I only have a small 1 room apartment and thats barely enough for me alone. And second: I whould be probably a horrible dog owner because i'm INCREDIBLE weak to cuteness and puppy eyes and whould forgive anything with a "Aww, youre just so cute i cant be mad at you..." even when the dog just turned my whole living room upside down and thats not good because you need a certain strength to raise a dog just like a child and teach him/her good and bad. And thats something i just cant even if i try. So i better dont have a dog, its just the best for the dog. There are just too many dogs at the shelters where the previous owners overestimated their skills or weren't able to manage/train the dog like they should. And i surely dont want to "produce" another homeless dog.

    I got a free 1972 Snapper rider mower given to me once. Had good spark, no compression, took head cover off, valve seat had became loose, fell out, just floating around in there. Went got a new valve seat at the now defunct small engine parts store. Cleaned area for install, used Loctite and peened the edges of valve seat and block casting, back together and ran like a champ.

    I got a pop up asking me what I thought about one of your videos. What do they mean? Video quality, sound, content, presentation? I watch because I enjoy coming along when you work. I never had a formal apprenticeship for any of the things I worked at. I worked with people who knew what they were doing, watched, tried not to ask stupid questions while I learned the basics and the flow of it. So watching is how I've always learned. and while I don't plan on doing excavation or heavy equipment mechanics, I do enjoy absorbing processes. You do a good job "bringing us with you when you go do the next thing".

    "A free mouse!" That made it worth the effort right there. It was quite an adventure from the get go especially for the mouse! That trailer seemed a little "inconsistent" for the load. But it worked. I liked how graciously you were able to unload the mower. "That's not going anywhere."

Took it home, put on a new battery, front tire, and did an oil change. Put some gas in it and it fired right up. Ran perfect. Used it one summer, then sold it for $400!
