Bad leaf day

[elcamino/wheelhorse 9,297]

Waldo started out at 9:30 AM with 310-8 with Trac Vac system , eating leaves . Everything find for a while except unloading and dumping Big Brute trash can full of grounded up leaves and grass. All of a sudden front end front end pops up in the air. Shut down tractor and 5 hp Briggs . Mule drive fell off . What the What ! Never had that happen. Drive belt under rims of pulley. Out comes big 1 1/8" wrench remove cover , get belts back where they belong . Can't see why mule drive fell off .  Back to work cleaning front yard of leaves , knob for shifter decides to unscrew and fall down in tunnel  . Son of a witch , can see knob but don't  have monkey fingers to get it.Finish with leaves, Waldo really hates the Big Brute Trash can !  Got to be a better way. Get wrench out remove cover to tunnel , knob still there so is big pile of leaves and dirt. Get small shop vac out, no suction. Pull apart , and clean everything with air. Might as well pump up tires on neighbor large hand truck to move stuff off deck. Air going in just as fast as air coming out of tires. Back to What the What !  Come in house take a shower , eat lunch. Two large marble pot that Mrs. El insisted had to be moved from dead aunts house in Queens, NY to our house in 2000. (Younger man then. ) have to be moved off deck. Get my hand truck with hard rubber tires and wide board to get those %^&*() pots off deck.  Move more stuff , check thermometer 85 degrees Only 2:00 PM enough for today.  Going to take another shower later. Does that mean I can skip shower tomorrow.  In 1992 when we purchase house on 3/4 acre lot in nice neighborhood with a lot of big old oak, hickory and gum sure was pretty. Not so sure now. Tree removed in 2021 was 30 inch diameter 1 foot off ground.

Lot of leave production from trees that size , and that was one of the small ones. Waldo needs a nap.

I would think a beer and nap would be the choice of experts in this field.

Is Ted Turner still alive?  I need to call someone in Hollywood. I would call Sherwood Schwartz but that old coot died 11 yrs. ago! 

 

My name would look good in the credits!

Waldo don't wear short pants , bony knees.  Waldo wake up at 8:30 not good got stuff to do. Oh stupid government only 7:30 AM . Move to put on long pants , every joint sounds like Rice  Krispies (SP ) . Waldo can't spell. Turn on coffee pot , blow nose looks like leaf dust has moved in permanently . Coffee finally ready , take 6 morning Rx's then light tobacco stick. Only thing smell better is gas and oil. Get paper and decided outside is better, then news. Only 68 degrees , decide to move leaf eater back in stable. Click click , look at solenoid , brown weld ( don't tell squonk , he bust Waldo's chops).Get stool and tools , crud solenoid held on by regular nut and bolts. Have to take plate off to remove solenoid . Brown weld everywhere  . Write note buy vinegar at Wally World  . Find small bottle  of rust remover in kitchen cabinet ( write on note make 2 it bottles oh heck 1 small bottle and one gallon, make it 2 gallons ( good weed killer) Back to work  rattle can tops good holder for nuts and bolts and vinegar. Everything bubbling.  Put out Mrs. EL wooden ironing board , c clamp and grinder. Neighbors look out  crazy old man making noise again . Waldo here first , best friend who died in 2007 passed the finger of authority  to Waldo . Grind away brown rust and spray rust sealer on it hang up to dry. Back to leaf eater, look at everything and decide tomorrow be better day. Use lift lever to get up off stool thumb hit button on top of lever , deck falls on foot. Naughty words fill sky. Now about 75 degrees . Remove final piece of lattice work. Okay all down , where to stack out of way. Got 2 pallets behind shed move around to yard  , 6 bricks platform made . Move all plastic lattice from frames, oh crud frames made of 2x4's  , lattice on platform first . 2 x 4 's hauled by hand to platform many trips . Can't use tractor and wagon to haul 2 x 4 's wagon full of c##p from yesterday. Walk about 10 miles , get tarp to cover leaf eater , bungee cords about worn out. Make note , Chinese bungees from HF . Finally use rope to tie tarp down. Time to put tools away. Waldo smart always pile tools by tobacco sticks.  Now about 80 degrees everything put away and shed locked up . Walk to deck electric blower on deck . Hide under deck , c**p extension cord laying ground leaves will cover up .Only thing on deck for builder to move is grill , Mrs. El potting bench ( made of 4 x4 's deck boards ( 2 men and 3 boys moving job ) and keystone from PA.

I was at a funeral home for the past 3 hours. I didn't think it would be appropriate to burst out laughing!

[WHGuy413 2,683]

Absolutely loved this post and the comments. Thanks for the laughs everyone!

[elcamino/wheelhorse 9,297]

@squonkSorry to hear you were at funeral home. stay tuned for tomorrows adventures . I am sure something will happen. Now for a laugh . Recreation center behind my house rents out building for parties etc when pool is closed. I keep gates closed to keep out rift raff and other individuals. Gates aren't locked just closed. Car pulls up at 8pm Friday night takes pin head 1/2 hour to open gates. Saturday morning car pulls up to gates , dumb and dumber can't get gate open. Saturday afternoon rocket scientist open gates and party is on. Sunday morning gates open so I close them. While I take nap , some one opens gate. Railroad track just pass gates . About 6 :00 PM cleaning up kitchen I notice car has taken right turn on railroad tracks ( not the first time it has happened ) . Train has not run down tracks , but almost time for it. Cars pull up behind car stuck on tracks. Larry Moe and Curly , Little Rascals surround car ( sounds like all are drunk ) I am standing on deck in the dark laughing my a$$ off. Finally Rocket scientist arrives on scene , gives order lift up car and push car back on road. Two or three pin heads fall on track. Get  car back on road and all drive away. Finally rocket scientist closes gate . While I am typing this , someone  pulls up to gate  gets out with big flash light , goes to railroad track where car was parked . Don't know if person was looking for teeth or car parts. Going to recommend to Rec Center head Poobau   they give IQ test to renters or DNA test to see if ancestors of renters has brother and sister producing off spring.   This actually happened nothing made up.
