Well Frank yesterday was your problem day...............
This morning mine began........ Went out and opened the garage
door to get the mower out to do the lawn and as the door was
going up I hear all kinds of funny (NOT) nosies. While I'm
trying to figure out what in H*ll is that a 12" rubber wagon
wheel with a heavy metal center comes rolling out from under the
door and between my feet. After the door was up I saw another
wheel sitting dead center of the bonnet, a propeller from my
outboard laying on the floor, along with the remains of a glass
bottle spread alll over the place!!!!!!! 'Ole Gray' is no
longer show quality! It now has 4 big dents and one big paint
chip (prop blade shaped). Seems a box I had stored overhead
decided to come unglued on one end, spilling out half of it's
contents right on the bonnet! I have a prepaid show on the 27th
so I need to get it fixed soon.............
