol.

Bill..I know that you have a bad shoulder so.......If the mower dealer charges you more than an hour or so of labor... .Ask questions.
Those belts on a Z-mower are a snap to put in and the blades ain't much either.   I can do both on mine in 45 minutes or less and I am an old man.


Best Wishes - Tom

Thanks Tom... This is a very small town. I know Keith who owns the dealership. I actually bought the mower new from him. He does me right. He'll probably only charge me for parts. They work on my vehicles when they need it as well.
Our property is ruff and hard on mowers.

It's all those dang snakes!

[Back_Roads]

 Dry then dead snakes out and tie em in a knot to make replacement belts

[avator]

LOL.... we have Magnolia trees and a variety of nut trees. Those are the "dirtiest" trees on Earth. It's like mowing rocks. I also got tangled in a garden hose once that i didn't see in the neaighbor's tall grass. I'm sure that didn't do it any good.
Anyhow, I need to get off my lazy duff and get that thing down to Keith this morning so I can post an airgun related reply to this thread..... sorry about the left turn.

I welcome turns of any directions, on any of my threads. 

Now, do you mow snakes on the lowest setting?

[UlteriorModem]

While were off the rails, I have a story relatable!

One time I went to mow the grass with my self propelled' walk behind lawn mower. The mower started right up and ran fine. I pulled the lever that engages the belt drive and the mower went about a foot and just bound up. I figured either the belt had come loose, broke, or skipped up the drive shim.

I removed the plastic cover over the belt drive and what did I find? I found a common garden snake had made a 'nest' in there and managed to get all wrapped up in the belt drive assembly! Poor thing was mashed and mangled but not dead!

I loosened up the belt, untangled the snake, and threw the snake over the fence. Pretty sure he did not survive but that was quite a shock!

Nope, I mow snakes with Willie G. Stubbs on high setting.

... and while we're off the topic... Up in Ohio I once went out to mow. I jumped on the lawn tractor and fired it up. I engaged the blade and heard a very strange sound, I looked next to me to find the severed head of a baby rabbit stuck to the wooden fence. That was interesting.
... oh well, at least it's not the "So, Whatcha eatin'" thread.

It probably would have ended up in that thread if it happened to me. Dressed it up, seasoned, wrapped in tin foil, secure to the mowers engine, finish mowing the lawn.........lunch!

I finally got around to cleaning the bore of my refurb'd Winchester 1250WS .177UM. Y'all, that had to be the dirtiest new rifle barrel yet! It took some two dozen round patches (I buy'em by the 1000 at Brownell's) to get it mostly clean. Lots of fine, dirty rust in the rifling. Particularly the one that spins onto the bottom in front. It has some black stuff that's been a pita to get out. The Rem-Oil I use brought out some more fine rust outta the bluing and cleaned the stock again. Boy, is the grain character nice and flowing on this one! And it's dated as be built in 2013! I also got one of those Red plastic Daisy three pellet samplers with it, all paperwork, a one year warranty...all for a great price of $89.99 and free shipping! Here's a couple pics...
  With the Daisy 4x32 scope it came with, contrary to what it says it comes with;

  Then with the Centerpoint 3-9x32 I got from my buddy Ken;

  And the 3 pellet sampler; I tried one of the hollow points;

  The reviews were right about this one; It's rather loud. Of course, I was inside. So that makes a difference.
  And the patches;

  And I went back and used the brush a second time. Couldn't get the rifling completely clean?

You missed a couple steps there Dinh.
1) Scrape the bunny burger from the blades and deck.
2) Pick the fur and grass out of said ground meat.
