Americans sold it to me, does that count? :mrgreen:

OK my last four lawn mowers had B&S motors, but they didn't last, so I bought the honda. It has the quad blade too (well it use to) so it cuts nice.

You'll love this all my slide in's have the Nissan powerplant!

I only like to buy it once, even if it costs more.

I hate buying cheap, it always costs more in down time.

My 1984 John Deere Tractor has a 12.5 HP Kawasaki motor, probably has 10,000 hours, summabitch just won't die...

My uncle sells Bobcats and had a Ford/New Holland tractor he was trying to sell me, the FORD/NEW HOLLAND compacts are rebadged SHIBAURAS, he says they last forever.

I need one but am too cheap to spend the money. By the time I get a mower, bucket and drag box I'm into it for nearly the cost of the new Bobcat Compacts.

I might have to wait until next year.

I have to get a new starter put on my van. At least my mechanic got it going so I could get my jobs done today.

I did a job this past weekend and was extra careful or atleast I was trying harder than normal to make sure everything was done to perfection. This was a commercial tile job. I had two helpers on the job site. One of the guys moved a little freezer and never pluged it back up. Luckily the kitchen staff caught it the next day when they did inventory. And one of my helpers damaged a small piece of wood floor by srubbing the edge where the tile and wood meet with a buffer and blue nylon brush. While I am busiting my ass to get everything done, some things you can't prevent come back to get you. The owner's son called to come back to look at the wood floor, and after seeing it I told him I would get it fixed. I also said we originally agreed to do the job for a thousand and that is what they were going to pay me to do it in the first place, but I came back after we were halfway through and said I was only going to charge him 800. I asked him if he explained to his dad that we knocked 200 off the total. His resonse was it doesn't look good with the freezer and the floor. I guess I am paying for the floor. We even moved stuff we should never have moved. I guess that is what happens when you try to go above your means and do the best job.

The one thing I consistently leave behind.
That's one reason I don't use them. Second they don't stick well enough for me.

Today was mine to top a crappy week, rained every damn day here at all times of the day all week.

Sent my guy to get our legend up to speed at jon don. I go and do a small repair and try to go to two nice estimates. 40 miles from home, blow a tire on the AT. Drive it slowly back to town to get four new tires and an alignment. No estimates, and spent 10 times more money than I made today. Love it.
