Title: amecks - Jordan, N.Y.
Post by: amecks on Jan 24, 2025, 06:47 PM
  Hi all.  Great job of setting up this site.  In the past I was somewhat active on ToolTalk and only rarely posted on Garage Gazette.
  I am an equipment mechanic, working part-time now at a cemetery, keeping their digger and mowers running.
I have a 70' Dodge D100 pickup in sad shape, badly needs restoration.  Over the years I have spent a lot of time building custom on-off road bicycles and restoring British motorcycles.
  I posted my latest motorcycle in the Bikes... section below.
  Good to meet you all,
Al

welcome sir.

i serve on a cemetery board. we hire the mowing and grave digging done but have measured lots of plots as well as tree trimming and stone straightening and repair. we must be doing a good job, none of our residents complain!  :D

my parents and grandparents reside there. my dad would approve of my dark humor!

sk,  When the mechanical work is caught up I mow three "unplanted" fields (no graves!).  Somewhat large areas mowing with a 70's Ford tractor annnd rear mounted mower deck.
