all right more machete born but that's not what this videos about I got my
final two machetes in this is the marbles this is a cold steel it's made
in South Africa and this is made in El Salvador so these are the three that
I'll be trying out tomorrow tonight I got to put an edge on on this one and
this one this has got a real nice edge this marbles came with a fairly decent
edge this came with a fairly decent edge and the cold steel I mean it's you know
it's not even a edge really that's there's a good 16th of blade that I got
to come down with on either side so uh anyway let me give you an update on the
bank here let me give you something pretty to look at while I was at the
dealership buying what you're fixing to look at here in the next clip I got
three phone calls in the course of about Oh 45 minutes from the bank manager of
the bank that stole $100 from me and that's what I'm gonna call it first time
he called me was to ask me exactly what time it was when this transpired and I
told him I'm the only reason I knew exactly what time it was because as I
was trying to leave the bank I thought to myself my god the traffic hat was
heavy and I looked at my clock and it was lunchtime 12 17 so that explains
everybody you know hustling to and fro trying to get their sandwiches and get
back to work so he calls me back a little later and asks me to explain what
it was that happened and I went through the whole thing got the money stuck it
in my pocket went to Pizza Hut came back my wife and I coke pieces of pizza I
came my man gave open my safe to put the
money in open the envelope counted the money and there was only
well there's only 300 in there not 400 and that's part of my down payment on
what's coming up my the next clip you'll see I was trying to put his big a
downpayment on it as possible is to keep my payment low and it is low it's less
than hundred bucks anyway so you know the conversation every time he called it
got a little less polite and a little less polite and ultimately it was he
said well sir I can't find any wrongdoing here I've been able to watch
the video and although when he's at the window I can't see his hands I can see
and Counting the money out and I said yes he did count the money out and then
his hands disappeared below the edge of the counter and when they appeared again
the envelope had the money in it and it was sealed and he said well I don't know
what to tell you and I said okay so let me let me run this by you there's only
two other possible scenarios one is that I'm lying and he goes yes I said and the
other is that somehow without me knowing it $100 unsealed the envelope got out
sealed the envelope back up between the drivers the drive-through window and get
into my house that's what you're trying to tell me anyway he said look I could
give you a hundred bucks I said you know what you just keep the hundred bucks I
can live without it have a nice day I'm gonna move on and I'm not gonna do
anything to the guy you know I yesterday I probably would have but I
promised my wife I wouldn't and I won't but anyway just talking about it's
making me mad although I've never had anybody just blatantly robbed me like
that okay let's look at another
okay machete corn so anyway I bought this ZTR and that's what the next three
clips are it's taking me forever to mow the grass that I have now and I've been
wanting this ETR for years and years and years and I have been saving and saving
and saving I was hoping I would want to run across to use one and I'd have
enough money in my savings to buy it and I haven't run across a used one with low
enough hours the used ones have oh the amount of hours that I would consider
getting rid of it at you know 1100 1200 1300 hours you might get two or three
hundred more hours of use out of it so I went ahead and called the people that
sell new xmarks and they had a promotion going on on certain models that they're
discontinuing they had $1000 off as well as some other incentives you know if you
add ons and extras so I went over there with all the cash I had - the hundred
dollars that was robbed from me and I've got a small loan on one I got a heck of
a deal I think anyway the next three Clips will explain thanks for watching
though well I'm headed to my friend Duane's to borrow his trailer I'm buying
a ZTR an x-mark and it's going to be too big to fit on my little trailer the
other day I mowed all my property including the the new land and it took
me 6 full hours and the CTR should cut it in probably half maybe
more we'll see but I've been want as ETR for so long
and I've been saving and saving and saving and saving for a couple of years
now every penny I could sock away and fixing to go get one it's not the laser
it's the pioneer and all they have is a 60-inch deck I wanted a 52 inch deck so
I could get it on my trailer but they don't have one and they're phasing out
the 2015 models or 16 I can't remember which so right now there's $1,000 off
promotional thing and and I don't want to lose that thousand dollars so I may
just go ahead and go with a 60-inch deck I'm gonna get over there
I'm almost positive that's the one I'm gonna get but you know I don't win
doesn't want to show whole bunch of his plays
anyway let me hook up to his trailer and I'll show you what I'm getting
I got it tied down let's see if we can get home in one piece
there it is 25 horse Kawasaki hydro gear transmissions and they have oil filters
they're serviceable it's a 48 inch deck which I have a 54 and I could barely get
that 54 on my trailer I was gonna go with a 60 but when I measured my doors
on my where I keep my lawn mower back there I couldn't have got that through
there I couldn't have got it on my trailer and they have a 52 but the price
difference I mean there was actually no price difference between it and the 60
inch and between it and this was a couple thousand dollars difference so uh
heck I went with a 48 I have wanted a ZTR God for 20 years because it just
makes mowing so much easier anyway I'm fixin to go mow know it doesn't really
need mowing but I'm gonna mow anyway Wow that's not work that's fun
I never thought I'd I never thought I'd be happy when the grass grows again I
just mowed the two acres out there and uh you know took me about an hour and
ten minutes I weren't 15 minutes there is a learning curve to this if you
haven't driven one until you get the hang of those sticks it's best to go a
little bit slower but I got it now
