So I have two lawn tractors and I really have to say that I enjoy keeping them running. This spring my Case 442 decided to grenade it PTO so while its waiting for parts I had to pull out the old Case 108 tractor, which has such a long list of problems and issues that I really need to weld a tool box behind the seat for when I use it.
After more hours of repair and the addition of a fancy new exhaust pipe here is a clip of the first start after sitting since last year.

The culture of online memes is huge. My daily web travels cover a wide range of technical sites, DIY project sites, Some news and often something from one a web ‘aggregator’ . I am often amazed at the skills and effort people put into some of their personal projects also equally amazing is the effort put into the ‘look at me’ factor.
Which brings me to the reason for this post. Instead of posting a the latest meme or some cool project made with the latest Atmel. Its an old clip from youtube staring the Dave Brubeck band playing Take 5. Watching these musicians is fascinating. Its all craft and no flash. Pay particular attention to Joe Morello as he goes through his solo, then at 2:48 he fixes his glasses in the middle of the solo without skipping a beat. Its a simple and I am sure unconscious gesture.
Here is the clip
