Opening a Tomb

When I sprayed the pond bank, I used the Mule to tote myself and the heavy sprayer there and back. The formula for spraying water is 3 ounces of 41% glyphosate plus 3 Tablespoons of Dawn per gallon of water— in case I forget. Aquatic Glyphosate is 52%. I had the 41 so figured the formula. I am responsible when I spray as glyphosate is a proven cancer causer. I was looking for a “rag” and opened the glove box of the Mule. Now, I’m wondering why it’s called a glove box. I guess workers kept gloves in it? 

Larry had interesting stuff in there. He’s been gone 5 1/2 years and it was untouched. Like opening a tomb! He had shot gun shells, matches wrapped carefully to stay dry. Tick spray. Band aids. Gauze. A huge dog lead. Toilet paper folded. More shot gun shells in a blue zipped bag. On the door it had a last service date. He passed a little over 6 moths after that date. The battery on the Mule has been replaced twice. The last time by his daughter little Red. It’s not been serviced. I’ll just drive it ‘til it dies and replace it I’ve decided. Life is hard and then you die— was one of his sayings. About his favorite was poor man has poor ways.
