    Awesome day today...

    Well last night I posted an ad on freecycle.com stating that I wanted free non working,out dated or unused items. I put a brief description of what I was looking for.
    Today I got an email from some one and told me that they had a Tv,lamp and a vacuum ok great set up a time to pick it up. Then a woman called said she seen my ad on the site and that she had a snow blower riding lawn mower and a grill said she would talk to her brother because her mom house has a bunch of stuff riding mower snow blower and some other stuff hopefully I get the ok to go.
    The rider mower is a yard man he said it runs but the gas was going into the oil ??? he had to vice grip a line. The Snow blower is an ariens 8 hp electric start no back story on it plugged it in and it turns over so we'll see might have to drain the gas and try again. The grill has alot of cast aluminum was hoping it'd work my dads looking for one but no go the lines are rusted through got another nice grill cover though. It was a pretty good day all in all lol I'm pumped.
