Today I pulled a 15 year old battle worn Victa Corvette with a Briggs and Stratton Sprint 375 (nice Ford reference there) lawn mower out of the shed today. Hasn’t been started for over a year due to its age. Fuel tank empty save for some funky looking junk on the bottom. Gave it a splash of fresh fuel, pushed the primer 3 times and gave the cord a yank. Lo and behold the thing fired first go. Nice little cloud of blue smoke as she warmed up then run like a gooden.

This mower is surplus to my needs now but I can’t bring myself to get rid of it. All the abuse I have subjected the poor thing to over the years, and the amount of money it earned me mowing lawns after school, it still starts first go every time.

It’s amazing how humans get attached to machines, as if they were a living being.
