Stopped at my favorite ATV dealer to look at new models. It is one of those huge places that sells a bit of everything, ATV's, motorcycles, lawn care tractors, etc. The only thing I don't like is they have some shop cats. Kind of hard to concentrate on ATV's when your trigger finger is going into spasms. While I was looking at ATV's in their big glass windowed show room there was a salesman going out to a lawn tractor/mower to show it to a customer. He gets on it and hits the electric start. We quickly found out where one of the shop cats was snoozing when the blood and pieces hit the showroom windows. A woman was standing next to me and about went into shock when she realized what had just happened. I tried to calm her down by explaining they probably have a better grass catcher for that model.

Yep they'll hide anywhere,,,You never have a camcorder when you need it the most Neat tale O.E.H.,I managed to bag a chuck with the brush hog one day[messy],,Had to bump it up 3 gears to do it,,No powershift either,,Clay www.thuwumpthuwump.com

I ran a brushhog in a game preserve one summer to help out in removing blackberry bushes. Every once in a while I would hear a soft thump and then look back to see the the poor cottontail body go flying. The red tail hawks would follow me when I was mowing.

It is pretty ugly when you hit a fawn with the swather, they never knew what hit them, but it is a mess

Dan,

Shouldn't that be a better "Crat Catcher".

Johnch,

It would have made a sale to me! Put that mower in the back yard and put open cans of cat food under the mowing deck. Set the deck high enough to go over the cans. Go out once daily and play kitty roulette!
Oh, I forgot the mulching attachement!

When I was a kid, my dad started the mower while it was in gear, the house was full of people, the grass thrower side was facing the picture window next to the buffet table, and the litter of 6 half-grown kittens were under the mower.

For some reason, the guests failed to eat very much, which was okay with me, as I was a teenager, and hungry...

While on the Macabre Av. I'd like to relate something amusing today.

There was a dead coon in the creek, kinda puffed up. Tits up, spread eagle as it were. I gotta say that Big Al disappointed me, for he had a shot at a twofer and passed. Atop the coon was a buzzard, pecking here and there. Now I thought that was novel, and I knew full well if I made a break for the camera he'd fly off, as I was only a few yards away. So I watched. After a few minutes the coon began to roll, and ol' Mr. Buz-zard commenced to running! If that wasn't enough levity, he managed to stay on board and finally get that coon under control, bringing it to a full stop. Peck peck, then the coon went into reverse! Damned if Mr. Buz-zard didn't ride him in reverse too, and finally bring him to a stop again! I've never seen a person do as well in a log rollin' contest...I was laughing so hard I about spit my adnoids out!

Anyway, Big Al never went for it, guess he was spooked or something. I hope somebody else has seen this before, or I just witnessed the next step in evolution in the world of Buzzards. He finally rolled Rocky to the shoreline, and all his buddies joined in the feast. Thought it ungrateful that they didn't even give him a Bud, or give a John Dean yell...

A racoon roll. Maybe it was the inspiration for cinammon rolls. White stuff with redish brown goo in the middle. Pass the cold milk and give me another racoon roll will ya'.
