Pluggers by Rick McKee for May 24, 2014

All my tools would be gone before even one of my Patsy Cline LPs was touched. Not even the one with the valley scratch on the A side, and it only plays parts of two songs on the B side. LOL!!!!!

For me being a Plugger also is lending a hand to your neighbors, (except for the Patsy Cline LPs, they’re a rarity).

Jim Reeves albums either….

I also must respectfully disagree. I grew up in farm country. You help your neighbor whenever/however you can and thank God you’re not the one in need.

I’ve got a lender mower and no Patsy records, but I do have her songbook.

I’m a generous guy, but I gave up loaning stuff when the stuff returned un-useable, or at least took hours to fix..

Moral of the story: Dogs do not trust cats, and not without reason…

I have more than 100 vinyl albums and do enjoy listening to them on occasion. When I tell some of my “techy” friends I listened to a “record” last night, I usually hear, "When are you going to get with the times and put that old stuff on a hard drive or some other “modern” device!"They may think they are tech savvy; but I believe they really don’t get it!

I do loan out tools but not the good ones last time that happened was with good wood chisel and they ruined a sheffeild steel blade

I actually hired the next door neighbor’s kid to clean our driveway, and told his father he was welcome to use our Toro snow thrower. The first time it snowed, I noticed dad was out manually shoveling our drive, and the kid was nowhere to be found. Never did understand that…

…once lent…over time…becomes a borrowed item by the previous owner

Every time I get a new mower, I have to enlarge the discharge hole. Unmodified mowers clog way to easily.

Amen, leave the grass (aka fertilizer) on the lawn. Saves time by not having to pick it up and it’s better for the lawn. Haven’t bagged in 21 years.
