Taming the Wild Beast

Well there is no time like the present......it's time to take the bull by the horns....you know all those old wise sayings that my father used to say.   Well I did it.   I tackled the beast.  Well, it does seem that the key is a little finicky and doesn't always fit right.   Once I got that figured out I was good to go.

So once I got it started I mowed a little in the back yard and front just to get the feel of it.   Of course that's after it took me 10 minutes to back it out of the garage......hey, I was being cautious.

It really isn't hard once you get the hang of it.    There was only one tragedy.....I couldn't help it, it just right out in front of me.

Poor broom.....I knew him well.

Seems Stan threw it out of the truck yesterday when were working on the back fence.  I didn't realize it until it was too late :)  

So all I can say is come on grass growing season, I'm ready to tackle you now.
