Blazing yule logs, what is going on here? Fresh back to planet Earth, we see that not all things can ever be perfect. That’s right, that’s not a guitar, it’s a lawn mower, also known as George.
Not being in harmony with the other tools in the shed, this mega-sensitive lawn mower refused to call it quits at the beginning of this early winter season back this past November. Indeed it had yet to complete the mowing of this fenced-in portion of our yard at that time. Amazingly, I received a letter from the Lawn Tool Civil Liberties Union, or LTCLU, and their attorney that I was not to store away said lawn mower until it got the chance to take one last whack at the grass it had not yet cut. And to think the paperwork specified that I was to keep it running with a full tank of gas. Yeah right, the nerve of the AI of things today. And so it froze to the ground. Now, here it is 3 months later on February 25th, and the stubbornness of this contraption lingers under the snow awaiting for the moment the spring thaw arrives and its wheels become unfrozen from the ground. But ya know that could be April or so around here. It does have a full tank of gas, but it sputtered out one night long ago. I drew the line at restarting it, again.
Oh, seeing that this thing is about 6 years old, I don’t believe it will recall what it was working on before the cold and snow hit. I’m gonna have to repeat myself, like I so often did with my kids when they were that age. Come to think of it, that really never stops, even in their twenties.
In a few months we’ll see how things mend with the other members of the group in the shed. Mr lawn mower might have to improve up on his performance and mature into the lead role on his own ideas. Sometimes playing the right chord is the key to success, and having outside help from friends like Eric, can muster enough motivation to create a long lasting impression. Indeed.
I’m not exactly sure where that last thought came from, but until then, this lawn mower will be mowing your strawberry fields forever. And don’t forget the rodents.
