Farm cleaned, golf cart fixed – and painted

We rented one of those huge 40-foot long dumpsters to clean up around the farm. It has only been here week and it is almost full.

Jenifer has been walking a lot to the barn and to tend to the pigs because her golf cart was not working.

We finally figured out that the terminals on the multiple batteries were corroded and after she cleaned them up with baking soda and vinegar, the golf cart ran fine.

When I got home from work, the golf cart had been painted blue with a sunshine motif on the front. I at first thought it was the work of Levi but Jenifer took all the credit.

I am not one to judge, but it looked like a bad tab of late 70s acid was involved. Ken Keasy style.
