Doing Mow Harm than Good

Finally mowed the lawn at my new house and I forgot how relaxing and mesmerizing it can be. It’s like tending to a zen garden with motorized blades of death.
Bug Martini
Random nonsense three days a week
Our mower has a rechargeable battery, but somehow my husband has managed not to amputate anything of anybody’s… yet. Oh, and he drives a Prius.
Obviously the exception that proves the rule! 🙂
Not to be nitpicking, but Prius is not a manufacturer, Toyota is. And Toyota actually manufactured lawn mowers
Hehehe! A friend has an electric mower powered by a cord. He mows the lawn, and he starts coiling up the cord, when he hits a bare spot that was chopped by the mower. Gets the crap zapped out of him.
He’s telling his brother about this experience, who then says “oh yeah I remember running over that cord”
Beatings ensued.
You Americans are so easily shocked.

Girl bug is so used to wacky nonsense she doesn’t even flinch at being dismembered. She needs a vacation.
Also finish your book.
Best adult education I ever took was a small engine repair class at the local community college. I’m amazed how many times that’s come in handy with balky lawn mowers. Toro makes the best mowers.
Oh Adam, you think that mowing lawns is Zen like? Wait until you have to shovel the driveway in the middle of a raging blizzard. You’ll be at peace with the world as your limbs slowly freeze up and go numb.
In the last panel, I thought it said ‘made *by* prius’. (-:

Disregard….
I made a electric whipper snipper for a primary school science project. I am not sure what I actually proved other than a young age understanding of DC current and how little fingers get sliced up badly by wildly spinning wire.
wait…would it really be the fumes talking? I can see how they would cause *things* to happen,but your not under the effects at the time of writing this are you?
…what am I talking about? this is adam we are talking about…OF COURSE hes writing/drawing next to a RUNNING MOWER….

I’m surprised the wife and neighbors haven’t all chipped in to get the rumba equivalent in lawn mowers.
I actually did hurt my foot because the mower was crappy and I accidentally walked into it while mowing.
My foot wasn’t super injured, thankfully, and it got better.
I’ve never known a non-gasoline mower to be particularly quiet. Sure, you miss the explosions, but even our push mower made a reasonable racket with the blades.
