[DVBC] Bob's new Digs

[Doug Bower]

David,
 
So far if everybody that has responded chips in $20.00 we have enough to
pay for the engine, a new battery and shipping. 
 
I called Bob this morning and told him about the mower and he was
speechless. 
 
Good work all, Buckeye

Doug,
 
I'm in.  Do I assume correctly that the deal here is to split the costs
evenly ie: "chip in",  or the donation amounts are randomly up to the
donor?

I'm in too Doug and it's good that we've got all winter to get the
tractor set up.  Those hours Bob won't be spending cutting grass can be
spent on the bike.  Guess he needs to get started on some routes out by
the new homestead.  If he will be living in Nottingham he won't be that
far from White Clay State Park.  Maybe he could do a mtn bike ride
there--I've always wanted to check that out.
Deb

I am so happy with the overwhelming response to the lawnmower idea for
Bob Martin; I need to say again "this is another reason I love this
bicycle club"!!! 
 
I talked to Bob last week about his need for a lawnmower, and I offered
to give him my old mower.  He was thankful for the offer but was
concerned about the repair.  That's when I decided I needed to give it
to him in working condition.  I have searched on-line for a rebuilt
engine and I also stopped at a John Deer dealer to price a replacement.
I found the cost of a replacement engine to be more then the tractor is
worth, so I called my brother-in-law in Georgia.  My brother-in-law
Gene, is a John Deer repair technician and has a replacement engine he
is willing to sell to me at a reasonable cost, although he insists on
installing it as a favor to me..  We now have all winter long to replace
the engine and get the tractor to Bob.  
 
 
Buckeye
