OOO ooo oo, I guess it's some sort of way-to-big ant mound? I've seen that picture (one similar) on one of these forums and was amazed at what critter built it. Ah, Sherry! I was being slow and just understood your answer. Okay, I change my answer from ant mound to the same as Sherry's--"mother earth" Haaaa, LOL! Carla

I'll trade you fog for some damp, cold to the bone 27 degree icy weather! Because we are crazy, we're going to a weeks ski trip tomorrow to Mt Bachelor Oregon. I just checked the weather, it's 2 right now! "but it's a dry cold" says DH! Kathy

ok well how would you like to do it would you like to send the seeds to me and i make sure everyone gets different seeds + a few extra in return or would you like to send them round taking out the amount you put in, we could do a closing date of 1st Dec say 15 seeds apack you can send as many packs as you like, and i promise to give everyone extra seeds from my own seed boxs as i could do with a bit of a clear out, i would have all seeds sorted and posted back out by 3rd DEC, put as much info (or as little) as you know on each pack, and if you only have a few or unusal seeds send in multiples of 5's, if any one wants to join please join the more people the more variety of seeds,also when you send your seeds please write a brief note with name,address (so i can double check b-4 sending) email address and a wish list of no more than 5 differnet types of seeds as i will try to make sure every one gets at least 1 packet thats on there wish list,i will start sending emails to everyone who wants to join in from monday 19th nov,with address to send them to,also try to incourage others to join so then you have more chance of getting all the seeds on your want list. Penny. let me know if this sounds ok with everyone or if there is anything you want to add you can, all seeds should be as well protected to be posted as possible..

Cleaned all of the hard caked grease out of the drive and replaced a bad rubber friction disc on one side. Now it acts like a Lawn-Boy should. Gave the carb another good cleaning, replaced the fuel line and added a small filter. Air cleaner is in great shape and clean. New spark plug. Got to take it out for a good work out Yesterday. I mow a Church yard that takes about two hours to do the section that I like to use a push mower on. Added 4 oz of Echo Power Blend oil (use it in all of my two strokes) a gallon of fuel and went at it. I took the plug out and reinstalled it only finger tight for the first 15 to 20 minutes ( I can tell a lot about how good the engine is being lubed this way). The plug had a good oily film on the threads and a small oily ring around the plug hole. So it is getting a good amount of oil at around 40:1 ratio and belches a puff of smoke each time the governor opened up. It never missed a beat and the cut was what I expected from an old LB. I did notice that the cables need to be lubed or replaced. They seem drag a little, especially the engine brake, but never did fail to operate the way they should. So I will wait until mowing season is over and tear it down for new cables, wheels, paint and polish. Funny thing. While mowing the Church yard. Three older men came over and was standing around talking. I stopped and ask if they needed anything. One said that I was playing music to his ears. For he had not heard a good running old 2 stroke LB in years and the others agreed. I just went back to playing my instrument enjoying the music as they had.
