I did not. I did however, misread "brand" as "and". I was half-way through responding with a question as to why he had a pet that could blow the balls off of his table when I re-read his post and stopped typing.
Reminds me of a twit that I went to school with. He had no idea of how ether really works. (This was in southern Ontario, just across the river from Detroit, so it never got cold enough to actually need the stuff.) He had a flat-head Ford V-8 that wouldn't fire up for him one winter, so he removed the spark plugs, sprayed an entire can of Quick Start into each cylinder, replaced the plugs, and turned the key. It blew both heads out through the hood and shattered the block.

I think you may have unwittingly solved one of the "Interstellar" problems:

3. They need a Saturn V rocket to escape Earth's gravity. But have no problem leaving in a small shuttle craft from the surface of a planet (on the other side of the wormhole) with 130 percent of Earth's gravity.

Quick Start fluid propulsion!

Wait...

Drats!

At $2.60 per can, and being that there is only one can left in stock, it's obvious why they used a Saturn V, HHO rocket.

Wow this certainly has become a hard sell, but the tractor needs to go. Here is a special that could only appeal to certain special people. If you are one of those people you can now get; the tractor, the scraper/grader, the NASA style super scooper, the 1977 model garden tiller with a free can of starting fluid and for a limited time only this wonderful brake disc from a 1999 Ford Explorer plus a matching boat anchor. Yes for some special people a boat anchor can match a brake disc.

And the price is still just $166.88

Someone let me know if I am getting too silly with this thread. I am in my second childhood and I can no longer tell when silly is too silly. <(@^@)>

Anyone that says that's too silly, just does not have a well rounded and educated life IMHO. ;):D

We are just too many miles apart :(

Well thank you RonL. Those items do come from my most eclectic yard art collection. Now if I could only convince my wife that everything has value to someone somewhere.

I'm getting very close to taking you up on that offer, if you'll pay the shipping. (In my experience, that will be about $14,000 for your lot.)

There is an online company called uship that puts people in touch with shippers. It appears to be independent truckers bidding for loads online. It reminds me of that Shipping Wars TV show. I was actually looking online at small tractors in other states and it is possible to ship one but not for under a thousand bucks or so.

I could always get a new John Deere sub compact fully loaded with all the bells and whistles for about $23,000. <(@^@)> It looks like I need to list my next faux auction item.

Did you ever wish that you owned your own caboose? Just think, you could imagine that you have been working on the railroad all the livelong day. You could just sit and look at it and drink a cold beer. Rural folks, even city folks could keep a couple of chickens in it. There are a lot of uses for this caboose. Bear in mind that it has been out in the hot Arizona sun and it has shrunk down a bit from full size. It is not exactly guaranteed by Good Housekeeping, but at a starting bid of only $300 how could you go wrong?

I could get some advise from Lisab about hitch-hiking to your place, then ride the mower pulling the caboose back to Texas, (I would have to watch that Tom Hanks movie again to refresh my mind) what kinda fuel mileage does it get ?
Guess they only do that in the movies, what a trip :D

I think having to drive the little rig on the interstate highways would be the big problem. I remember driving the old route 66 all the way back to the Mississippi river when the road was still intact. We miss so much of the country now and don't even realize it.

 

[edward]

And now a little railroad entertainment to get bidders in the mood, or most likely not.

It's taken a while to get the scale into my brain, but I'm going to make a wild guess and ask if the coil springs under the caboose came from a Chevy 283 or 327 V8 ? :)

 

[RonL]

Don't miss out on the opportunity to get the tractor, the scraper/grader, and the NASA style super scooper. BUT WAIT ! act now and I will ad this magnificent 1977 Montgomery Wards garden tiller in like new condition. It had a new engine only 15 years ago and it comes complete with a free, and at no cost to you, can of starting fluid because that sucker is really hard to get started. final price just $166.88.

If you need a twin for the tiller I have it oo) not in working condition, but the original engine (anything can be reconditioned right ?).
I guess we are both at the getting rid of STUFF part of our lives :D

Sure you can rebuild the old tiller engines. I have one that I am working on that is rare. It is just like the one I have except it is eight horse power and has four speeds. Now If I can just get it all back together.

I had been getting rid of a lot of "stuff" , but about a year ago I restarted a project that I had given up on about five years ago.

I kept that old tiller around because the newer ones are junk. Those old worn tines can still kick out a rock the size of a softball. The instructions with the newer garden tillers recommend avoiding soil that may have rocks.

 

[edward]

Upgraded; for a limited time only, and chance of a lifetime deal on the red caboose. Buy now and I will include a hummingbird feeder with one humming bird if I can catch it.

I have held onto mine because of the worm drive, I think that is why it throws the big rocks out so well, gives the wrists a hard workout:D

 

[Danger]

with one humming bird if I can catch it.

I don't recommend the attempt. Those little buggers are nasty. They're incredibly fast, fly backward and sideways as well as forward, and have terrible tempers. They use their beaks like swords. Males regularly fight, often to the death, over feeding or mating rights.



In my backyard at night, when I lived back east, the only way that I could tell for sure if the thing flying around was a hummingbird or a Junebug was that Junebugs don't dive-bomb people. (The birds go for your eyes.)

 

[edward]

OK then so the humming bird idea was a bummer. I just went to the back office and talked to the sales manger. He said if anyone wants to buy the caboose tonight I can include this vary rare solar lighted rain gauge.

 

[edward]

I can now, and for a short time only, add this atypical tricycle to the deal. Don't be left out and don't settle for cheap fake imitations. I have documentation that Too Tall Jones rode this tricycle until his sophomore year in high school. A caboose in your backyard will increase the value of your property. Some landlords offer free rent to people who own a caboose.
The price including state and federal tax is now just $29.99

It doesn't matter if you never heard of Too Tall Jones it is still the deal of a lifetime. All sales final, product not available in Idaho and North Dakota.

I hate to disillusion you, but that isn't really anything new. All of my stuff is solar lighted (in daytime).

I got pulled in by that this morning, then I realized it was a cad concept, finding someone with 25 million, no problem.
The finished project will most likely be 40 to 50 million, but again, no problem :D

 

[Danger]

Damn! I left my $25,000,000 in my other pants.

[edward]

I need to sell that caboose, and as Rodney Dangerfield would say; "This is a tough crowd".

So here is the current deal approved by corporate headquarters in Hoboken, New Jersey.

You get the caboose, the hummingbird feeder (minus the hummingbird because they are dangerous), the solar lighted rain gauge, and now due to an oversupply at the warehouse; a second caboose plus two carpet samples and a ball that has been chewed up by a vicious dog.

Yep the gear boxes in the newer tillers are just stamped steel. I have started wearing braces on my wrists when I run that thing by hand. If I have enough room to work I hook it up behind the tractor. That will show those expensive counter rotating tine rigs a thing or two.

I need some emoticons where is every one getting them?

Ask Evo :D, there were lots of PF birthday parties in 2008 and earlier, dancing bananas and lots of other action figures

Sorry, I have an elderly feline felion living in my basement -- she won't share her space. I'm lucky she let's me come down there to do laundry.

Oh and btw, the felion is not up for auction. Not even a faux auction!
