    I tried the same thing last year with my old bb. The only two differences being that your weights are shiny and I hung mine across the back.

    Your experience may end up differently but when the blade got full of gravel they would jump ship. I had to drive up and down my lane to find them.
    Treat me good and I'll treat you better, treat me bad and I'll treat you worse.
