I think what he probably means since it's been sitting, it probably needs oil change, filter, or a belt something like that, which are routine maintanence items anyway.<BR/><BR/>Betty:<BR/>You know I'm a huge tennis fan. The Davis Cup finals are going to be held here in Portland at the end of November. The tickets sold out in a 1/2 hour I couldn't try to get in on it because I was in bed with a headache, no gaurantee would have anyway since I would have been doing it at work, but now they are selling these things for $$$$$$. I can probably see better on TV anyway, alas but it just cheeses me up!!!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3432116.post-92009990964369271112007-10-22T13:09:00.000-06:002007-10-22T13:09:00.000-06:00It's in very good shape, just unused for a while.It's in very good shape, just unused for a while.Captain Chlorophyllhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16160624482609256786noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3432116.post-4649140996758746152007-10-22T07:00:00.000-06:002007-10-22T07:00:00.000-06:00Not sure what things look like for me over Thanksg...Not sure what things look like for me over Thanksgiving, but I'll let you know!<BR/><BR/>If it's not in very good shape, I may well be better off just getting a new one, but, regardless, the thought is appreciated.Bettyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06403255764384760662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3432116.post-53943760647597092382007-10-22T06:40:00.000-06:002007-10-22T06:40:00.000-06:00My mom is happy to let you have the lawnmower.

It might need some minor work, considering it has been unused for two years, and I don't think the gas was drained before it was parked.Captain Chlorophyllhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16160624482609256786noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3432116.post-47171287542062448492007-10-21T15:59:00.000-06:002007-10-21T15:59:00.000-06:00Hey, that's nice of you.
