No good deed goes unpunished

Posted by Royse on June 10, 2013 at 18:42:12 from (69.36.49.151):

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!
