Well, it is strange how things happen. I got that mower running (hot wired and all), and rolled on over to the repo house. I can't turn it off because the battery won't hold a charge and the charging system on the mower is out.

Man, that grass was high and thick! I had to creep along in 1st, and back up often.

Pretty soon several of the neighbors came out, arms folded just watching me. The mower was struggling to stay running, but it just kept chugging along. I didn't know what they found so interesting to look at, but I kept on mowing.

Next thing I know my other neighbor comes rolling around the corner on his mower! We started a tag team knocking down the jungle grass! The other neighbor right next to the house came out and just stared, waving every now and then.

Couldn't finish tonight because I needed to watch my son while the wife ran out. Going to wrap up the hard mow on Wed after I help a buddy with the windshield on his 71 Vette. If all goes well the yard will look decent by the end of the week.

I can't tell you how cool it was though to see my neighbor come rumbling around the corner on his mower. Hey, I guess that is what community is all about.

Thanks guys! Could not have had a more blessed birthday. Everyday is a gift. (just remind me of that when my car projects are kicking my butt!)

Happy birthday! I would call you old, but since I'm on my way to 36, I say we're young at heart!
