Topic: Days of Jeff's Life
The Green Hornet rides again! That's what the Dude I work with is calling DQ's riding mower. Actually, it's not his. He just "worked on it" for 6 weeks. DQ likes to make a little money doing odd jobs here and there, mostly using Camp Lakeview equipment. Like the time he said, "When will you guys get your pressure washer fixed? I have a couple people I need to pressure wash for."
And so it was with the Green Hornet. It was Mother's Day when we first noticed it, up on milk crates like the ghetto of the ghetto. The neighbor (it was on her lot) said, "DQ got me a Mother's Day present." It actually spent more time out of the 6 weeks sitting there than getting "fixed". After about a month, DQ got it to the point where it was running. So he'd drive around the park towing DQ Minor in his little truck.
OK, DQ you got it fixed, now give it back! Wait, there's more! He has to drive it in the grass and turf us. Then he can go back to "fixing" it. Time to test the blade. Mow one section of grass (not a whole area) so it's shorter than everything else and stupid looking.
Last week he was drenched in sweat with his hair slicked back. He was in a rush because the guy wanted his mower back. Only 4 weeks after DQ said he worked on it for 6 hours and "fixed" it. It's leaking fuel! SO he sub-contracted one of the neighbors. The next day, it was leaking again. "The neighbor did it wrong" was the excuse, but it looked like someone cut the plug that stopped the original leak. So where do I find DQ? Rooting through the Camp Lakeview workshop.
What's next for DQ? Fixing the water pump on the Camp Lakeview excavator. I'm expecting that project to be done around the middle of July. Of 2010.
