Changes outside keep things busy at May Repair

SPRING GROVE – The snow is piled up about eight inches outside, so here’s Lenny May with a shop full of work, tinkering on this or that like he always has.

Today, right now, it’s a snowmobile – a black-and-yellow Polaris with a banged up left ski. Later it will be a snowblower or an ATV.

“It goes from nothing to swamped in a matter of a couple of days,” said May, looking up momentarily from work on the snowmobile, whose owner collided with a fellow rider a few days ago.
