::curls up and dies::
Jul. 11th, 2008 07:09 pmI don't generally mind mowing the lawn. Or I didn't until this afternoon. Problems with today:
1) I started mowing this morning. The lawnmower decided to hate me and break down when I was a quarter done with the front lawn. It wouldn't start up again. It wouldn't even let me pull the cord out all the way to try. So, fine, I put it away to tell my dad when he got home.
2) (Not actually a problem, just the next step in the experience) Dad fixed the lawnmower, and I got started again.
3) I had to refill the fuel tank three times on the rest of the front lawn. After each time, it took me at least three tries to get the fucking motor going again.
4) I move to the backyard. (Like #2, not really a problem)
5) Repeat #3.
6) One of those times I actually had to pull the fucking cord like ten times before it started.
7) My dad came out twice while I was working on the backyard to tell me exactly how I was Doing It Wrong.
8) It's really hot.
9) It's really humid.
10) I haven't eaten all day.
