CHAPTER FOUR: MOWER FOR SALE... I will pay you to take it!!!

So what did I do all last year? What great thing needs to be done each week that should be fun but instead was hell on earth? What grows and by use of this supposed machine make your life easier?

That is right, the mower. I got this %#$@#^$ from someone who shall remain nameless, and was told that it was the "Top of the line blah, blah,... mower" Commercial grade blah, blah and so on. It does all this cool stuff like make coffee, plays music and gives you a back rub as you walk behind it in a lap of air conditioned comfort. Only one problem... it won't start.

Yeah... it was free... one guess why. The thing will go over and over and nothing. Last year it decided to start maybe half the time and the other half I had to borrow or have some guy mow my lawn and what I paid him all year I could have bought a brand new REAL mower that would at least start! Yeah... I got it out this year... same thing different year.

I think I shall sell the thing for 20 bucks or put free on it and dump it out on the freeway. I hear a craftsman are good and I had a cheap junk one before and guess what? It started every time.

It matters little what the thing is worth if it will not start. And yeah I did the check the filter thing and the spark plug thing and the... the... the... the... yes. I want a mower that runs not one I have to pet and babysit just for it to do its job. You feel me?

So if you have a Honda like me and the beautiful thing is crap... well walk with me down to Wal-Mart and we will get a good mower. Honda, stick to making cars... you do a much better job!

  1. Hey...
    Having this mower...
    gave you something to write about.
    I myself use the kind you don't have to start...
    I guess you call them "green"...
    with no motor, just blades.
    We have 2 right now...
    guess we will have contests...
    in our little back yard...
    Love ya,
    Mrs. S.
    P.S. Gave me something to laugh about...
    I do feel your pain.

  2. Well, if it's any consolation, at least it's your mower that won't start and not your car! :-)

  3. One of the mowers I have is a craftsman...
    but by the time I could get it to you...
    your lawn would really be "out of control"
    Maybe get an animal to come & "mow"...
    that way it could fertilize it too.
    Take care.
    Mrs.S.
