Charlie Hustle
By John Kerr
Charlie Hustle died last week. The story has it that Mickey Mantle supposedly gave Pete Rose his famous "Charlie Hustle" nickname after watching the youngster in a spring training game, probably after seeing Rose sprint to first base following a walk. He did not mean it as a compliment.
Pete Rose was a switch hitter and is MLB's all-time leader in hits (4,256), games played (3,562), at-bats (14,053), singles (3,215) and outs (10,328). He won three World Series championships, three batting titles, one Most Valuable Player Award, two Gold Glove Awards, and the Rookie of the Year Award.
Charlie Hustle bet on baseball games he was involved in. This carries a penalty of permanent ineligibility from the hall of fame. I thought about Moses. He was barred from entering the promised land. Of course there are many differences. The one that comes to mind today is that Moses was banned for life. Pete Rose is banned permanently.
By the grace of God, Moses is with our Savior eternally. They spoke to each other on the mount of transfiguration. Major League Baseball apparently does not extend the grace that God does.
John 1:16From the fullness of his grace we have all received one blessing after another. 17For the law was given through Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus Christ. 18No one has ever seen God, but God the One and Only, who is at the Father’s side, has made him known.

Kerry's Kar Tips
A weekly auto tip from our resident expert!
Lawn mowing season is coming to an end. What do you do to prep your lawn mower for storage? Here is an easy guide for the do-it-yourself.
A. Clean the mower deck underneath & coat it with oil or even cooking oil.
B. Remove the mower blades & sharpen & coat them with oil.
C. Fill the gas tank with ethanol-free gasoline and add your Amsoil gas stabilizer for long-term storage. I have disconnected the gas line from the motor and ran the engine till it stopped. The other school of thought is to run the engine to be sure there is stabilizer in the carburetor. Both seem to work.
D. Regular maintenance is key to a long-lasting mower. Check the spark plug/s and air filter, and replace them as needed. I also recommend draining the oil and replacing the oil filter if your mower has one. This ensures that your mower is in top condition when you bring it out of storage.
E. Check and inflate tires as needed. Look over for missing, loose, or broken parts and inspect belts.
F. When storing, it does not hurt to cover the mower as long as air can circulate. I typically don't.
G. Rodents can be a problem; take measures to protect your equipment.
H. Remember to remove the battery and store it inside. It is also a good idea to charge the battery during the winter months.
