Did the first lawn mow of the season today.

That's the only thing I do not like about spring and summer: yard work. I used to pay someone to do it, but decided last year I'd save the money and do it myself. I really needed to do that, too, both for my wallet and the exercise. Lord knows I'd rather just sit on the porch and drink beer, though.

Last summer was at the bar and came up with an idea for an app where you can control a vibrator anywhere in the World. you are in New York, wife is in Miami with vibrator connected to wifi and you control all settings, speeds, power on off, LOL

I have a HUGE double lot and a rider mower with a cup holder, so I'm all set. I'm thinking I'll be mowing in another week.

What ever $ You used to pay Your mower - person, each time You mow, put that amount in a stash just for YOU. Buy YourSelf sumpin purdy!

Now You have Your can holder gadget, wear Your headphones with some goood tunes, & take a mental vacation while You mow.

I emptied the gas from the snowblower, and washed it. Some of the parts were rusted through, so have replacement parts ordered.

Maybe I'll get the lawnmower out and put some gas in it.

Winter is going.

I'll be putting a new blade and changing oil and installing a air filter this weekend. Then following the handle of the mower this weekend. Now if I could just figure out how to turn the self propel mower in to a rc then I could mow in the lawn chair.
