My wife and I spent the entire day cleaning out my garage . I've had these old mowers piled up in the garage for years. This morning we already had two of them loaded on the trailer for the landfill . I told her I'm going to pull them over to the road with my 4 wheeler and sell them she was claimin' noway anyone would buy them. Will thanks to craigslist I now have enough money from that sell to buy the gas for our trip to take our grand-daughter Presley to Myrtle Beach,SC next weekend . This morning a pile of junk ...This evening ca$h in my pocket  First photo is the treasure in the front yard.  He was able to pile 6 of them in his pick-up and said " I'll be back " Just goes to prove one man's junk is another man's treasure  None of them would run some of them will never run ....I'm hell on lawnmomers and still have 3 in the garage however all of them are still runnin' at this time   |

Great Deal man. I saw that you needed Gas money and no sooner you posted the guy was loading them up. Great story you shared about the Room 101 at the Sea Dip Motel Miracle. She is a little walking talking miracle. Joe has a testimony if you ask him, he will tell you about it. Here's to never going to the Knoxville Nationals Again. But fun the first time, been there and done that. Big Al  |

Joe. My wife, daughter, and I are coming down to Knoxville in a couple weeks for a college visit with my daughter. She is seriously considering attending Johnson Bible College (Kimberlin Heights, off Chapman highway) to play volleyball and study counselling. We will be in the Knoxville area 4-5 days. If I trailer the bike down, would you know a feller's place I could leave a trailer? I cannot fathom a trip to God's country while my bike is in Indianner.
