I may be a redneck...

[Ysabel Kid]

You may be a redneck if...

Your 25 year old leaf blower is held together by three different colors of duct tape!



First repair to the handle, using red duct tape:


Second repair, where the cord enters the unit, using black tape (okay, electrician's, not duct tape):


And finally, true gray classic duct tape to fix the tune!


Mrs. YK thinks I'm being cheap. I just figure that the more I save on some things, the more I get to spend on others - like things with levers!

Kid, you be no cheap and you be no redneck...........you be thrifty! (ebonics)

A redneck would be using the leaf blower IN the house.------------Sixgun

Guess I am a thrifty redneck then! But don't tell Mrs. YK. She still hasn't figured out how I dust so fast!

A redneck doesn't own a leaf blower or a leaf rake.
Leaves are supposed to fall on the ground.

A Redneck can dry his truck, or motorcycle after washing with the leaf blower

How do we know it's your leaf blower, where's the slippers???

Blaine,
No lie--------------Several times a year when its time to clean out "'Ole Yeller", my daily driver 1989 Jeep, I pop the doors off and yes, I fire up the leaf blower and give her the works.

Everything, including owners cards, dead bugs, 3 month old newspapers, empty .223 cases, etc. goes flying out. I pick up the necessary stuff and blow the rest of the trash over to my neighbors.

[Pete44ru]

Hmmmmmm - So, that's a leaf blower, huh ?

It looks more like my Green-eyed Monster's hair dryer....................

Never had a leaf blower, since we live in the 'country' - we'd never run out of leaves to re-arrange.

Good repair jobs though, but I'd have gone back to the black tape on the spout, or if I had to use grey, I'd have probably candy-caned it or something silly.

After reading the other 'redneck' uses, maybe I'll get a used one sometime if I find one cheap!

[mikld]

Repairs? I think it's just color co-ordinated. A couple of y'all have noted things I use my leaf blower for; cleaning out my truck and "air sweeping" my reloading/play shed...

y'all missed my favorite use,

parked next to a burn pile on low, looks like a forge, sounds like a jet engine.

A redneck with colored duct tape?

[geobru]

A redneck with colored duct tape?

Yup. Baling wire only comes in one color.

that's a great idea for my Jeep too...i like the part of sending the unwanted debris to one's neighbors, i'm sure they appreciate the extra mulch...not only can a leaf blower clean a vehicle, but it can be deployed in an act of charity....like it... :)

Can't wait till us Canuck Homestead Hillbillys gets electrisity, looks darn handy. You rich Yank Rednecks sure are lucky.

When armageddon comes,the only ones left that will survive(are the rednecks)-----the smart ones!


Redneck(getting real)-----Poem Of The Hills!

Yes, we are redneck proud
Sing it clear and sing it loud
Be living in an old cabin, not some fancy lodge
Keep your new Lincoln,I'll keep my old Dodge
But when tough times come a callin,disorder all around
With you only lookin for help, but me taken high ground
The now starved snobs,no fight in em and only left to pray
But the good ol' rednecks=============think it's no big deal (just another day!

Funny.....I do this all the time before taking the towel to my vehicles for the final dry.

[WinM71]

Need at least one more color of "duck" tape, AND a bit of Gorilla Tape before you really qualify for RN designation on this one.
