A few weeks ago, I was mowing the lawn with my riding lawnmower. I stopped to empty the grass. When I went to go, it wouldn't move. I thought that my 22 year old lawnmower had finally given up the ghost and the transmission had broken. We weren't quite sure what to do. We were busy for several weeks, (Canada trip & Boise trip) and didn't do anything about it.The first time we cut the grass with our old push lawnmower that Janice's boss had given us, was when we got home from Canada. Adam was supposed to have cut it while we were gone, but he hurt his knee playing softball (I think he also forgot). It was really long. Janice cut most of it the first time.
The next time, I started cutting it and made it 3/4 of the way through and Janice finished it. I decided that it would definitely be worth taking the lawnmower in to the repair shop to see if it could be fixed.
The last time we cut it, it was really hot, but I did the whole thing, wondering the whole time if I was going to survive the summer cutting it by hand.
Anyway, on Thursday, we received a call from the repair shop saying that the belt had slipped off the pulley because the belt was damaged. They replaced the belt for $65 and I picked it up on Saturday.
I am one happy grass cutterer!!

Cutterer? :) Well I bet your grass wasn't as long as our field here. They finally did get a professional to come trim it up. It's amazing how crappy the "field" was making the complex look. It's so much nicer now.
I didnt forget I could barely walk..lol
