Now looking for a good used lawn tractor

It'll take a little while yet, but the wheels on this "little project" are finally rolling.

The picture doesn't show much, no, but if it helps take a look at this...

...and the house is off-camera to the right. :) I don't have a clearer picture because while I've certainly spent lots of time in the place in years past I haven't...quite...actually...looked at it yet.

The occasion being marked here was a visit to a lawyer. Now I haven't visited many lawyers' offices--though I did hang out with a bunch of them when I participated in some Copyright Board hearings, that was "fun"--so maybe they're all the same, but wow, if you have some stereotype in your head of what a small-town lawyer's office looks like, it sure fit it. If it wasn't for the recent vintage copier behind the clerk's desk(I think she had a computer, with perhaps as much horsepower as a low-end cell phone)you might think you'd stepped back in time 40 years. Pine chairs. You could still smell the cigars of the previous proprietor. The few walls not covered in bookcases have prints of old British warships. His actual 'office' was a windowless box about 8 by 10 with a large safe built in to the back wall. I'm not sure if the galvanized ducting halfway sticking through the old acoustic tiles helped or hurt the whole ambiance.
