I met a "special neighbor" This last show.
He was dressed in an ill fitting, dingy, lime green and (formerly) white racing outfit. (at a tractor swap meet!) that he dutifully wore both days of the show. We're talking boots, pants, jacket, hat, & gloves. To finish off the "feel" he had to drive around a quad runner from space to space, looking for inexpensive treasures. If he found a good buy, he would drag it behind his quad to his space, with a pleased smile, usually gouging one side of the road with his missing wheeled contraption. The problem? Well, the quad runner was sized for about an 8 year old. His knees was almost under his chin as he graced our presence with his ensamble and annoying machine. He's tear across the grassy area, roads, dirt, etc. to show off. It started to be a nightmare when he'd race near where my 2 year old was playing on the grass with her brothers. I woud hear his hyped up mini chainsaw comming and I would have to stop what I was doing to make sure he didn't mow her over. I am glad THAT show is over.
