Before starting it he would ask grandpa if he would "put the knob on the rabbit". It has been 15 years and that still gets used about every day around here. Need to do something quick? Just put the knob on the rabbit. My nephew is 18 now and hates it a little more each time we say it. [Reply]  [No Email]

If MY life depended on her starting a lawnmower ( electric start with key in ignition ) ... i'd be a gonner.... :) [Reply]  [No Email]

A few years ago, she noticed the brush getting up along the fence line & asked me "Can any of those old tractors pull a bush hog or are they just for working on?" [Reply]  [No Email]

I told him that it looked like it was operating at 'full power' he thought that was quite funny.. :) just for working on... too funny.. I'm still laughing at that one. I gotta tell the wife that one.. :) [Reply]  [No Email]
