    I'm looking to move into the 0 turn mower group. I have a Simplicity tractor now, but I mow my place and a larger 4 - plex property right down the road. I've heard the Husky brand is top notch. Even better than many better know brands. Since you have one, what are your thoughts? Thanks in advance Blake.

    @pgprescott Z242 and up F series (Fabricated Deck) are built very well.   Greasable bearings, spindles, etc, Smooth transmissions. Maintenance is a breeze. I just changed out the organic/break-in oil and oil filter and it took maybe 15 minutes. Also the belt, pulleys, spindles etc are very accessible. I shopped for awhile. We have about 1.25-1.5 acreage and it is everything but, flat or level ground....lots of rolling terrain and we have many trees and landscaped throughout so there are obstacles a plenty. DO NOT BUY FROM THE BIG BOX STORES was my lesson in all of this. The products they sell are sub-par. I also looked at John Deere at the dealer and wasn't impressed when comparing features and similar price point. JD is using a lot of plastic on the mechanical end which is just sad ....they were not even a close second when comparing.

    @theyolksonyou -  SRF in that cooler??  Looks like one of their shippers.

    @theyolksonyou -  He has no idea what he is in for.  Hell of a present-I have never moved beyond the black grade but no blow-back from SWMBO for those buys.  At least they use the same shipper box  ;)
    Enjoy the banquet as I know you will.

    Giving pork burnt ends another run-this time with boneless country ribs (much better to work with than a bone-in butt) and since I am there a rack of beef back ribs as a chaser.  

    Gonna be a meat coma evening.

    Had a beer with @Mickey and his lovely family yesterday at the Barrow Brewery in Salado. 
    That's awesome fellows. Mickey is one of the ones that I have always respected and admired. I hope to get the honor of meeting him someday. 
    On that note, @Mickey PM your address so I can send you some more appropriate shirts. Yeti is dead my friend. RTIC has taken over =)

    Other posts have inspired me to try meatloaf for the first time. Plan is to knock out another first, I'll keep the egg running and bake some chocolate chips cookies after for dessert.

    Egging some country style ribs and getting ****-faced drunk watching the Broncos play the Colts.

  • the thought of me being a heavy man in a kilt with bagpipes used to be enough to tip off 99% of the forum members.

    nice to be able to hide among the weeds!
    Well, no offence intended but you have put on a few Kg. And I have seen you in a skirt before.

    They still make great products, but not all their offerings are created equal. There are some that are obviously compromised to meet lower price points and what not. I had heard exactly what Blake said about the 0 turn units. They just aren't as refined as some of the competitors.

    Getting the party started

    Okay, whatcha makin?   Really big pizza oven?  
    @Botch.  Ha ha ha. No. Covering the shed in stone.  Old shed is in great condition so it is getting a well needed facelift. Worked on on it all weekend. Poor progress. I give myself a D-   2 batches of bad mortar, a delay to pick something up and just never got in a "groove". 

    Nursing my wounds. Guzzled a gin and tonic, now drinking this:m, and a bottle of wine is breathing and will go with the porkchops. 



    Just curious...  Anyone in eggnation a mason?
