No new motor this year
No new motor this year
This thread is just so I can complain like a child. Had some $$$ saved up to start my motor build. Was planning to do a 96" (3.625" x 4.625"). Was getting pretty excited. Came home from work to a shattered glass patio door. I was told the lawn mower kicked a rock that hit the door just right. After a few quotes I learned how expensive those things are.
Took me a long time to save that money. Don't know weather to get angry or curl up into the fetal position and cry.

I would prefer a "wild garden" without mowed lawns; these "perfectly manicured" gardens and their owners are referred to as "Garden *****" here in Germany. 
This saves a lot of work, is very attractive to bees and other beneficial insects, and contributes to peace and quiet in the neighborhood, etc...
German "Garden *****" who mow their lawns two or three times a week and constantly saw firewood with loud machines, these people are a plague, unbearable!
Live and let live, but please not at the expense of neighbors who need peace and quiet, thank you!
With that in mind, a friendly greeting to everyone!

True story.. Group of High School seniors in the middle of the night used lighter fluid to burn a giant “Class of 89” in an American History teachers perfect manicured lawn. The unhinged teacher actually jumped to the conclusion that it was satanic Devil worshipper (prevalent in the area) and it caused so much stress he went into a facility for counseling..He did a year later return to teaching. The students were not caught and while the prank was famous at the time… it’s been regretted for a life time.

I can neither confirm nor deny any personal knowledge. Even too much Keystone light can cause one to do strange things at 3 in the morning after back road tailgate partying.
