The Goat Pen

LG are my favorites. Always thought they looked best.

Whatever you get, have them play something with lots of dark scenes so you can see if anything blends together or you can make out things.

like that Frank Miller movie based on the graphic novel. That will test any screen quality.

Sin City?

What BRM said. I like their 3d too.

I'm going in different directions now - I've already purchased the big Sony TV (although I do agree that from what I can tell LG seems to be a major player now, as Samsung was about 2 years ago), now I'm buying the cheapass tvs for the other rooms. I bought a 42" Hisense? LCD for less than $300 to watch the games in the basement.

I may have permanently given myself a limp. I bought a Honda XR600 dirt bike that is kick start.

A 600cc dirt bike that is kick start is a monster. You have to decompress the cylinder in order to start it. I didn't and about lauched myself across the driveway. I'm gonna have to get rid of that sumbitch.

I'll give you $50.00 if you deliver to Tallahassee - had a single cylinder 450cc Yamaha DT-1 Enduro back in the 70's - sumbitch would climb trees - woohooo!!!111!!!

A 600cc dirt bike? God damn, I didn't think they made those in anything over 250. Is it 2 stroke? I've got a 200cc dual sport, it's great on trails, etc, but it's not really designed for hardcore off road brutality. But then, neither am I...

no , its just a 4 stroke. Its too much bike for me. I'm just under 6 foot and I can't sit flat footed on it.

Looks like ecat driving home Saturday night in Clermont County. It happens.

Any of you MIT Engineers make it out to burning man 2012?

I would go if you were the man they were burning...

my mom has wore out her second artificial hip now in about 6 years time and she has decided that she isn't going to go thru the surgery again at her advanced age.

Where she lives now, its on a 3 acre lot that is sloped and she's been dropping hints that she wants a John Deere gator or a golf cart to get around the property on - to get mail, tend the garden, etc.

I can't swing that kind of jack - those John Deere gators, if you can even find a good used one still brings in about 3K and golf carts that aren't beat to hell and back are the same , so being the good son I am, I found a compromise and I bought her a Snapper Comet lawn mower with electric start - Forrest Gump style.

I"m going to pick it up today and give it to her at Thanksgiving.

This isn't it but this is what they look like. We had one growing up and they are indestructable.



because the motor is in the back, she can slide her legs thru the front and drive it around. I'm going to move the electric start to the steering wheel so she won't have to reach around and the gear shift is waist high so she can reach it easily.

We always had 33" Snapper Lawnmowers (two) when I was a kid. I despised those things because they were so slow.

My 52" front deck, hydrostatic mower cuts an acre in forty-five minutes. That's the way to go.

Also, never try to speed up the Snapper...When I was ten or eleven, I opened up the carburetor and put in high octane airplane fuel. It flew around for about five minutes and then the rod went through the side of the engine. I adjusted the carburetor back to normal and drained all of the high octane fuel before Dad came home. He knew what had happened but couldn't prove it. He wanted to beat my ass, but he couldn't prove what I had done.

same here - we had a 28" deck and I had to cut almost 3 acres with that son of a bitch. Took me over 3 hours. I was just thrilled I didn't have to do with a push mower. If I had known there were cheaper brands with wider mowing decks I would have raised hell.

I now have a 60" mower and I don't even own a full acre.

I have two sons and they can each push a half acre dagnabbit.

My uncle is selling one of those.

One of sardis' sons?
