You might be a redneck if...
My Home Depot lawnmower has a serious design flaw... There's this little spring, that is apparently very important that's exposed up front and as I mow around bushes, it keeps getting snagged/stretched/pulled off and causing the mower to either work at half power or not at all. So... I took a page from NASCAR and whipped out the duct tape! I remember a Dale Earnhardt wreck where they duct taped what was left of the car together and he finished the race. Well guess what, I finished mowing my lawn too:@)
Duct tape and WD 40 fix everything :)

Those drivers don't call it 100-mile-an-hour tape for nothin' Lynn! It's race week here in Charlotte, and there's been lots been of great people watching this week...:)
ReplyDeleteWe have duct tape on our mower right now too. Duct tape has magical powers!
ReplyDeleteI agree with Sam! Both have saved my bacon (apologies to Earl--where is he by the way?) many times.
ReplyDeleteBest,
Bonnie
You're so right, Lynn, as a girl's gotta do! I love your creativity with getting the job done... and thriftily.
ReplyDeleteI love it!! A girl does have to do what a girl has to do!!
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful day. Blessings, Catherine
How smart! You're ready to go now! haahaa! Sweet hugs!
ReplyDeletethanks for the laugh! hey, my rider mower has a wire hanger used to keep the grass vent guard on it and the push mower has the back tires held on by zip ties. :)
ReplyDeleteYou are so funny! =)
ReplyDeleteLove it!
Your mow your own lawn? Thats amazing! Blessings, Martha
ReplyDeleteVery ingenious! You sure are one smart cookie! Been missing all the antics that you and my bud Earl get into. Looking forward to visiting more often now!
ReplyDeleteYou are one smart cookie! Bill uses a lot of duct tape for his repairs, too!
ReplyDeleteI have to tell you MY story about duct tape....when our twin grandgirls were in diapers, one of them hated wearing diapers...she would pull and tug and stretch them until they fell off her...many times, I would drive up to their house and see her naked as a jaybird, playing on the swing set...One day, I noticed, from a distance, that they were outside playing and the naked one seemed to be wearing something...a diaper??? Wow...well, her daddy had DUCT TAPED the diaper so that there was no way she could get out of it....hahhhaa....we still kid her about her Duct Tape Diapers.
ReplyDeleteCan’t imagine getting on without duct tape! Gotta laugh!
ReplyDeleteWE believe in duct tape for Everything!
ReplyDeleteLynn, I don't know what we would do without duct tape! Did you know it comes in all kinds of patterns now? You might even find one with little piggies on it. Home Depot needs to rethink this design! Linda
ReplyDeleteThis cracks me up Lynn! Love it, love it, love it! Hugs and blessings, Cindy
ReplyDeleteFunny lady...this made me smile this morning!
ReplyDeleteI'm with Sam...duct tape and WD40... What would life be without them? ;)
