Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for November 08, 2022

Gary, get the extinguisher and douse that. All of it. Then call a family meeting to discuss hiring a “lawn guy.”

Matilda warned him about using rocket fuel in his mower.

Adding the nitro boost to the mower was counter-productive, Gary.

Tim Taylor would be proud of Gary’s attempt at getting more power.

Is that a protective hat Gary or part of the mower ?

And we told him not to buy gas at Larry’s Gas and Lingerie Shoppe. A gas pump sporting lace bloomers is not right at all.

Gary seems to have wound up wearing the grass bag. Could have been a lot worse.

What was he saying as he tinkered with? “It won’t start, it can’t get any worse than that.”

Gary must be getting advice from my elderly neighbor who has burned out the motors on TWO mulching mowers. Herb lets the grass get too tall so he is constantly stalling the engine. Absolutely burns out the engine. He’s too stubborn to listen to anyone.

So much for that special on Acme Mowers.

That’s what happens when you mow over a chupacabra.

Good morning Balladeers, (((((Plods))))) and Miss Susan.

Well, here’s another fine mess I am in…….

Gary is not a fan of cartoon physics…

It blowed up real good!

Ya think ?

Heavy weeds should not be considered a “stress test”. :)

The part leaning up against the fence looks to have a fuming woman’s facial expression. Watch your back Gary!

Yup.. I wonder does COSTCO have a branch on Ballard St? Those guys will take anything back.

Gary’s Pocket Force Field™ (from Ronco?) saves him once again.

Our snow blower did this one year — literally spewed out some bolts, oil, bits of broken metal, and died. Now we use an ATV with a blade to plow the road.

Luck t’wernt one of them ridin’ mowers!!!

Reminds me of a mower that I once owned!
