A couple weeks ago, I posted a picture via social media of a mower project I worked on at home. Essentially, I turned a raggedy old mower into a Purdue-themed mower to make my neighbors jealous. Unfortunately, much like the old show Pimp My Ride, the makeover was largely cosmetic and the mechanical underpinnings of the rider have continued to be a problem. However, I had intended all along to share video of the project, mainly because hey, it’s May, college football is over three months away, we just spent 90 mins talking about Purdue basketball the other night and so what else are we going to post about?

So for those interested, here’s a couple minutes on the transformation of the Craftsman mower to the Boilermower.

Happy Memorial Day Weekend, all. May your cookouts be scrumptious, your cornholes be accurate and your race-watching (and mowing) be safe.
