After my father nearly amputated a toe with a lawn mower, I have had a lot of respect for them. I used them when I had to, but mine hasn't moved in 25 years since I got a ride on. I should put the thing at the side of the road.

I can move my toes and foot down, but not up. not obvious in the photo but that's the same leg almost removed by a lawnmower incident. 12-16" scar on thigh and skin grafting scar on front. also fractured that ankle 3 places, hit a concrete boundry marker with my shin at about 30mph which left a couple other tattoos, cut my heel off on broken glass... broken toes.. etc etc etc. lucky me though. I got the stab wound under the knee cap on the other leg just so the other leg wouldn't feel left out.

I wonder what Johnco is doing these days. I think the last thing that I remember was that he was fighting cancer that made it difficult for him to eat/swallow. Hopefully, he's still around.
