Picture 7/2: Rake Brake

July 2

(picture 183 of 365)

It's the end of an era for a well-used, trusty yard tool.

Tonight, I suffered a rake brake.

As you can see, the pole didn't brake.

The reason: metal fatigue.

We've had this rake since we lived on Colorado Drive in Decatur, making it well over 10 years old.

For now, I'll use the nice plastic rake that I got at Farm-n-Fleet a couple years back.

At some point, I'll likely have to replace this one though.

Guess I'll be watching for a used rake at rummage sales and resale stores.

Out for now......
