Next generation


I have been wanting one of these for the last couple of years. Here, a while back, I e-mailed my friend at Too and told her I was looking for a golf cart. I got an immediate response back that she was wanting to sell her Harley; she would keep the Cushman but she had a Harley for sale.

Sold! I screamed back at her. It is mine! Don't tell anyone else. I want it! And now I have it. 3 wheeled. 20 years old, I suppose. Or older. It was dirty inside and out. But with Himself's help and a bottle of bleach, we have that scooter cleaned up and ready to roll!

Himself took on the chore of cleaning the air filter of 10 year's worth of dirt and grime. I got a bucket of bleach water and started in and soon Himself joined me. Another neighbor brought a bottle of "BAM!" and we gotter cleaned up.

By the time we left today, she was running strong!

Oh. Then I put up a canopy to help keep her dry. I put it up yesterday too and a thunderstorm with wind came through and knocked the canopy down. I put it up again. We'll put her in the shed for the winters but hopefully she can stand out, at hand, for the summers.
After all that was said and done, Himself said, "now we have joined the older generation." I said, "don't you believe it!"

all i know about that "Smelly Hog Mama" is that's what dana calls one of his friends "Smelly Hog Mama Sh*t kicker" i think is the official name! Is there more to it than that Kristy?

The only part that got left out was that Erica had a crush on Smelly. Okay . . . that's a joke!
