My grandson Gage asked me if I could make him a gocart. Well, I could, but I knew where there was one. My brother bought one new for his kids, when they out grew it he gave it to me for my kids. When they out grew it I gave it to my cousin. Now his kids have out grown it so it came back to me for my grandkids. Gage went with me to get it, about 280 miles each way. Lol. Yeah I know, could likely have bought a replacement cheaper than the gas to get it but it was a chance to visit relatives and spend time with Gage. We left at 05:too early. Lol. First stop was for some road fuel, I told Gage I was getting coffee and a doughnut and asked if he wanted one too. He said yes. When I turned around this was what I saw. Lol! I asked if he was sure, he said he was doin whatever I did. I did tell him I like a little hot chocolate in mine, except in Oh., so I made sure his was mostly hot chocolate.
We did have some snacks on the way.
This pulled in next to us at the gas stop. Gage said it was super awesome.
We did maintain a healthy, low fat life style on our trip.
We got up thereabout 10:30 in the morning. My cousin took us to it right away. It had sat for several years, but a little gas and she started on the second pull. It's hard to tell from his face how he felt about it.
We let him run one tank of gas through it, didn't take long since it was running out the bottom of the carb faster than it burned it. Then we hung around and visited with my cousin Joel, my aunt Elva, anf Joel's youngest Natalie, my god daughter.
We left about 3 in the afternoon. Gage said he wasn't tired, but we hadn't made it off the gravel road yet when I took this pic.
The engine is totally shot, but then I wouldn't want to guess how many hours it has on it. Tomorrow I'll pick up a new engine and put that on. I posted a short video of him on it.
I really enjoyed this trip. We did discuss Joel's case dc project he is working on, so tractors were involved.

Today's Featured Article - Listening to Your Tractor - by Curtis Von Fange. Years ago there was a TV show about a talking car. Unless you are from another planet, physically or otherwise, I don’t think our internal combustion buddies will talk and tell us their problems. But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
