hey is that you again?
Yep
Very cool.  I guess there must only be a few of us on this late at night
You talk. I'll listen for a bit
ok well let me think of something to talk about ill tell you a funny story that happened to me when i was just a young man or kid in missouri growing up in missouri the grass grows tall and is hard for a mower to cut my dad liked to teach me and my brothers how to work so he would rent us out to the neighbors to mow their tall yards and over grown patches of weeds we did not get paid much but we worked hard Sometimes we would find an old stump in the tall grass that had been cut down but which was hidden by the tall grass.
Oh. I see this coming.
haha.  ya.  so I would mow over the stump and it would bend the mower blade and engine shaft and kill the engine I felt bad so I offered to try and fix it.  I tried. I took it a part and tried to put it back together but I always had left over parts no matter which way i did it
Makes sense
so i gave up on that mower.  before long my dad bought another new mower.  This time I wanted to know how it worked before I broke it.  so i took it apart.
Oh mo No
yep.  the second mower that was almost new had left over parts after i was done.  I was so sad. and I was so in trouble when my dad found out
Haha
anyway I was either told or decided that I would not be getting to use another family mower for experimenting and so i started looking for those neighborhood throw out mowers that people would leave for the garbage man to pick up one day I found a push mower with a magnesium deck but the motor was shot.  The deck had a really nice throw on it and was very light and easy to push and maneuver. a few weeks later, as luck would have it, I found another mower that was a self propelled mower that had a very big motor I was able, with some modiications, to relocate the big motor on small light weight lawn mower deck and put two blades on it.  It was a beast and would cut thru anything after that I was not afraid to mow my neighbors unruly yards. in fact they would call me to do it even when they could do it I think it was because they wanted to see the unique mower at work It was really cool and I made a couple hundred dollars a month mowing yards in the neighborhood using it.
That's a cool story
I was worried it might be putting you too sleep
No But almost
well.  i think that this late at night and the time difference it might be best if I do most of the talking and you just try and stay connected and stay awake so that I can keep working on catching the leader. I dont know how he does it but he keeps pulling away from us and is so hard to catch.
You guys are competitive
ya.  I dont really know the guy.  we have had several conversations and he be leaving me alone.  Because I keep pushing him, I think he is not very happy with me and complains to people i mean.  That is silly.  He is leading by more than a million points.
I don't worry about points
no.  i figured that pretty quickly.  you seem to just be content to listen or read these sillly dialogues
Yep
and you seem to be for sure a man of few words
Yep
well. do you mind if i tell you another story.
Sure. Go ahead
this is a story about heart break and love.  good late night subjects to discuss with total strangers
Cool
so.  I followed the rules in high school that were set by my parents and based on the revealed LDS standards for dating. so our family does not permit dating before 16 and then dating between 16 and a mission, if youre going is only supposed to be done in group dates and uplifting places well, so I was not much of a girl killer in high school I liked the girls but I always seemed to like those girls hardest to get you know.  the really popular ones in student government and sports or cheer. all the girls d go out with, on occasssion, I were more interested in the other more popular boys and the more popular boys were my friends and so I could not date them even if I wanted too. I was shy and not real confident
Ok. I'm still listening
sorry for the pause.  i had to go get something.  I am working on also paying my bills at the same time anyway I got turned down often for dances and more formal dates. I dont know why because I am a handsome and quiet guy
I'm really starting to get tired
oh no.  dont go yet.  can you just keep listening and if you fall asleep, I will just close up the dialogue shop I need to keep going on earning points
I thought we weren't supposed to talk about the competition?
oh.  i thought that had more to do with specifics like points or bragging or making others feel bad. Okay, back to my story. oh hey.  I need to go to the bathroom
I thought we weren't supposed to talk about the competition Ok
