2 more reasons I should not have to mow

1)While navigating between some shrubbery, I underestimated the turning radius of the tractor. I ended up hitting one of the aforementioned shrubs, causing it to leave to one side. The thought crossed my mind to hit it the other way to straighten it out. I opted not to do this so as to not make matters worse. I forgot to go back and fix it when I was done with the rest of the lawn. Not 2 hours go by and both my parents tell me to go fix it. It turns out that this shrub was barely clinging to the dirt it was resting in. I must have shredded all the supporting roots.

2)As I drove around the swingset, I realized I should have moved the swing before I had started in this area. Being the genius that I am, I figured I could just kick it out of the way as a drove by. That part worked great, it was the effect of this action I neglected to calculate for. The swing came flying back and hooked under the brake pedal. All the slack was gone and I was waiting for the whole thing to start moving since I could not stop the tractor. The swing was inhibiting the use of the brake. All of a sudden the swing shot out from had been lodged and all was right again.

Although technically errors on my part, I don't think that my mowing skills should be called into question. I hate mowing and I will continue to screw things up until I will no longer be told to do it. My mom final just took notice that I mow the lawn into a zen garden like state.

voting

I have never voted, I could not be bothered. I am told I am not allowed to complain if I don't vote. Well I don't say much to begin with so that is not a problem. Anyhow, tomorrow I have to help out with the election in Cumberland County. That means that I have to work from 6 am to approximately 8:30 pm, driving around making sure bumpkins know how to finger electronic voting machines. Sounds like a hoot I know. I figure there will be a lot of time not doing anything and I have no idea what is in the area of these places to occupy my spare time.

Update: The puppy is now going by Ruby as well as One Pound of Fury. This is because if you whistle she goes into a berserker rage kind of thing where she will try to bite your face and neck but will easily settle for a toe, especailly if it is in a sock.

My sister's new puppy

Here are a few pictures of my sister's new puppy. It is only 7 weeks old and is a girl. It is a mix between chihuahua, scotty and some kind of terrier. It is fun to play with. She is very small. She kind of hops along more than runs. I laid her on my stomach and she looked at me and then put her head down and went to sleep. She likes me. It was like a puppy pile. She does not have a name yet. My mom insists it start with a 'K'. Kaylen wants something like Blackberry. I suggested that it not be a flower or candy. Kaylen has almost stepped on it already. It sleeps in a box. The End.
