Roger's parting gift

It takes me 8-10 hours a week to mow.

For more than 2 years I've been mowing this yard while Roger is away.  I kept tellin him "I need a zero turn mower" and he kept saying "No you don't, you aren't doing it right - stop complaining".

Guess what happens when Roger had to mow a few months this spring ... he bought a zero turn mower!


It' a bit challenging for me. It's like backing up a trailer, it's different than what my mind thinks should be happening.

It only took me all of about 7 and 1/2 minutes to get it stuck and have to call for help.

C'mon now, the old mower is now more than 3 years old, and like any mower that gets used heavily needs to be replaced periodically. I was just pacifying your desire for this type, and we can then use the tractor for towing things, since your new mower can't. I got it so I could have a chance to try it before I came back here. Kinda like the Z. This is your new sports car mower.

... right.
Nothing to do with you realizing how much work it is... right?

Play nice children......you got one hell of a lawn though. Maybe you could plant some crops on that farm of yours and then you would have no need for a mower?
