    Well this blows! I ordered bearings from Florida to repair the mower. The bearings according to google were superseded and I needed what ever on Amazon. Yes the mower is in the list for compatable replacement spindle bearings. Unfortunately some one has done some editing and the bearings I got were tiny!

    Google is on my dislike list right now. So much for mowing anytime soon. This rips!

    That’s aggravating. All this technology. Nothing beats taking the old part in, and a knowledgeable real Parts Person. Few of those left anywhere. My Jeep blower motor apparently has a Mopar upgraded harness, along with an upgraded resistor. Original overheats, probably from old motor drawing too much current. Bottom line, old replacement parts available, new aftermarket parts available. Lots of choices & prices. Best deal comes with all the upgrades and a fan. $75 Almost all of the harnesses are wired backwards. Motors spin in reverse. Have to swap the terminals out. Unbelievable

    Considering what originally passed when the house was built. I’m sure I can do a better job. Hose clamp on vent was never tightened. Everytime it tained, a little bit of water dripped all the way to the sill. for 30 yrs. This is upstairs toilet & tub drain. 3” stack also serves kitchen & Laundry The tub drain was centered on a 10” floor joist, 7” cut out. Surprised the tub never landed in the kitchen. Other stack serves only downstairs toilet and sink. I want to move upstairs bath location to that stack. Found at least 3 drywall nails into the wiring. Wonder the house never burned down. Bedroom, bath, garage, all on one 14-2 15 amp breaker. Total 14 fixtures. And I’m worried about an inspector?? The Original one should be shot. One house on the street caught fire. They say it had aluminum wiring. Dirty Deeds. One thing leads to another. All new plumbing and electrical is needed. I’ll pm my questions, later. Thanks

    Ok, one last post before working outside. Watching TV. Kid on the Ellen Show, named Mike Wimmer, just graduated high school. Got his first Contract with the Military at 10 yrs old, for a object recognition program, he made for identifying his Hot Wheel Cars. Lol. So far he’s had 6 Military Contracts to date. Kids a Genius. Sure to hear a lot more about him in the future.

    I can’t deal with the sound they make with the plop, I’ll go off on someone quick.

    I was asked a question by a 16 year old that knows every fricken thing, so I don’t know why he asked me, but it was something like..,
    “Yo, pops..”
    Me interrupting, “Boy, you wanna get punched in the mouth or just slapped across the room? You’ll then see a pops..”
    Anyway...
    “What kind of music you listen too when you were my age..?”

    Me “I got some vinyl records behind the entertainment center in a boot box if you want to listen.”

    him”you mean cds?”

    “No, there’s a KISS album and a Robin Trower album that’s real good, got caravan tickets midnight on it.”


    “Ask mom to put it on the record player... but there’s a huge box of cds and cassettes in some more boxes under the bed.”
    Then the question that came up about girls.
    I told him he was much to young to worry about ruining his life right now, but to remember two things.

    1. A wife becomes your mom, before you can leave the house, she wants to know where your going, when you’ll be back, who will be there, and you might not be allowed to go without getting in an argument.
    2. Never marry below you.”

    he asked if I married below me, I told him the truth, I didn’t marry below my standards, but his mom did.
    It works out because I have learned when I just need to be quiet,
    Or just start to talk when she over talks me, and I keep acting as I have something to say to see how long she’ll talk over me.

    Was that bad advice?
