My working bump
Here are pics of my 1970 F350 at work. I mow the grass at the Piper family plot at a local cemetery. Bill Piper, Sr was the founder of Piper Aircraft, famous for the yello J3 Piper Cub. Bill, Jr.'s widow wanted the plot fixed up as this week was the annual Fly In for Piper planes of all makes and alot of Piper fans come to his mausoleum. They come to take pics sort of like a pilgrimage.
So I hauled (and shoveled) 3 1/3 yards of mulch to beautify the area. I paused to take these first two pics when I was half done.

Tomorrow a neighbor wants 2 yards of mulch, but all I have to do is dump it in his driveway! To keep the wife happy, the old truck has to earn its keep!
