Namely, I got tires on my wheels and got them on the car:

Bonus Doggo and peek-a-boo.

Hey look, Dad’s taking a picture

Then I decided to take the lawnmower for a cruise, so I got gas, then set off:

I had to fix the steering gear on it, which meant getting it to my grandpa’s so we could machine a new one. Truck had a load of stuff in it and the van is out of commission until I fix HGs, so driving it was my only option. It’s about 4 miles out of town, which happens to take roughly 45 mins in top gear wound tight.

You could have mowed the grass on your way.

It always amazes me how much wheels can affect the look of a car. It looked good before, but looks way better now with those wheels than the old ones.

Ok, now I understand your color choice. The green looks great against the wheels.

I wonder how far I could ride a lawn mo wer without the police hassling me about it. Probably forever since I live in the woods.

IMO they finish it perfectly. I still wasn’t totally happy with the old wheels on.

If that was a beer in the cup holder and corn or cows in the field it would be a perfect “Wisconsin in one picture” photo

The cows were actually just up the road another 1/4 mile.

Won’t find a beer in my cup holder though.

I know you don’t drink, but even if I was doing this I wouldn’t risk it considering you can still get a ticket for having an open container while operating a vehicle on a public road. It just takes one county sheriff to drive past even if it’s highly unlikely.
