Father's Day

With 4 children this is always a special day. Memories of the homemade cards and breakfast in bed mixed with the present day Stanley Cup Champions Bruins hat and shirt, Titleist golf balls, dinner at my favorite pub and then the framed picture of two young daughters fishing with my Dad...

I make a terrible customer....it was Thanksgiving day afternoon and the phone is out, internet too. A couple minutes in the basement and the cable is caput. House full of company and there's no football, the phone is taking messages and the only link to the outside world is a weak wireless signal...

I like the photo of the paper plate with the note on it. How old is that? Takes me back to when my kids were teenagers, there were many notes left on paper paper plates and anything else that was handy. We finally put a note board on the wall by the phone for the convenience of everyone.

I noted two years ago in this forum that another round of store closings was inevitable, but Die-Hard (get it?) Sears fans dismissed my observation. I specifically noted that the Sears in Anitoch, TN (nearest my house) was sure to be closed. Sears issued a list today which showed the first 80 stores that will be closed in the their next round of liquidations. On the store closing list is the Sears store in what's left of the Antioch mall in Nashville, TN. The store is one of the most dilapidated, sorry excuses for a department store you'll ever see. The air-conditioning doesn't even work in the summer, but the manager thought he could save money by turning the temp up to 85 degrees to save some cost. In the process, no one wanted to sweat while they shopped, so people stayed away in droves. Sears deserves what has happened to it. Many of the associates are in "De-Nile," which is not just a river in Egypt. They've had their hours cut back to 20, they see stores closing all around them, but they keep saying, "Sears is about to make a comeback!" Some people are incapable of seeing the handwriting on the wall, but we'll all have to pay for it with higher taxes when these people all end up in the unemployment line.

Your profile pic is amazing, madgolfer. That looks just about perfect. What a great place to hang out.

In response to madgolfer's comment from Apr 17, 2011:

I have actually been out five times this year as the weather has turned to somewhat nice three or four days a week now. Wow that course sounds challenging for sure. The regular golfers and those that hit from the blue must need a jet engine to get to the green. Take care!

Hi there good friend - just wanted you to know that I got back from Augusta, GA on Wednesday after watching four full days of the Master's in person, live and up front. I walked all 18 holes a couple of days following Michelson, Woods, Woodland, and McIlroy. The other days I sat at Amen Corner and right in front of the green on #17. It was a blast:)

I saw your comment on the Snowblower 88691 aftermarket headlight configuration. I'm interested in doing this mod since I have the 88691-0 I should be able to do it. But I can't find the opening on the starter where the wiring harness would connect. Do I have to disassemble the starter or take off some housing to locate the connection? If you've done the mod can you take a picture?

thanks in advance.

Love your paper plate note. It's very sweet :)

Hi sorry to bother you but while I have you ahve you ever done any tracor repair I bought one new from sears a couple of years ago and the rear end let go just before the warenty ended A serviceman did come out checked it out and ordered a new axle/rear end and at that time told me about a week till it came in and call me when it arrives Well again much to my surprise 4 days later it showed up I called and he came back about an hour later he was done and it worked fine for the remainder of the summer till about a little over a month ago same thing.I was told that this is a regular problem is it?? How can I fix it avoid it happening again and is it going to be costly to repair I had a John Deere for 14 years and never did anything to it other theen oil air and blade changes alittle more then 2 years and this machine is twice DEAD!! I thought by buying from sears I would be getting a more powerfull engine and better quality then the the deere or husquavana. Also going to crack the case to check belt and gears on the snowblower I will tell you how I make out Thank you again
