Don, they sure put a bigger muffler on the Yamaha.

ordered new trans assembly for tiller, DR people very helpful, nice chat with tech about why they didn't offer me a better alternative to the 300 hour throwaway engine they use. Pressure lube engine would last much longer, we both agreed. He said to add more oil if operated on slope, but no more than extra 2-4 oz to avoid oil starvation. Typical splash lube engine, oil flinger spinning in air unless fairly flat.
Tech said buying whole assembly gave all new bearings and seals too, plus much easier to install. Sold.

I never use Ebay because I thought you have to have a Paypal account, yet another financial account I don't need.
Does Ebay accept Visa directly or must you go through their portal?
I've never used Ebay since my original feeling it was the Wild West.
But I bet it's gotten better and it seems Amazon is getting worse.

Yes, PayPal works best with EBAY. I use PayPal to buy and sell things not only on EBAY. When I sell something on Facebook I use it. Pay our house cleaner with it. I hate writing checks.

Good morning all,

Brisk 8 degrees this morning. A few inches of snow last night with several drifts that I'll need to tractor out.

Looking like this summer we should have plenty of water for watering the fields. More snow predicted for this week.

Good morning to all! Low of 24, going up to only 36. They are still forecasting a brief period of snow, maybe an inch. They are pretty specific too, saying by 09:00. Then a high wind warning in effect until 7 pm, 40-45 mph with gusts in our area (east of the mountains) as high as 60 mph!

Right now, perfect calm, sunny, just a few dark clouds on the western horizon....Hmmm... I don't know...

Eric, I tried putting my location in on that site. I think it's giving me YOUR sunrise /sunset times at my location....tells me that sunset will be at 00:38, sunrise at 17:10 ??? I tried a couple of times.... Neat site though....

Drew, we had a similar experience buying tree seeds from Amazon. After purchase, no information was given about the seller, just "order processed" then "shipped". After about 2 weeks, a small envelope shows up from China....thought I was buying American tree seeds....

We bought the next batch off Ebay. They came from Georgia in about 3 days, knew exacty from whom. Ebay does not require a paypal account, you can do bank debit or credit card. You can also use those forms of payment through Paypal, that way your purchase is 'protected'. I have NEVER purchased anything from Amazon, the wifey has made 3 purchases through them and all of them turned out to be nothing but trouble. I have made hundreds of purchases through Ebay and as far as I can remember, only had one issue with a seller not shipping the item....Paypal covered and refunded the entire amount in less than 2 weeks.

Today is pin cushion day again, this may be the last session of acupuncture, the knee has more pain and swelling for 2-3 days after getting stuck.... I don't think it's working....

Not much more happening ..... Everyone have a great start to the week. Stay out of any nasty weather if you can. Prayers sent.

Guys, Sara is fine. Late last night, I followed her around the yard, and found “ proof of poop”. She pooped out pistachio shells. Talk about roughage! I was glad I didn’t have to run her up to the vet, last week she ate a tube of hydrocortisone, all we found was the cap and end. X-ray, $180. Nothing showed up, so we don’t know if she passed it or hacked it up, before we found the pieces on the floor. I am thinking of renaming her to maybe Jaws! We have put more effort into puppy proofing the place.

Have a good one!

Eric, tried the link again, still gives me reversed times for my zip code, but has the location correct....tried the next town's zip code and gives me the correct times....go figure... I always thought our little town was strange....NOW I KNOW FOR SURE!!!

 

[LS Tractor Owner]

Irv, that's great news! Well for Sara anyway... Our puppy is spring loaded and is definitely wound tight!! He keeps us busy nonstop....at this point I can't wait for him to get through this 'stage'. Wouldn't give it up for anything!!:thumbsup:

Reminds me of a Giant Schnauzer puppy we had about 14 years ago. My granddaughter was sitting in her highchair, the puppy (about 6 months) reached up and pulled her sock right off her foot. The wifey immediately tried to get it back, but down the hatch it went.... Of course I was then on " poop patrol" for a while... As long as the poo kept coming out at the appropriate time, all was good. Never saw the sock....until around 6 months later.... Saw something white over in the corner of the yard....there it was. I can't remember the outcome thereafter:thumbsup:

Well, it's been almost a half hour since my first post. There was absolutely no wind at that time....now the trees are trying to touch the ground, stuff is flying by, the wind is howling!! Someone turn off the fan and close the window!!

It was 3° again this morning. Looks like we got about 5-6 inches of snow overnight and it's nice and sunny this morning. Today will be in the mid 20's with the wind 20-30 mph and mostly sunny.

I need to go out and do the driveway before the wind picks up. That's about the only thing planned for today.

I see Cat Fever posted this morning, can I blame him for the snow?
Lynn, I hope you are enjoying your new home.

Hope everyone has a great day.
CWB.
