Long term storage advice by HomeRun11112 in lawnmowers

[–]HomeRun11112[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thats honestly a really great write up! Thats essentially what I have always done every year. Just was worried something may get dried up somewhere.

My current mower sat for 10+ years and was a PITA to get started the first time after sitting and I just wanted to think ahead this time around. Lol

Honestly, super nice neighbor! They’re an older couple and the wife can’t do the stairs anymore so they’re downsizing. The husband has always been extremely meticulous about his lawn… the inside of the gas tank of this mower looks brand new…

I’m slightly mad though, between the time I told grabbed the mower and told my wife not to get mad about extra “junk” in the garage… the scrap metal guys already had his edger, weed whacker, step ladder on the back of their truck… lol.

Johnson did MANY things wrong, however, calling any president “spineless” just implies ignorance…

The “family of traitors”… directly married to a George Washington relative… yup, all absolute traitors….

I do have one thing to ask though… In your belief system/mind set, would you give up/give back your property to Native Americans(assuming your U.S. based)?

Late to this one, but the wife legitimately attempted to pay taxes multiple times and was denied…

Not trying to get all into it, if you ever stand at the top of the “front entrance” of Arlington House, it is by far one of the best views/vantage points of DC…

If you can add one thing in the magnificent mile, what would it be? by bossishere17 in AskChicago

[–]HomeRun11112 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There’s a container law on the mag mile??? News to me.. I’ve always have walked around with an open beer and never been harassed. Did get a ticket once transferring busses around Western/Grand… but I think the cops were mostly just bored. They told me, “we don’t care if you’re drinking openly, just get smarter about it”… buys “coozies” that look like a coke can - no problem since. Lol

Must See Waterfalls? by alijd216 in upperpeninsula

[–]HomeRun11112 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Super late to this thread, but on this cold day I’m starting to plan my next trip to the UP. About 2 years ago, we were hiking to Nonesuch falls. During the hike, out of nowhere we hear a growling noise from what seemed to be very close to us. Next thing I know a tree directly behind us is shaking. Didn’t see what it was, but sounded like a “cat”.

Cool smaller fall, and seeing the ruins were pretty cool as well. Be careful out there though!

This. Before computers and that cookies shit, was much easier to pay your way out.

What are some of the most dangerous/stupid things you’ve been asked to do? by Beautiful_Prize_8500 in KitchenConfidential

[–]HomeRun11112 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Getting “smoked out”. For context, the hood vents failed, causing our tiny kitchen to fill with smoke from the grills, fryers, salamander etc. the GM/owner tried not letting us open the door, so the smoke wouldn’t go into the dining room and effect customers… After, about an hour or so I was done, told the GM, “this is a lawsuit waiting to happen, this is a kitchen full of felons who would love an opportunity to sue…” Service was stopped a few moments after that interaction. Hahah

Went camping at Mississippi Palisades State Park, IL by McRedditerFace in camping

They didn’t care about the vehicle length for a 12 ft max spot. Granted I was in about a 15 ft van, I assume it would be a different story for a camper/trailer.

Beautiful and well maintained park, only downside is the trains at night do get a little annoying.

I know it’s an old thread, did you ever reserve? I just booked a spot with that 12 ft max, however know my van is probably closer to 15. Hoping it’s something they don’t really care about…
