Stuff you find while mowing tall vegetation

……..The story was she is a prostitute and a couple guys picked her up, brought her out to my town and dumped her out when they were done with her.

Didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.

That story reminds me of an early morning encounter I had a couple years ago. It was around 5:45AM on a normal weekday morning and I as was walking out of a convenience store, about 1/2 mile from the job, carrying my big cup of coffee. As I get in my truck this lady in a similar state as you described runs up and starts hopping into passenger seat. She just about made it in before I could put my coffee down and stop her. She wanted to know wheee was heading and if I’d like some company. I let her know very directly that the last thing I wanted at that moment was a hooker that was 9 hours and 45 minutes into a 10 hour shift and to gtfo. Apparently there are some hard working girls in that profession that aren’t afraid to work a little overtime.

You can’t make a comment like this without explaining. The first time I read it I thought you had backed up and run over it again. Then I noticed that you said horses, not horse.

LOL it sounds a lot more dramatic than it was. We bought our property from some folks who hadn’t taken much care of it. Along (many) other things, we discovered that they’d been dumping their dead horses in an old dried up cattle pond (I’ve verified at least 3 different horses). Over time, scavengers have dragged the bones all over the place, and I find them with my mower.

The worst are the vertebrae: the mower fires those things out like a bullet. I came close to nailing one of my boys with one from forty feet away, so I’m much more careful where the mower is pointed now. I don’t want to end up in the ER trying to explain why my kid has a concussion from a horse’s spine.

Jimmy Hoffa

Over the years I’ve found car batteries, tires, an automatic transmission, a manual transmission, car doors from an oldsmobile, brake drums, antique cow stanchions, a pile of asbestos siding shingles, barbed wire, cinder blocks, a pile of old red clay drain tiles, fence wire, a 14’ green colored wooden boat, jimmy hoffa, a model T frame with the crossbuck springs and axles sunk in the dirt, a coal pile and a few other things.
