I would like one of those, but it hasn't rained here in forever, and i'm afraid I wouldn't have anywhere to use it. ------------- I didn't do it! It was a short, fat, tall, skinny guy that looked like me! |

He used a Murray as the center piece of the design. An Allis nut would have pulled out an old AC mower and painted the thing orange. Probably would have made the cover of the latest Old Allis News.
