IMG_2435 Wilmer-ed it ...

To wilmer something, is a term, my hubby's father (wilmer) used to find something,
that was of no value to someone and then to save it for further use.

Yesterday, hubby wilmer-ed this craftman's sweeper along the road he saw while delivering a tractor.
Free.
So he took it home and it is like brand new, with a few bolts missing to replace,
it runs fine and nothing really wrong with it.

Testing today.

What a great tradition Wilmer passed on...in this era of the throw away society it's nice to see the act of fixing up and repairing is still about. Good job Mark...and you too Sue Anne

To Wilmer sounds like a great term. I like the crispness of all your shots.
