My first mow of the season. It was a little more complicated than usual [View all]

I got the mower started and then had to deal with a flat front tire AND repair the blade height control lever. That was exhausting. I had no idea what to do so I just made it up as I went along. Seems to have worked.

Then I did the first mow of 2024. Since I didn't have anything ready for the trim work, I tried to mow as close as possible to trees and posts. Somehow I ended up STUCK on the curb - couldn't go forward or backward. I had to physically push the mower and move it just enough to be able to drive it on to the street and then up the driveway to get back on the lawn.

Oh, and I smashed my head in to the garage door. I thought it was open higher than it was.

I do believe that the sun is over the yard arm.
