OT: Just for a laugh...

I was looking for an antique reel-type push mower for my front yard. Found this. Had to share it. You have to read the whole thing, the mention of how the seller came to possess this item is hilarious and probably true.

Best Regards,

Bill Mattocks

One of a kind redneck power mower

Bill, I call dibs on taking the pics of your using that thing!!!

Yeah, you guys laugh, but the only thing stopping me from bidding is the shipping charge! Ann-Marie laughed and said she'd like to see me on it as well. But with my postage-stamp sized yard, I doubt I'd be able to get up to speed!

If you want to be really old-fashioned, you could always use a scythe to mow your yard. As a bonus, you can dress up as the grim reaper for Halloween.

I'd be a mighty lumpy Grim Reaper - isn't he supposed to be thin?

LOL!

Oh the tale that would be told on your blog.

The good news is Bill that you can still buy those rotary mowers new. If you can't find one at a local tag sale new may be the best option over ebay due to the shipping costs.

Well, just goes to prove that I haven't seen everything after all.

With the size of your lawn, Bill, you might as well get a goat. Much more economical and it was drive the Dogs of Apoclypse nuts. 😀
