Momma’s Going To Kill Me
So, I’m pretty sure Momma is going to kill me! Why? Because, I have a weakness for FREE stuff. Especially free stuff with wheels and an engine. 
In the past year I have acquired an 87 Chevy Blazer, a 77 Honda motorcycle, and 4 old push mowers that I didn’t pay a penny for. The free “junk” is piling up behind our shed at amazing rates! (If I don’t stop bringing home so called “junk”..I may just be found mangled in the “junk pile” behind our shed. 
)
Guess what…none of the free “junk” ran when I got them. (and most of them still don’t…but they will).
My most recent score was a 1970’s something model John Deere 56 riding lawn mower…yes…for FREE! I found it on Craigslist and was all excited! I am tired of push mowing our yard. I knew it didn’t run, but I know that almost anything can be fixed. I was really looking forward to kicking back, with no shirt, catching some rays, with a beer in one hand, and the steering wheel in the other as grass clipping flew all over the place.
So I picked it up and brought it home, but guess what…not only did it not run, but it had no mowing deck. That means no blades. That means it is not mowing crap 
Momma asked, “What the hell are you going to do with it if you can’t mow with it?”
Well, a few weekends ago I managed to get it started and actually move under it’s own power. Amazing huh? While most people would have taken this old worthless pile of junk to the dump for a proper burial, I found a good use.
Quit snickering at my oh so cool camo hat and good jeans!
Now I just look forward to kicking back, with no shirt, catching some rays, with Ace in one hand, and the steering wheel in the other as we zoom around the backyard dodging the land mines and annoying the neighbors with the rumble of a 6 horsepower engine running beneath our seat!
Screw mowing…let’s just ride!
By the way…I just realized that if I do things right, you can click on the picture and actually comment on the picture alone. Expect all pictures on DadThing to be like this for now on.
Well, if you ever come to OH look me up and I’ll let you take a few laps on the ole’ John Deere. 
Okay so why didn’t someone warn me ten years ago that you were such white trash sometimes!!! You people should see the junkyard that he is accumulating in my yard….I think if he brings anything else home we are gonna need a permit and a higher fence!!! Love you Jelly….most of the time!
