mother's day gloat
Don't know if I'm a good hubby or not. I bought Milday a floor
scrubber for mother's day: http://www.k-bid.com/cgi-bin/mnlist.cgi?klosteria96/29 My son works for Tennant, maker of this machine. We'll fix it up just like new. Now, she'll be able to keep the shop floor scrubbed nice and clean ducking and running Karl |

But we will also use it to do the shops, garage, and basement. Karl |

Maybe Julie will get really excited now. I just spotted a 24 volt charger at auction. I'm high bidder at $28 right now. The kid and I should have this machine running like new for about $600. These things go for about $6K. Just to cover myself, I think a mother's day brunch and flowers are still in order. Karl |
