Not judging, just 'puzzled' shall we say.
Still, way cool that a dude that age is still driving cool cars. AND building cannons!!!
Yes...it's very cool. And he does all his own mechanical repair work.
Not bad for a guy who would have died about 50 odd years ago following an accident with the PTO on that big tractor in the middle of his barn. Lloyd had gone down to clear a drain with the big pump on the back of his tractor one stormy day. He was hitching the pump to run, when the sleeve of his raincoat got snagged on the spinning PTO.....dragged him in, and his arm got mangled. Somehow, he managed to free himself....massive blood loss....and helpless from the pain, he laid there for hours before his mother came searching for him.
That is why when you see him doing simple things that he makes look difficult, you can understand why. Even lighting the match for the cannon is a challenge now.
However, he doesn't let that disability hold him back. Lloyd has done stuff that a lot of 100% able-bodied guys wouldn't tackle....like removing the tracks from the big Crawlers, repairing them and putting back. I can't even begin to imagine doing stuff like that.
So now the guy just enjoys life for as long as he can. My favourite memory will always be the day he and his wife Sheila arrived at Cliff's workshop just as I was leaving one afternoon. They pulled up in the Commodore about 5 metres short of my Red Wagon. Lloyd had a smile on his face......Cliff said send it....so I did a humongous burnout right in front of them. Smoked out the entire driveway and building....smoke drifted across the road the supermarket full of people looking out the windows, and the liquor shop next door.
When the smoke eventually faded, all I could see was Lloyd sitting in his car laughing his head off....Sheila was there just shaking her head saying something like...."You boys...I don't know"
They both loved it. It made him feel 30 years younger instantly.
Only gutted now because it wasn't caught on film.
& a cannon
