I love to mow, and even though we don't have quite so much rock, we still beat our mower up keeping our back forty mowed.

My old one was 3 years old and ran as good as when it was new, and I used it alot. I had to replace the ball that is on the end once, but that was about it. The lines last forever too, and will cut thru really thick stuff. I'm heading out to give it a try now:)

KInd of. I'm a toe dipper. I'm opening in phases. I plan to start 2x a week, evening classes for nurse aides in July. Once I get that running good I'll add a medication class. Next year I'll start day classes. I only want to teach 2-3 days a week. I'm also waiting on Josh
(my son)to graduate.. He wants to work for me. Don't know if I can afford him or not though:')

LOL! I got something like that too. It's a spring-loaded little dealie called an automatic center punch and it looks like this...

That will work, but I believe in redundancy. I have on of these on a ring on my seatbelt buckle:

The cylindrical part is an automatic glass punch. Placing the black end on the left on the window, and press down with 12 pounds of force. That cocks and fires a centerpunch, breaking the glass. The black clip, which can be attached to a ring or keychain, is pulled away to expose a shielded seatbelt cutter.

And, speaking of cutting seatbelts, I carry one of these on my keychain (along with a couple of other gadgets):

You remembered:')Getting this tooth pulled is like planning to do stuff with my horses. He re-scheduled me until next Wed when I have had the full dose of antibiotics,

How's the jeep?

[CindyDawg]

Keep it in your glove box. That way you always know where it's at.

[CindyDawg]

Am I too late?:')

[CindyDawg]

What are you doing to that horse?:') I'm so glad he's doing better.

[CindyDawg]

Oh yeah, he looks real scared lol

[CindyDawg]

Okie has an "I don't care what you do" side and a "what is this. I never done this" side when it comes to fly spray so I start in the middle.

Hair told me once but I forgot. How much does it cost to send a knife? Is that still what the guys need?

[PayNoAttentionManBehindCurtain]

I don't know how much you'll be able to tell from these pictures, but the mower works good.I did more then this but the batteries in my camera ran out.

Before.

After.

If you're talking about what it costs to mail a knife overseas, it's about $8. The $15 knives we send to the Air Force in the USA cost $1.60 for postage. (And those are very good $15 dollar knives, due to our special arrangement with Camillus Cutlery.)

I'm afraid the two Byrd harps have been spoken for, but I have a consolation prize. Your choice of a very nice, but small (3" blade) CRKT pocket knife, or some snazzy wrap-around shooting glasses.

I'll make sure to stop by here with more freebies when I get them. I know I have a Swiss Army ball cap somewhere. Buy lots of stuff, get lots of promotional items.

[HairOfTheDog]

So around $23 total to send a knife to a troop overseas... Is I think what Cindy was asking :~D

[HairOfTheDog]

Oh - I can see the difference, looks a lot better! Nice mower :~D

[CindyDawg]

Yeah what the knife costs,plus postage

He's totaling my bill right now. I'm going to get the knife and holster. I don't know if I can wear it riding but I can use it for something else. I'll tack on a donation. Been meaning to anyway.
