There is a lot of truth in your recent posts.
By coincidence our Reg gas here is also $136/gal
I pulled a Donnie yesterday, have now wrecked two garden tractors. A very close call.
I was backing down a slope toward a shallow pond > had a defective tranny Trying desperately to get out of reverse gear, I managed to pull the shifter right out of the tranny and fell off it..
Forget all that bullshit about having your whole life flash thru your mind in your last moments
What I remember would have been a tractor upside down with spinning wheels coming down on top of me as
lay on my back in a foot of filthy water. The hood pinned my right leg to the bottom. had to yell for help while trying to scrape mud off bottom so I could get my leg out. After 15 minutes somebody arrived to move tractor enough to I could escape. ( wives can be useful)
If I was younger I may have been converted right there. Instead I will just say how much I have enjoyed meeting everyone on the threads. And keep enough back from the market to save a nest egg for use in better days
