I left my house Saturday headed North, went to a nice tractor pull.
Heading North rarely happens, I almost always leave going South.
So that sent me past a neighbor's house I haven't been by in a
while and I noticed their yard had not been mowed. All year.
Gentleman is getting older, mid 70's, but he always keeps his yard up.
So Sunday afternoon I stopped to see if he had been ill, and if I could help.
He was not ill, his mower is broke and he hadn't been able to get the part yet.
So I ran the mower down and mowed the grass. I should have taken
the rotary cutter! That stuff was 3 feet tall and wet in places.
My sister and nephew were around, so they went down too and
walked the yard picking up sticks that had fallen from the trees
etc ahead of the mower. Cleaned up the yard pretty well.
I thought his wife was going to cry over neighbors that still help neighbors.
Anyway, I got that finished up for them, came back home and thought I'd
had a pretty good weekend overall.
So with the few hours left in the day I figured I'd get one of my
tractors out of the barn and put it in the garage to get it ready
for this weekend's tractor show. Just clean it up, check all the fluids, etc.
Drove it out of the barn, running like a top! Backed it into the
garage forgetting that I needed to remove the muffler to clear
the lower garage doors.
Didn't hurt the muffler or the door any, but it snapped my exhaust manifold right in half!
Makes me wish there was someone else to blame! LOL
Hope ya'll had a good weekend!
