I Just Broke My Lawnmower


Recommended Posts

so my lawn was getting pretty shaggy from the combination of the recent rainfall and my increased laziness, but i figured today it needed to be chopped down. things were going good for a while, until midway through my backyard i happened to run over a small chunk of a cinder block. not good. i hear the common "ching!" of hitting a foreign object, followed by an unfamiliar grinding/buzzing sound, oil flying everywhere, and then a shitload of white smoke starts pouring out. pretty sure i somehow blew the engine. i think i'm going to go to the hardware store and buy some duct tape and a handfull of screws (the straight edge ones, not those fancy "phillips" screws). that should fix her right up.

nothing like the sound of a bent crankshaft

I started making my 9 y/o cut the grass with me a few weeks ago. The other day I got the yard started and bent the hell out of the blade. I asked him if he prayed for me to do that. He smiled and thought the coast was clear. That is until I pulled back in the d/w with a shiney new one. He was pissed.that is all

Time for a yard man, I say.
That's your answer for everything though...
I'm a big believer in the "You can pay someone to do that" philosophy.
Either I'm reading too much into this, or you've flash a glimmer of why everyone likes you people so much. I chuckled.
