Be careful!
Doesn't it frost you when wifie says, "Be careful" as you head out the door? :rolleyes: Mine said that as I was going to cut the grass today. I replied, very cleverly, I thought, "Nah. I don't feel like being careful today. I'm going to do something reckless and stupid, like slide the lawnmower down the back of the dam." Showed her, didn't I? :p
When I came in a few minutes ago, she asked why I was so long after dark getting back to the house. I, of course, told her that cutting in the dark was the reason the mower has headlights and that it's much nicer to cut when it�s cool.
Funny, I forgot to mention that I got jest a leeetle too close to the back berm edge, and the mower started sliding off when it moved.
The more I tried to back out, the more the #@*!! thing slid ever so slightly toward the pit of perdition. To make matters worse, I put on the parking brake when I eased myself off the thing, and it stuck so that I couldn't get it off without pushing the dagnab machine even further off the edge when I returned with the 4-wheeler and chain after an invigorating walk. So, the 4-wheeler only spun in place, and the mower slid just a little further over. Took my big green pal, Mr. Deere, to do the job, and once the strain was off, the parking brake released easily.
I know I should have admitted it to her. Any decent person would. But, I feel better now, less guilty, cause I�ve told you, and you won�t be around to remind me for the next ten years of how stupid I was this time. Telling you is just as good, isn't it?
Well, isn't it???
