    As step one NEVER fires anyone of my other engines, I wasn't concerned until I was unable to keep the engine running after I thought it should be sufficiently warm to flip the lever to no choke.

    As I have a very cold blooded string trimmer, I just kept it in half choke longer and longer. So, 3 tries and I was fuming. Thought I had a piece of crap.

    Read the instructions at that point. OMG!!

    Why the F do I need to do that? Simple logic: Step One, position one, etc.

    Timing was funny, your issue with the choke and a work issue. I wasn't pointing the finger at you.

    But I live the upside down world of carbon express' spine chart, so I appreciate your challenge.

    But I will brag, I nailed the over under on your start attempts @ 3...

    I'm really motivated now. I'll have to watch the Goonies to figure out how to find the pirates gold as well.

    The co-op that I have been buying my fertilizer and seed from merged with a larger company last year. I looked up their number online so I could get prices on the things I needed. When the lady quoted me a price for more than double of what I was expecting, I told her to hold off on my order. She had told me that my RR soybeans were the big expense at $340 for 2 bags and that the Forage oats were at $0.97/ lb. ( $97 for 2 bags). I informed her that I only paid $56/ bag for the beans and $17 for the oats last year from them. She then informed me that the beans I bought weren't RR. I said I had sprayed the hell out of them with Roundup and they did just fine. She didn't know what to say. I told her I'd get back to her.

    After I hung up, I researched online and found the prices to be in line with what I was expecting. I even called a different co-op and found the same thing. I called the woman back and said there had to be a mistake and told her of my findings. I then offered to give her the part numbers from last years receipt. That's when she informed me that I was talking to her in the main office in a different city, not the store I did business with last year. Also, that at her location they only dealt with food plotters and that type of seed. The kind with the big buck pictured on the front! Beans at $170/ bag must be pretty special.

    After getting the correct phone number for the store I wanted, it was business as usual. $56 beans and $17 oats. So, off I went to get my goods.

    The bottom line is I wasted 1 1/2 hours dealing with this when I could have drove there and back and had all my stuff in that length of time.

    Well co-op and feed mill seed isn’t designed for the specific dietary needs of deer and it doesn’t even have any of the proprietary antler magic growth enhancer supplement or any of the doe-in-heat rut extending secret blend of hormones and spices.

    In the isles too. I walk around 2 guys and hear my name muffled out loud . Turn and have no idea who this person behind the mask is. Then they start walking closer and begin taking mask down. I quickly say Oh oh Hi! Still no clue. Then blA bla bla . I try to get away and they manuever their cart in front of mine. 10 mins later as I'm still trying to get away explaining I can't hear them. Mask starts coming down . No! thats OK! I practically scream I'm really running behind! WTH! I realized I hadn't seen nor spoken to this person in 15 yrs how did they recognize me behind a full face mask!?..lol
