The Beast is no longer

This afternoon a young man who has a side gig collecting old machines and either rebuilding them or scraping them, took The Beast. I asked him if he intended to rebuild it because I have the owners manuals for the machine and its engine. He said he was planning on giving the engine to a friend who had a log splitter with a destroyed engine and scrap the rest of the machine for its steel value.

So now I once again have plenty of room in my garage and no worries about what to do with the old machine.

As he was leaving he told me that if I had anything else in the future to call him. I told him I had an ancient push mower that I probably would be replacing in the near future and he said, "Give me a call. Those old mowing decks are worth some good money."

If I replace my mower this spring, I'll give him a call..

Looks like The Very Stable Genius and his minions have entered the 'shut it all down' stage of US diplomacy.

Is it possible that this entire military action is just a way distract everyone from the Epstein files?

Just asking...

This evening will be a baseball and hockey kind of night.

Red Sox are up first at 6:05 when they take on Team Puerto Rico.

This is followed by the Bruins taking on the Penguins at 7:00.

Yes, I will be switching back and forth between them.
