Lawn Mower Man

| | Comments (9)

Even though we only have about a 1/2 acre of lawn which we've dutifully mowed with a push mower for the last two years, Jeff has from day one dreamed of a riding lawn mower. I've mowed enough grass in my childhood to know our little place doesn't really warrant a riding mower but with the upcoming wood-splitting weekends where we need to haul wood around, we finally decided that we could get multiple uses out of a riding mower with a hitch and trailer so last night we stopped off at Sears for their end of the season sales and on Saturday when I get back from Orlando, this will be waiting for me. Right now, we're arguing over the name. Jeff thinks we should call it ‘Dundelay’ but since that's what I named the pig hanging on our bathroom wall, I'm leaning towards some kind of Finnish/Swedish Olympic Female gold-medalist name like 'Greta'. Discuss.

1/2 acre? You big pussy. Riding mowers will make you ass huge, just so you know.

That's why I'm on the Atkins, smartass. Besides, all that wood-chopping will combat the ass-spread from not push mowing a 1/2 acre.

Jeff said:

Name? It's obvious -- Big Red.

Looks like a Christine to me.

OK....so it looks like you and jeff will be starting a landscaping business, so make sure to wear eye and testicle protection when riding that red horse. (mmmmm, CHAPS and SPURS too!)

It has a 48 inch WHAT???? Oh...nevermind.

How masculine! I bought my first chain saw yesterday. Now I have to buy some flannel.

I think you should call it Hot Dog.

For what it's worth, I have this 'beast.' My parents took pity on me trying to mow about 2.5 acres with a push mower. While the exercise enhanced my options in the 'husband hunt'...it became a tad more time consuming than I appreciate.

Works like a charm...now if you could recommend a snow blower for my 300' driveway. Not convinced I want that add-on, rather than a walk behind....decisions decisions...

OH...as for names....I'm sure you boys have named 'it' already....in Olympic spirit...name her Picabo....not that I'd encourage trying the Super G on such a contraption.
