  • Neighbors that repair stuff

    Often have people leave stuff that they don't want any more . And
    that stuff clutters up the repair mans shop space . And that's why I now
    have a Honda mini tiller and an older Ariens limb chipper . Actually the tiller was the repair guys unit , he hasn't used it for like several
    years and he wanted it gone . The chipper was thought to need new
    "knives" because nobody understood how it operated . It needs the
    carb/gas tank/governer* installed , got all the parts needed with it .
    This is great news for my garden , the tiller is the right size to
    cultivate between rows and the chipper is going to be making cedar
    branches into mulch for weed suppression .
    *Fortunately the governer is identical to the one on my rear tine
    tiller ...

    Stuff just accumulates doesn't it. I've got excess welders, torches,
    saws, generators, tools, vehicles, and STUFF.

    That being said, having two half decent MIG welders and two half decent torches has come in really handy of late. I've just taken to leaving
    one of each in the back, and the others by the welding table.

    OTOH, I have a neighbour who carries a Canadian penny and a U.S. penny
    in her pocket and rubs them together whenever she thinks of it. I
    think it may have something to do with the fact that she spent her
    pre-teen years in Malta during WW II.
