How did your ranger try to kill you today?

I have a bunch of grinders, two cordless and like 5 corded, the cordless get used most anymore just for pure convenience but I usually keep one with a flat knotted wire brush, a cup brush, cutoff wheel, flap disc and usually a normal wheel since it works better sometimes. I don't have any name brand grinders I don't think maybe a black and decker but it was cheap... heck one of them is labeled as a plunge cutter or something random...

Operation MOFO

Technically it would be Operation "MAFO", but I like your thinking.

As for Rhonda; She's been uncharacteristically nice to me this year, and it's got me on edge a bit. For the first 4 or so years of having her she was broke down most of that time.
Since I changed the fuel pump back in March( The OEM died in December 2024 but I had to wait for better weather) she's been starting, running, and stopping with no issues except for a faulty upper radiator hose I got from the local NAPA not sealing due to a very crooked end cut on the engine side. It's too cold to change that right now and the new one, from NAPA, is also cut crooked so I might just take it back and get one from somewhere else. I managed to get the current hose to stop leaking and hopefully it will last until warm weather finally hits Pa. But other than that it has been uneventful last year and so far this year.
So after 4 odd years of back to back to back breakdowns, I can't start her up now without half expecting something else to go wrong. Have I finally gotten to the point where I've fixed most of what was wrong with her, causing her to be so uncooperative? Yea, probably not lol. While it's nice to not have to be wrenching on her every day, I just can't shake the feeling it's now over yet. And it most likely never will be.
But at least she hasn't tried to kill me lately. That's something, right?

You are correct! However, an O is a-round.

Gosh, if you lose your wallet in her, and then she disappears, sounds a lot like my ex-wife
