My father frequently said "you can't eat sentiment" when talking about saving or getting rid of antiques.

Pa, you may not be able to eat sentiment, but what if you use the sentimental piece to grow food?

Just got done re-assembling the troy bilt tiller, put a new transmission on it, and I'm going to rebuild the old transmission, as it's the third prototype transmission form the tillers made in Troy, NY.

Part one of the mission accomplished, the tiller lives, and I'll spend the next week or so sweating my butt off while I till the garden.

Barkeep, in honor of my father, how about a cold beer?(Pa drank 2 things while tilling.....lemonade during, and a part of the 6-pack of beer he drank every summer when the tilling was done!)

I'll have a lemonade, as the tilling isn't done yet! We've had such a wet spring, I hear the "musk-ox" quote in my head whenever the rain renews the puddle that is theoretically the back lawn here!

Sure sign of spring when I see and smell newly-mown grass! The rain we had in the last several days really got the green going!

I'll take a large Irish with ALL coffee please!
