There is generally a better way to do something, but you do have to think and then act!!

This is the case of better engineering...

 This is an example of how to put your brain power to work for you or the situation at hand...

I have had this chopper/shredder for some time, but to use it with leaves usually causes the feed chute to clog up after just a few minutes use...  The have to shut down and clear the mess, restart and run for a few minutes before another stopage...  Well I said; "Kermit there is a better way... Lets find it!"

Well have used the high speed blower to move leaves, and thus it became apparently that this would work, if I could first mount and stabilize this feed system...  Have a couple of tent stakes used to stabilize the chopper as it likes to move and wander about on the slopes in the yard...  Then once the machine was stable; I fastened the blower so that it would push the raked leaves down into the chute...   Of course had to position the intake so that the leaves would not stop the blower volume and thus allow a clog...  It only took two tries to get it right...

Boy I feel better knowing that I can over come the obstacles in life and still get things done...  Using just some good brain power and deductive thought...  You see almost anything is possible...

I just think GOD for giving me the intelligence to make sane decisions... Maybe you can do the same on any problem that gets in your way or causes you difficulity... HUH!! 

That is it for now, See YA... Kermit
