When I was fourteen years old, I was amazed at how unintelligent my father was. By the time I turned twenty-one, I was astounded at how much he had learned in the last seven years!

Actually, DJ, you are correct. I went back and looked at the pic and details I had saved, Indian, never did make a lawnmower. My bad.   :bsflag:

Actually, this is my 1964 'Abner' 2 stroke, cast aluminium lawn mower. unfortunately never got to run it. Maybe I should. Fun trivia, it's parked right next to my 57 Del Rio !  :003:







It has a German ROTAX 2 stroke engine, similar like they were used in Ski-Dooes and also for aviation.

Going from lawn mowers to snowy weather conditions doesn't get more random than that.

Being the kind soul that I am...I'd have been willing to help warm them up after that freezing shoot. VERY willing!   :hello2:

RE: #293...might sound cold hearted...but the bad news is he's still with the living. I can only imagine how long his sheet is...or how many times he has been in a state B & B...
