Things I've learned since.......

I cant use a siphon hose anymore, if you run the riding lawn mower out of gas, it is very hard to get started after you put gas in, how to use spray engine starter, how to clean a spark plug, how to use an air compressor to pump up tires, how to put a battery charger on to get a tractor started, how to climb up into a semi truck and get it started and then figure out how to get down without falling out, how to find a key code and have a new key made for a freightliner after you loose the key,how to use the bucket on the tractor for all kinds of things, that if you put the bucket on the ground to hard it will raise the front of the tractor off the ground, how to use the front loader and load the trailer with scrap metal and haul it to the scrap metal sales place,I still cry when I think about Big Weld and Herbie asking Mom when Grandpa is coming back from Jesus' house, that when a mouse dies under the house I cant crawl under to remove it, how to hook the trailer to the pickup,I carry a pocket knife now so I can "pocket knife it", how to hook the disc to the tractor and disc the garden space, how my granddaughter, Violet, can miss me when I'm with her, how Big Weld and Herbie figure that if Grandpa could take being pushed, pulled, jumped on, spindled, and mutilated why couldn't Grandma take it, I cant keep Larry's pickup as clean as he did, and if someone takes your Mustang and rapes and humiliates her you will hate the guy and most importantly, you can lose your beloved husband and it is not the end of the world....but you can see it from here.
