All the rest were laughing hard. He didn't know a thing until he was loading them yesterday morning. Ka Chow!!!

Well, they are Mark's and they were in crayon..... Actually they were layout drawings of Parris Island from 1996 IIRC. That place is ever so changing.

Okay Marine, grab a crayon. If you can draw a map and get off of this Island, you pass.

OK, I'll bite - - what on earth is a belly mower? I have images that I don't like.

Negatory - - they needed them desperately because they will not be in a condition to remember how they took it apart. In fact, they may need a map to remember where the truck is.

Son took back off for home - - been nice having them around. Now, the blonde is having a birthday tomorrow so I get to pamper her and have some fun. I am blest - - she is a doll.

OK, better go - - grabbing some ph00 on the way out.

Yeah, your image is correct, 'ol Claude is kind of hairy.

Tell your wife for me, "from one blonde to another, Happy Birthday!" With any luck she'll get as old as you in twenty or so years!

Bob, what's with coming in at 6 or 7 at nite? You used to be such an early riser. Is this what old age does to you?

Hey! That's not true at all. We did one side at a time. If we got stuck or lost, we could just go and take the other side apart till we get unstuck.

Good thing we floated the keg after we were done.

Bob, a belly mower is one that mounts on the under belly of a tractor. It's typically a removable attachment, much like a plow or disc, etc.

Coming in??? I was just headed out. I still rise early - - up at 4:30 yesterday and 5:30 this morning.

I will pass your words on to the blonde, Scott. She is just as purdy as she was when we got married - - I'm a lucky guy. Too bad I can't stay purdy - - just get older and uglier and she stays the same - - tain't fair. Course, rather have it that way than the other.

OK???? I guess that sounds like really good logic - - especially if you have had a few.

Gotcha - - I've run those - - never heard it called a belly mower. I had really weird images of what that might be.

True, but sooner or later she's going to get a good look at you, and you better pray hard that you have SOME redeemable qualities that supersede your physical attributes!

J/K Bob! All the best to both of you!

Me either! Where I come from, 'belly mower' is red-neck for 'stomach waxing'.

We called it a mower "bed." Had a whole buncha neat stuff to hook up under the "belly" but we didn't call it the belly. Don't remember we called it anything special - - we just knew where to put it. What I pictured sure didn't look like your picture.
