And that’s our lesson for today
It’s a beautiful day in the neighbourhood. Lawns are getting their trim, kids are renewing their relationship with their bicycles, son #2 is off to school (next year’s model) with Mom, and I’m inspired… enough to take the electric lawnmower apart, clean out the accumulated grass from the motor, check the brushes in said motor (it looks good to me) and fit on a new blade. First one in almost two decades. Put in on upside-down, inside-out on the first pass, but since the tools aren’t yet put away, the fix was easy. What inspired all this effort? Well, son #1 offered to push the beast around the crop area.
It’s now later in the day. Darkness has fallen, and son #1 has begun to push the beast around the crop area, in stealth mode. If you can’t see him, you can’t blame him for the noise, right?
It’s now the end of the day, and all is quiet. The pool filter no longer is working, because the beast ate the power cord. Normally, we could see such accidents before they happen, but in the dark, in stealth mode, s*it happens. And that’s our lesson for today
