40plyrod Posted June 17, 2014 Report Posted June 17, 2014 (edited) I had a great Father's Day! My two girls and I got my old go-kart out of the barn a few months ago and have been working on getting it going. The old 3hp Briggs and Stratton was no good but at the last swap meet I was able to find a usable 6.5hp Briggs that needed the rewind put back together. My girls handled all the dis assembly, sanding and painting by themselves and they helped me with the drive train work. We finally finished the go-kart project we've been working on and spent father's day thrashing it around the farm yard. My oldest (12) takes a fairly cautious approach to driving it however she was always the one driving when the next weakest link was found, however my 9 year old has a completely different driving style and only took a few laps to find out that if she put her right foot down hard and cranked the wheel she could do donuts, I think I'm in trouble. I'm a pretty proud dad of their hard work and really enjoyed seeing their smiles and hearing their laughter on Sunday. I hope you dads had a good one too. Edited June 17, 2014 by 40plyrod 2 Quote
