A mowing ordeal

I agreed to mow for my dad, but WOW!

The easy part, I put on a bandanna, wore my sunglasses, put on a mask, and ear protection. Then, I mowed the driveway area.

However, the next task was the lagoon area. Which, he had casually mentioned also needed to be mowed, but the hill would require the blade raised to it's highest setting. After, the STEEP hill, I figured the area around the lagoon wouldn't be that bad.

Then, halfway around the lagoon, trouble. Now, before I forget, the lagoon itself is surround by a fence, and therefore, no danger of waste matter.

The ground was loosely held together on the Southeastern edge of the lagoon, and the lawnmower lost traction. Then slide off into the non-mowed area, and wouldn't budge.

I had to go get the four-wheeler, and the tow straps from my car. While I did arrive at noon, and get inside to shower about one, I know the majority of the time was spent getting the lawnmower unstuck by myself. I had to hop from 4-wheeler to lawnmower, and back, moving slightly forward each time. Towards the end I used a bungee cord to keep the lawnmower wheels slowly turning forward to help move it easier.

I was very glad to get inside, drink some water, and shower. Since I ended up being out during the most direct sunlight of the day in at least 91 degree heat out here.

Whew! Now, just another hour or so, and my dad will be home, and off to Texas we go. So, it looks like review post 1,500 will have to wait until I return, or if I get free time down there I am taking the laptop with me.
