"Ole Red" Retires

Friday night Cherrie convinced me to buy a new lawnmower since "Ole Red" is feeling a little sick.  I've had this mower since David was born and my father had it before me.  He bought this mower new in 1977 and I probably bought it from him about four years later, which makes it 33 years old.


I've used it all those years with very little trouble.  Except now it has a stripped head bolt and I think it's time to give it a rest, when I get bored I'll probably fix it.  I'm probably going to write to Toro and tell them the story.


Well "Ole Red" was replace by a brand new shiny "Red", with a 7 HP engine.  If this mower lasts 33 years...well I'd be a little older.  David would be near retirement, Chloe would be 41, Austin would be 37 and Jordan a young 35 years old.  "Man-o-man!"
