Glad to hear your new mower does a good job, Justin...

Hope it serves you well for many years. I find mine starts first time or doesn't depending on the shape of the spark plug, cleanliness of the air filter and most of all... the freshness of the gas. Last night it kicked right in... freshly bought gas in the tank.

Before I knew that gasoline did not age well, I foolishly bought a 5-gallon container. Also did not realize how heavy 5 gallons is. <g> I do not fill it all the way any more. Live and learn.

Front lawn looks one h.e.l.l of a lot better than it did this weekend. Not my best mow job but the hill was still very difficult to walk on. Tonight... the back yard... then I am going to play hacksaw curtain rod murderess. It is a double traverse rod and there doesn't seem to be an easy way to pull them apart so I can "hide" them in a big plastic garbage bag. Part of this operation is killing me. I feel guilty throwing out perfectly good "equipment" but in my wildest dreams I cannot believe I would ever want to use them again. I don't have a lot of storage space so out they go. I will save all the screws though... you never know when you might need one.

Didn't enjoy being tall when I was a kid... It was not chic as it seems to be these days. Now I appreciate it... makes it very easy to live alone... I can reach things. Has come in handy while painting the garage... agh the garage... I still have to do the back... after I patch the (house) roof. Hope I can out there this weekend... the duct tape covering the nail holes is peeling off... looks awful and it is starting to leak again. Got to get to it before the soaking rains come again if ever.

Ah the Regal... the sporty version of the LeSabre. I believe they have the same size wheel base. Yours is a two-door right? I'm into Sedans... just in case I have to haul the old folks around. Like them to be able to get in and out easily. First thing I did when looked at the car was get in the back seat. If it was comfortable for me, it should be comfortable for most. I've have 6'3" plus guys (coworkers) back there and they claimed it had sufficient room for them.

The Park Avenue is the current "big" Buick. I'm not fond of the body. Would love to get my hands on one of the last Roadmasters... <ggg>

They don't build 'em like they used to.
