Those guys have a great go for the gusto attitude. They like to tackle big. No fear. No project is too big. Formidable

I once hit a grape sized stone perfectly with the old rotary mower. It flew from the exit of the mower deck well past the lined up pile of grass it made. In fact it flew over 200 yards across the street and busted a window of the gradeschool, went though the classroom and buster the opposing window too. It ended up in the classroom. This is how we had proof. I heard it hit "tink" and kept cutting. Then a moment later I heard glass. I turned to see the window broke. It was little bro's classroom. Mrs. Davis if memory serves. Sheesh. I never told anyone. Mighta saved my self a serious ass whoop on that one. I can talk about it now. Statute of limitations and all. I wonder what would have happened to someone walking by on the sidewalk, or driving by in a car if timing was worse off. Might could have killed someone. I would bet money that you are totally innocent. I have stood on the opposite side of a window that was shattered by a stone from a mower. haha! When it comes to my father, I was never innocent! If he learned I broke that window, I would has a serious beating. Never mind logic like I had no control. I was pushing the mower and should have had not allowed it to happen.

My Dad was like that. If my brother and i got into it we both got a whippin. Did not matter. Shoot first and ask questions later. Later you could say " i started it, Bob was innocent ". Then i would get another whippin. And he would say " and i finished it ". Then we would all start laughing. And he would say 'life is not fair'. And we realized he taught us to be prepared. It was the final point.
