My vacuum collector

Finally got a nice weather day and pulled out some of the junk I have been piling in the shed. Here is a picture of the vacuum collector I bought from a club member. I think this is so sweet and can't wait to give her a whirl. This is really gonna make the neighbors shake their head! Woohoo! Still at least two months away though. :( That's the problem with buying summer attachments in the winter (and winter stuff in the summer). The wait is excruciating! Anywho, this is the machine that I will be hooking up in a few months so that I can begin my composting and get some monster sized veggies. Thanks for all your help and advice to date regarding better cuts, gator blades (and my hare-brained idea to try two set of gator blades), etc. If anyone has any ideas to make this machine operate better or idea's to make it look "cool" and "obnoxious", I will gladly entertain them. I would love to find a set of steer horns like Boss Hog had on the front of his car in "Dukes of Hazzard". Woohoo.

Erik, you should've said something about your cow horn fetish. I had a set but gave them away last month. They were only about 4' from tip to tip though, maybe not big enough for ya? You could paint a picture on the sides of the box of Steven Kings character from the "Lawnmower Man" books that crawled around naked on the lawn behind a push mower eating all the grass, that might get your neighbors to really do a double take.

4 foot horns? Rats, I blew it!!! If I could paint worth a lick, I would try the lawnmower man idea. Maybe I will look for some lawnmower man posters on e-bay. I was thinking of just letting my boys go crazy and paint anything they wanted on it.... every once in awhile, I run across a deer head at a rummage....I thing a twelve-pont buck head would look great hangin off the side of it! Don't you? Or once of those talking Billy Bass things that everyone was gobbling up a few years ago? They are a dime a dozen now. Other ideas?

      Site programming updates were made 3/23/2024. As a result some things have changed including dues payment options. We will continue maintenance and work with technicians to regain credit card payment option and clear up minor challenges. On positive it appears attaching pictures is now easier. Good day. Gene
