I believe that every man should conribute to the keeping up of the house hold needs. Part of that responsibility is mowing the yard.
I must admit that in the past I have not been on the most regular schedule on maintaining my yard but I am resolved this season so I can keep our nest looking beautiful. I read a book called Every Woman's Desire in the book the author states that the home is the woman's nest, and we as men should do our utmost to strive to make it a home she can be proud of.
To help myself keep this resolution I bought a new lawn mower. My old didn't work right so I sold it prior to moving. This year I bought a riding lawn mower and broke it in this week. Now I am used to using a push mower in 100 deg heat in Texas. It is going to take some getting used to since I now have to ride the mower in 50 deg heat. For some reason I don't think Missy belived me when I came in and stated how worn out I was. I wonder why....
I did learn some important lessons from my new experience with the riding lawn mower:
- Don't put it in reverse while the blade is down. The mower doesn't like that.
- Go straight up and down the hills. If you are leaning sideways to keep the mower upright, there is a good chance it could end bad.
- Drink down your beverage of choice down at least a third if it has the ability to fizz. It does experience some vibration in the cup holder.
I hope this help the other men in becoming Mister Right.

Nice wheels! I think Corry's nest would look much better with '56 Stingray parked in front. I'll get right on it! Thanks so much for the tip! ;-)
I see you located my spy-cam photos! Even though my photos show this is not quite as much work as it used to be, I appreciate the efforts to beautify our nest. Now if you can find a machine that hangs pictures, sands & stains furniture, installs curtains and the like, I say buy it!
Missy,
You can do those things just ask for help at HD they will get you set up with all you need and they have the Credit cards to help pay for it. While you're there go for paint and stuff too. Don't forget the kitchen!
(That gets my man moving ;-} )
Reading your post made me (sort of) miss my red Snapper rider that I sold when we moved 4 years ago. I used to mow an acre or so - now the homes association mows it for me ... I think that I like this better ... especially when it rains a lot :)
Happy mowing!! Bob
I was thinking about putting a white number 8 on it...
I got a number 8 sticker for father's day. I stuck it on and have been speeding around the yard.
