A snake is a bit unusual--we see cats and dogs for sale,a rabbit ,pigs,pot bellied pigs,hamsters,gerbils,horses,guns,hay,goats,chickens and then all the electronic stuff,computers,monitors,cell phones--I keep myself supplied with monitors and computers from estate and yard sales --also ,I have sold scooters at yard sales and bought cars--I might need to look now again for a two wheeler--anyhow,it looks like perfect weather next 2 days,and good luck with your games JR--you are lucky,to still have some kids around to play ball and stuff--most of our grandchildren have moved away--we can only watch old folk playing bingo and going to yard sales-lol--got a big community sale tomorrow in one of the swank neighborhoods tomorrow...might find some real treasure there--come join us--fflintstone

Oh yeah--John Deere mower--spouse got me one for my birthday in June--at Lowe's --and a week later Lowe's had a promotion selling the same mower and giving away a free trailer--just my luck--I am done with push mowers,but I will ride your riding mower JR--does it have a deer rack on the front or back?I keep a rack on the back of mine,just in case a deer runs in front of me and I accidentally run over it--the grass gets pretty tall here ,with all the rain lately--hey elpee,you can get a blade on these John Deere mowers to push snow --or rocks--be handy with with your rock scaping

Nope Flintstone I'm not a all plastic John Deere man. I bought this bad boy and it'll mow it down at a 8mph pace. Decks are hand fabbed not pressed out and are made of 1/4" plate metal, dang thing will outlast me I'm betting. Mow 5 acres and what used to be a all day job is now done in 5 hours tops. Got 7 years of warranty so if it has a hiccup it's not my problem.  |

Hmmm--yup,you could haul a deer on that thing easy--front or back--I don't think Lowe's handles that brand ..they got some Husquvarnas or something like that and some big off brands ,looks like your s only not the same brand--really,we can't afford real metal mowers ,only plastic--but its good plastic-lol-tough,hard as rock--automatic transmission,a real steering wheel,not a joy stick,which would confuse me--hehe--

Hey Flint they are all high nowadays. Deere is still solid as far as mechanics and if folks keep them out of the weather and treat them right they'll last a long time. Even with this mower I keep it serviced and out of the weather. We just needed something badly that would mow more faster and this thing will do it.

Actually ,Lily Mae is a great help,alerting me to any squirrel or dog in the area--when she gets real excited she barks in a high pitch soprano squeal-annoying but effective--if you want to know where every dog and squirrel is
