[Jim Robinson]

Howdy everyone!!

We're getting there!!

We're now approximately EIGHTY percent of the way to our current quarter FReepathon goal!! A little more help from our dear friends and we're over the top!!

If you enjoy reading and participating on FR and if you think it's a worthwhile endeavor and would like to help us keep it going, please click the link above and donate via secure server. Make it a monthly if you can.

Or mail checks to Free Republic, LLC - PO Box 9771 - Fresno, CA 93794.

Free Republic is funded solely by contributions made by liberty loving grassroots conservatives like you who enjoy and use it. We take no money from and are not beholden to outsiders or corporate or party string pullers.

New monthly donors:

We currently have some very generous FReeper sponsors who will kick in an additional $10.00 per new monthly donor, so this is a great way to get a little extra bang per your buck and to help future FReepathons run a little faster.

And FR delivers a BIG bang for your buck!! Each dollar donated delivers thousands of pages of corruption-exposing/liberty-advancing information to thousands of liberty-loving readers all across the fruited plains and around the globe. The sun never sets on Free Republic!!

FR costs: Approx $0.001 per page delivered (that's 1 tenth of a cent per page!).

FR benefit: Priceless!!

Thank you all very much!!

Resistance to tyranny is obedience to God.

We are the resistance!!

Prayers up for our beloved Republic!!

And it is a Republic (if we can keep it)!!

God bless.

A departure from principle becomes a precedent for a second;
that second for a third; and so on, till the bulk of society is reduced to mere
automatons of misery, to have no sensibilities left but for sinning and suffering…
And the fore horse of this frightful team is public debt. Taxation follows that, and in its train wretchedness and oppression.

-Thomas Jefferson

Well we took apart the mower and it has a bent rod. We bought it used and it’s been apart before. And apparently back-firing. Found tape on melted parts.

[The Cajun]

Well we took apart the mower and it has a bent rod.

Ouch!!!
What size engine and make?

[DJ MacWoW]

It’s a Toro Pony. It’s just a small one but it fit our budget at the time.

Woo hoo!!

And another $100.00 just in from California!!

Thank you very much, California FReeper!!

Monthly Donor Bump! I need to revise my monthly - details in the comments box on the donation page.

What Would You Do Without Free Republic?

"What would you do Without FR?????

Suppose one day you tried to log on and Free Republic wasn’t there? Where would you get your up to the minute news? How about the live threads as things are happening?

How would you know about the latest Demorat scams, anti-second amendment schemes and all the other liberal, anti-American ploys that are tried every single day?

Insight into world affairs, brilliant wit, sharp retorts, instant information gratification are a few of the things that make FR so vital.

How would you keep on top of things without FR?

How would you know who to contact to complain about the lying politicians, Media Bias, Hollyweirds latest mouth off, sponsors of these idiots, company policies that are unfair and all the other things we need to know to counteract the liberal mindset and the evil plans of liberals?

How would you be part of a Freep?

What would you do without FR????

Freedom isn’t free.

If you enjoy the site and find it a place of like minded Americans to sound off, to get together, to fight back, to have your voice heard and make a difference, PLEASE CONTRIBUTE NOW! Jim can’t do this alone.

The liberals are sure we won’t be able to keep FR up & running. Prove them wrong. Show them we are indeed united Freepers. Whether it is $5.00, $50.00 or more, it all adds up. Please send a donation now to Free Republic."

I need to rethink that. Maybe its beavers that can do away with some of the biomass. LOL!

[The Cajun]

With a bent rod, probably the crankshaft is also bent and maybe the main bearings are also shot.
Check and see if there is a *short block* available for the engine.
Otherwise new engine time, if the rest of the mower is OK.
I have some experience with such, my new *Snapper Rider* is 24 years old and my backup is 32 years old.

Palin at #SALT2012:

"“I don’t want to keep slamming the media, but I will.”

"Obama doesn’t have an energy policy, only a speech. He “strangles” resource development – “a none of the above approach“

Politicians in Alaska liked to tie pork to public safety and make it “for the children” – I said NO. Cut spending.

Tea Party has redefined American politics – “just follow the Constitution!” – “it has only just begun“.

I’ll tell him. We know a rod has been replaced before because one is steel and the other isn’t.
