Lifes little issues

[skeets]

Have you ever been mowing, you know in the zone, enjoying the sun and warm breeze, mulching up those pretty but pesky leaves? And you make your next round, and what is that laying on the ground? And you get closer and you see one of your blades laying in the sunshine, like it is some kind of nude beach. And after several naughty words, dismount, slowly cause nothing works to good any more. Then you start searching, and hope against hope that you can find all the parts. No such luck for the hero of this tail I fear, crawling around in the mulched grass and leaves, searching but to no avail.
Ahh well I did get to go for breakfast at the truck stop and spend 100.00 bucks on ORD (6.19)fuel. So its not a total waste and Murphy's has the parts, after a cup of coffee I am off. And maybe I ll get to see the new BX,,,, lmao

It can usually always be worse!

I bought a $400 metal detector to find a $50 wrench ... But since then I've found a bunch of other things, just because I have it!

About 3 years ago I was dragging the chain harrow all around the 1 acre yard with the SXS to knock down mole runs. Got done and noticed the hitch pin & 5/8 draw bar pin gone. How the draw bar stayed in the receiver is beyond me. Guess the downward pull of harrow provided just enough friction to keep it in place.

I did find the hitch pin, but not the 5/8 draw pin.....not yet anyway. I think about it every time I mow.
