So I thought I’d help my husband out and mow the lawn with the riding mower because he’s been busy. Â Last time he mentioned how he mows really close to things so the weed whacking is easier. Â So I thought I’d give that a try… Â Well I ended up trying to fit in between two electrical boxes (I don’t know what they are!) and it didn’t quite work out. Â I should have probably slowed down when I tried too, but I didn’t! Â I tried to do what I’d do in life when I hit a road block, forget out it and move on. Â But there was this noise and the lawn wasn’t being cut anymore. Â So my helpfulness of mowing the lawn didn’t turn out being so helpful, lol! Â That’s my big Friday Fail this week. Â Thankfully Jeremy got the lawn mower up and running again and it didn’t take too long. Â Maybe if you don’t like mowing, you could try pulling off something like that and your spouse will insist that they mow! Â :)
