here is a good example of knowing when things are too much for you. hanging over the house and the lines was enough for me to call it quits. i had contemplated dropping some limbs then towing it over. smarts got the best of me.

this old 84' kubota got me going. this little 16hp tractor was unbelievable. it had a backhoe, tiller, 4' brush hog and more. the brush hog would cut down trees bigger than my arm. it made some money.

can anyone guess how many squares this roof took including the attached garage. if give you a hint, its not what it looks. there is also a wing off the back of the house. this is the most fun anyone can have.

thats a long story. at 12 my friend and i decided to cut grass together, we each had our fathers 21" push mowers. mine had a bagger, my buddies didnt. the first and only lawn we got the first year needed to be bagged. my buddy never got a mower with a bagger. at 13 i picked up 2 more. at 14 i used the money i saved to buy a used bolens riding mower 38" i think. at 16 i bought a brand new riding mower and at 17 a 48" walkbehind, 19 my first new 48" walkbehind and i didnt buy a 61"ztr until i was 24. a few years later bought a new one. and so on. i did all of this while working many different long term jobs. stop and shop through highschool. roofing, video store late teens/early 20's. budweiser "marketing" team and police community service intern postion in college(what a mix huh?). full time police/fire/ems dispatcher for 5 years. i gave it all up in....05 i think. how is that for a story?

the day i bought my boat i called and said i though the fuel tank was bad. the cap didnt thread on correctly. the tank sits down nearly in the water. the dealer said there was nothing wrong with it and in turn the manufacture then refused to listen to me over the year that it was bad until last month another dealer finally said it was faulty and let water in.. so i know engines dont run on water. each and every time the water was removed it ran good. now that the tank is fixed it runs like garbage and they cant figure out why. i have the best luck ever! i sent them an itemized list for $7100 for all the repairs, lost wages, fuel, truck fuel, boat depreciation, etc, that it has cost me over the last year. we'll see where we end up. if i get the money it will be worth the trouble.
