An inventive helpful dog building a bridge.



I had to invent something new for my weed mowers, the climate has changed, it's no longer the way it was. The last two days I've been busing designing and equipping my mowers with a fire suppression system before I start mowing the tall weeds again.

To switch from mowing weeds in the tall dry grass, to fighting a fire for a few moments before abandoning the mower and running I now have a fire extinguisher bolted to the handle bar, with a tube leading down and through the mower deck such that it blows the white powder under the mower, traps that CO2 and holds it there until the mower is moved again.

One using it will shut off the engine and then push the mower over the grass on fire and trigger a small puff of the white powder and keep moving, puff, moving, puff ... . But when one runs out of the white power, then one abandons the mower and runs for their life. - Calls in the fire on the phone. - That would be a really bad bad day.

Two days ago I almost had that bad day. There was a smoldering spot, almost ready to flair up into a monster, I smelled it, saw it, stomped it out with my feet. Got real lucky, but now I have used that luck up.

So I had to do something more than just trusting on good luck and happy feet.

Get some snowshoes, cover them with asbestos tarp and go to town!
