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.
