    My boy is a agricultural student at UD and his fraternity does an annual lawnmower tuneup event. they power wash the mowers, sharpen blades, change the plugs and oil to raise money for their chapter of Alpha Gamma Rho (AGR).

    I’m sure most of you guys who live up this way are fully capable of tuning up your own mowers. However if you have friends or family in the area maybe post a link on FB if you are so inclined. https://www.udel.edu/udaily/2019/march/lawn-mower-tuneup/

    They usually do about 400 mowers but he called me and asked to borrow some tools and explained that they may have 500-600 this year. So I stopped by after work and after seeing these guys working their asses off last night in the rain, and decided to stick around and lend a hand. It’s nice to see not all college students are snowflakes. They got 200 done last night. This old man did 27 and represented the MDS geriatric generation very well.

    Looks like they are at the 400 mark but the’ll fall a little bit short of the 500 mower goal this year.

    That's excellent!

    Kinda like the lawn mower version of the Chrysler plant, back in the day...
    :)

    Are they on the South side of campus, back behind the ice rink?

    They purchased the supplies at the Pep Boys i work for. I was there the day they picked it up.


    I think one of the guys in the fraternity works there. They said they spent about $2800 on oil, plugs and miscellaneous supplies.

    I believe you are correct. Hopefully he was able to use his employee discount. Perhaps next year they can convince the company to donate some or all.
