Re: MTD Yardman Transaxle Rebuild
Good morning folks.
ahh the rain has stopped and it is more fall like outside for a change, nice snap in the air. Good day for a long morning walk into town, good thing that is only 2 miles.

Stats for the day:
It does indeed look like we will exceed 2,000 posts in the very near future.
Our views to date: 102,772 which is an increase of 638 since yesterday. That gives us a 15 day running average of 534 which indicates that if that trend continues we could top 113,452 views by 10/31.
On the other hand, if we use the 345 day running total, (298) then that drops the estimate down to 108,732.
Only time will tell..

Re: MTD Yardman Transaxle Rebuild
No other house on the street had a sidewalk, LOL......besides we played in the street with our bikes and go carts
my father was a mason, we had the only sidewalk in front of the house that also circled around the house to the garage. Which is also pretty cool, Dad built this huge garage onto the back of the house and created a deck above it to make the kitchen door the preferred entry point for just about everyone, I was little back then, but I know it was large, both my Dad and my Mother could park their cars in it back to back, had to leave room on the side for Dad's tractor. Dad have a 65 Rambler Classic Wagon and Mom had a 61 Lincoln .

Re: MTD Yardman Transaxle Rebuild
SOO - My neighbor has been complaining that my dog has been barking non-stop. I hate the electric zapping bark collars so I purchased a humane citronella collar, that way when the dog barks, it shoots out a blast of citronella under their nose and they don't like it. This morning I was getting the collar ready and filled it with the citronella...And that's where my morning should have ended. But no, it's me, and I began to become curious as to how said collars work.
Now I'm standing in my backyard "barking" at my dog's collar. Nothing happens. I make sure it's turned on, check the fill level, and go through the "getting started" check list one more time. Again, I bark. Nothing happens. Now I'm not quite sure, why I had this next thought, but I did; I put on the collar. I seriously extended the band and fit the growl box against my throat and barked. Apparently, the collar only works if it feels vibrations, because I immediately received a blast of citronella to the face.
I began coughing, which only caused the collar to continue to squirt bug spray over and over into my nasal cavity.I'm now on my hands and knees in my back yard, trying to breathe, and to make matters worse, the dog is now barking. So between coughing and yelling at the dog to shut up, I've emptied over a dozen blasts of citronella to my face. During all of this ruckus, I'm trying to undo the clasp of the collar, which has somehow managed to weld shut during this whole fiasco.
I finally get the collar off and threw, yes I threw that crazy (inhumane) thing across the yard, and lay in the grass sucking in the cool morning air. In the middle of thinking this probably the dumbest thing I've done in a while, I hear laughter. MY NEIGHBOR SAW THE WHOLE THING! She was laughing so hard she couldn't breathe. Between gasps, she tells me,"I was gonna come help, but every time I started to climb over the fence, you'd set it off again and then I would started laughing and couldn't make it" So now, not only are my eyes red, but my face and ears are too. After checking to make sure I was ok,we parted ways and I went in to shower so I wouldn't be smelling like ode de' Tiki Torch.
So lesson learned: next time (yes, there will always be a next time with me) make sure that 1. Don't fill the collar before trying to set it off and 2. Remember your neighbor is not a good source of help in a comedy crisis situation. On the plus side, I won't have a mosquito problem for a few days!.....and now that even though this does sound like something I'd do I hate to break the news that it's a copied story that gave me a good chuckle so feel free to do the same

Re: MTD Yardman Transaxle Rebuild
That's seriously funny.............
Why didn't you just rotate the collar around your neck so that the spray would hit the back of your head??
Wouldn't that have put the buckle/clasp in the front where you could get at it more easily??
Just thinking out loud............
