MOW POWER, MO' BETTAH

MOW POWER just got mo' bettah!

MP received an 'engine overhaul' and
 a new paint job this week.

Tom repainted the blue 'engine block' a nice bright orange

and spruced up the exhaust pipes with black paint.

He replaced the old air filter with a shiny new one and

added a cool fan which he also painted black and red.

MOW POWER

The creatures is built on a coil spring from a Ford truck

so he wiggles when touched or in a strong wind.

A Toro lawn mower like no other!

The headers and fan are recycled from a

small block Chevy

while the valve covers and carburetor

 are from a small block Ford.

Tom fabricated the 'engine block'

from a sheet metal and attached

all of the individual parts to it.

Whhheeee! That looks like fun!

The creature and the weight of the engine and mower

sort of balance out each other

so, as Tom notes, it is an 'infinite wheelie'.

The rear wheels anchors the sculpture.

The rear wheels came from an industrial scissors lift

 and are filled with a material that makes them

weigh about 75 pounds a piece.

Bobby and Me

 I helped our friend Bobby fish in the creek

when he was here a few weeks ago.

He came all the way from Maui to meet me

so I was pretty excited!

Time to go hunting.

Goodnight.
