Default Summer Chores

If you guys are like me, I let all my stuff wait until summer to fix anything. So, last week I took the 2 windows I shot out to get new gas and glass, put a new heat element in the wife's dryer, opened the pool and all that goes with that and re-built my deck flooring. Oh, and also re-built the pump on my pressure washer after I realized it was leaking when I was washing the driveway, porch and all the side walks. So far, so good. Sorry about the shitty picture, I couldn't get the exposure right?

How did you manage to shoot your windows out?

Did that once with a wayward hammer, took out one of my garage windows... Oops. I bought a new window to go in there but the piece of plywood that has substituted at the time has held up well so far. Ha ha .

My brother and I had a knack for taking out windows on our parent's house when we were kids playing 2-man baseball, it's amazing either of us can sit down at all considering the times we'd had our hides tanned! We must have broken my brother's bedroom window 12 times. We were hitting away from the house, but a foul tip always seemed to gravitate towards that window. Finally we switched to using tennis balls instead of baseballs. Not as fun, but we broke a lot less.

Well, you know the old story the gun wasn't loaded? Back in the winter I was sitting on the sofa and had taken a couple 1911's and a Mossberg 550 out of the safe to clean them. I took the hand guns apart and got them all squared away. The 550 is a home defense 20 gauge shot gun with a pistol grip and a short barrel. It also is a pump, the only one I own. Here's a picture of one exactly like mine. I took it all apart and I knew it had 4 shells in the chamber but none in the tube? I must have cocked it while I was cleaning it. That's the only thing that could have happened, but after I was done I pointed it at the window and expected it to dry fire. Imagine my face when BOOM and my dog was sitting right there. It took out 2 windows, screen and all that. I have been handling firearms for 45 years and never had this happen. But you know the old saying, unloaded guns kill. 361.00 for the repair and I stillhave the screen to fix.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
