Unusual antique riding mower I came across yesterday.

I was looking at mowers yesterday and this guy was a collector. He had this interesting small old mower. I've never seen one like it before.

The second pic is his house, BTW. When God does return this guy gets to be first in line in the 'I Told You So' department! :P

So, would you say he's evangelistic?

Yes, I think the adjective "evangelistic" is appropriate. I read the following messages on his home.

Apocalypse is near, repent.
Receive, worship Christ.
Otherwise, lake of fire.

All statements are, in my opinion, accurate and evangelistic. :P

My comment was intended to be tongue-in-cheek.

Although that's not the way I approach communication of the Word, he is correct. :wink:

You resurrected a two-month-old post, MidLife! We might need to give you the nickname, "grave digger."

Safety first. That looks to be 1960s vintage. I have one similar to the one Doc posted.
