Funny CN. Food is the chain for the chow hound.

The chain is for the redneck powerd wheel chair. The yard was to soft for Dad to go in his chair, so out came the tractor and chain. Comes with a chain foot rest too.

One of my old farmer friends has his cattle in his yard to do the mowing. They are all quite tame and dont bother his house at all as theres plenty to eat. I am jealous every time I stop there as he hasnt used a mower in his whole life. I bet that lawn will be a pain to mow when the next person lives there with over 70 years of fertilizer on it, unless they do the same. Its a pretty uncommon way here now but used to be common.

Yep. Dad kept saying go faster. A whole 8-10 mph in the yard. Almost flipped him 3 times on tree roots.

I would have thought someone like coalnewbie would just hire a landscaper to tend the lawn and garden like all the other well heeled folks from "upstate"

No GAW, my application for moderator on this coal board was declined so I am still poor. :D Do refined gentry still shovel the chit out of the stalls in the morning? I never saw myself as refined.

I know I'm completely messed up,but in my book,the fact that You dive headlong into anything You touch,qualifies You as Refined!! Now get out there and tear Your hair out getting Your Machinery ready for the Big Cut this Season!!

You dive headlong into anything
and that is my problem and as it is coupled with limited skills it makes life hard. However, this coal board cheers me up as there are many comedians... hire landscapers.... hahahahahahha .. ouch my ribs. Oh well, roof repairs thanks to hurricane force gusts ready for coal deliveries. Here is a pic of my last efforts. You are sooo rich you have a loader ... yeah, $3500 from two brothers who went belly up and hated each other so much they would rather give me the loader than let the other bro have it. Rob is coming down to fix the hydraulics for me. It's one sick puppy.
