May 14, 20206 yr Popular Post This is shots of the long side and the short side...….lots of angle cuts. Its been many moon since I tilted the blade. Lots of pieces clamped and didn't want to glue anything till things looked okay. Sometimes I forget the drawing part and do the designing with the pieces..The four corner pieces are legs that will be shifted up or down before the gluing takes place. And yes I am wondering what it will be also??

May 14, 20206 yr Author Popular Post Well I had to stop and eat lunch. That was a mistake!! Wife does a great job cooking so it wasn't her food... Its just I had my thoughts on where and what to do next in the shop.. now I'm kinda lost... Yesterday I decided to use the Kubota and picked up the 2 old riding lawn mowers and set them up along the road for who ever wants them. Both have been sitting under a tree for about 4 or 5 years but they both did run when I took them down there by the lake.. both are the same model and both have the shuttle shift and big motors.. One I aired up the tires but the other one I ran out of air in the tank and was too lazy to get more air so it sat there by the road still flat...In about 1 hour a man and his little boy stopped and asked about them. He said how much for the two mowers and I said how much you got.. He said no money and I said then they are free...I told him how long they been sitting there under that tree and he asked if I had road them both up to where they were sitting. He did say that's great they are free but after I said no I didn't crank them up and drive them up to the road. I told him with new batteries and cleaning out the gas tanks I think they will run okay and one does have a brand new starter. I bought it off of my brother in law and he told me he must have got a couple wires crossed or something for when he started the mower engine the starter kept running and he killed it and sold it to me....Well they didn't come back today and load up the mowers so after I said no they haven't been cranked for a few years he might have changed his mind... These two mowers was on my to do list by taking off the mower decks and rigging them up for the kids to play with while visiting us but we have only been living here a little over 20 years and I just haven't had time..! Now I'm getting rid of things so I won't have so much weed eating getting in and under and around all that crap.

When I worked at the BORG, a guy who was not even my customer, was on the phone yelling and swearing at me, and calling me a liar. After I hung up on him, he called back to accuse me of hanging up - yes I did, and swear at me again, I'll hang up on you again. You reach a certain age where you don't take the shi* any more. You'll get there, Gunny. Jim

May 15, 20206 yr Yep I hung up on a few cursing after I warned once , then it is bye bye. Larry wait til you add 10 to that and see how little you will put up with.
May 15, 20206 yr Popular Post Bosses brother runs another shop across town. They call for alignments. I happened to answer the phone one day(very rare). He asks who is this, Jeff, No, Donny, No. I informed him that was two strikes. He says, Oh its Junior. NOPE, strike three your out! And hung up! Took him ten minutes to quit laughing enough he could call back.

Gerald, I quit putting up with it at least 40 years ago. If I don't recognize a phone number...I don't answer those calls!
May 15, 20206 yr I've gone way past you guys. Stopped with the one finger salute and went to just slapping them. That still didn't work, was hurting my hand. Now I just shake my head and walk away...
May 15, 20206 yr Like Dragon, I guess that I must've been practicing social distancing for a long time. But, I do feel sympathy for those poor guys manning customer assistance phones.

My phone allows me to put a name with a phone number. If it doesn't show a name they don't get an answer. Same applies to business numbers. If I don't have the number in the phone it's nobody I've been in contact with, so no answer.
