Re: MTD Yardman Transaxle Rebuild
Boo,
Relax buddy, I'm back!! Had a good time visiting with my old Navy mate (we used to teach together at the Fleet Anti-Submarine-Warfare School in San Diego), back in the early 70's. Hadn't seen each other in ten years.. Geez, he's gotten old! I wonder how that happened??
However, when we returned home we had a phone message. (For all you youngsters out there - families used to have a single phone 'land-line' and a recording machine would take messages from callers if you weren't home. We still use that antiquated method of communications.) The message was from the woman who owns the condo in Rockport, Texas that we had rented for this coming winter. She told us that her condo was in pretty good shape. It is on the second floor. One door had blown open and one pane of glass in the slider on the other end of the room had shattered, but the outer pane held. Her furniture had been rearranged by the wind and the carpeting ruined by rain. However, the building (which is right on the water) was damaged, and the town of Rockport itself has been devastated. She does not feel that the town or the condo building will be able to recover by January and suggested we cancel, which we have done, with first refusal rights for the winter of 2019.
So, IF we are lucky and can locate a place to stay down in Florida where we have been going, I may be able to get over your way and pester you some this winter!
We are working on it, but as you know, this is very late to start looking.
