Each year in the spring the nearby townsfolk have an event officially known as spring cleanup, but my friends have been affectionately calling it Bums Christmas for just as many years.

It's like a big trade event in a way. I'll bring things into town that I no longer want. This year for instance, it was pieces of fencing and old chicken waterers, some cutoff pieces of pole barn metal etc. So it was basically gone to metal scrappers, almost as soon as i set it down.

But on the flip side, i pick up things that I see that might be fixable. This year I got a nearly new Cub Cadet push mower that somebody hit something with, but the shaft was fine. Mower is listed at 650 dollars by cub. I know i will never sell near that, but it's a 20 dollar shaft shroud that i need to order to fix and that's it.
And i also picked up a like new Thomasville leather recliner. Retail pricing on it, 1200 bucks. The only thing i can figure is somebody must have passed in it, because it works and looks new.

I bought a 21" Cub Cadet push mower from HD back about 2002. Thissun was made in 'Murica before they off-shored 'em to China. He added it to his arsenal for places with tight spots.

Anyway, it was the best damn lawn mower I ever owned. During the season it never required more than 1-2 pulls to fire it up. Even after sitting in the garage over the winter it would fire up with no more than 5 pulls. Oh, and it damn near burned zero oil.

Packed it up to bring down to GA, but I decided my ass was to old to mow nearly a 1/2 acre with a pusher.

I traded it to Mr. Jackson who now mows the place weekly using a fast 48" zero-turn beast.
