Thread: Going Green

Tweet

I went green today well sort of since I tore up the bottom end of the riding mower. I got out the walk behind mower not self-propelled but by my power of pushing. The new walk behind even though it is a 4-½-horse power runs really slow. So I thought what I would do what any hot rodder would do, make it run faster. I shortened the spring on the carburetor throttle plate now it runs just about twice as fast. Now it’s sort of going green, I used the smaller mower but at twice the speed uses twice the fuel. This all ties in with the global warming thing, I walked behind which in turn would have to burned enough calories that were in the peanut butter cup I had as a snack before cutting the grass. That would reduce my total weight, as they said heavy people add too more wasted energy.

If I would have brought the run away horse home that I rescued the other day he could have grazed on the grass saving more fuel. But then the stimulus package that George is sending would have gone for his checkup. By the way do you have to neuter a horse like a cat? I wouldn’t want a bunch of ponies running around getting other young ponies in a having more ponies’ sort of way.

Richard, don't look now, but you're babbling
Sit down and rest, take a load off and pop the cap on a cold one.

Besides, when you work that hard your CO2 emissions go up.................Al won't be happy with you!

I would use goats instead of the horse. If the grass is too long you just add a goat, too short you just eat a goat. I know, you still have CO2. Well, there's no free lunch but Cabrito is mighty tasty!

Just burn off your grass and you won't have to mess with it.

My wife tried that shortly after I told her that was not a good idea with all of the pine trees around.

By the way people have been asking how you are getting along, someone thought you had surgery or were thinking of having surgery?

We all hope your ok. I just saw your update. Good luck to you.

The goats my be the best deal, I have never had goat cheese but as long as we're giving them grass, maybe they could cut the cheese.
