“Clyde” is a workhorse. He’s an EZGo Workhorse, to be exact, a macho little 4-wheeler with a dump bed, and the second-best thing to have on a rural ex-farm residence. The absolute best has to be “Bonnie Blue”, an old powerhouse of a tractor. She has done everything from mowing fields to moving a massive stump back into the woods. Patrick loves her. She makes me slightly nervous.
Patrick and Bonnie were bush-hogging the undergrowth along the edge of the woods one day. A bush-hog is a mower on steroids that shreds anything smaller than your arm. All of a sudden there were some very strange noises audible above the sounds of Bonnie and the bush-hog attachment. There was Bonnie, slowly chugging down towards the barn, without Patrick on board. He was running circles around Bonnie, waving his cowboy hat around wildly while yipping in pain. He had backed the bush-hog up against a small tree that had a football-sized paper wasp nest in its branches. The wasps inside were highly annoyed at being disturbed, and made a “bee” line after Patrick and Bonnie. Bonnie was impervious to their stings, but not so, Patrick. The wasps nailed him 17 times. We spent the rest of the day in the ER waiting to see if (highly allergic to just about everything) Patrick was going to react to bug venom.
My apologies for misleading those of you who have read this because you wondered what the heckers the notorious original Bonnie and Clyde had to do with a member of the slightly less notorious band of Kinneys.
