Lawnmower Woes---

Yeah, it's STILL all about ME! I failed to mention that the reason I wasn't mowing the yards was because I do not own a working lawnmower. I would have one [but I don't] except Bryon does not know his own strength. This occurred LAST season. Bryon offered to mow my yards. [Bless him] He, however, failed to note that I was still using Thad's mower. It would have been about 13 years-old at that point. It was a bit 'testy' so it took awhile to start. Bryon was sure if he pulled the string a 'bit' harder it would start. Not so, but the string WILL break. [consider that a warning] So I couldn't use THAT mower. The one Heidi and Gabe gave me has been 'flakey' from day one. When Dennis tried to get it going this year, it said, 'No Way.' So here I was with a yard of 2 feet high weeds and no mower. You already know how the yard got cleared. What you don't know is that I have a box in the sitting room containing a 'brand new' lawnmower courtesy of Dennis Priest. He decided that in order to at least 'maintain' the yard,[no chance of improving it, this year] I needed better equipment. How sweet is that. [Almost, makes me wish I gotten him a birthday present] I don't give Dennis gifts, but that's a whole 'nuther story.
Much love to all
