High Lawn

Momoko's dad has the neighbor mow his lawn. But he only mows the front. The back lawn was over a foot high. Momoko's dad has a lawn mower. So, I decided to cut the back grass. I had to disconnect the power cord from the mover to move it out of the garage. Then I could not start the thing.

I was pulling the rope that normally starts lawn mowers. Momoko's dad explained that I needed to hold down a bar handle, and then press the electric start. I was off to the races. Mowing was a slow process. It took a while for the mower to move over the tallest grass. If I moved too fast, the mower would stall.

I also encountered some problems with sticks being on the ground under the grass. That would mess up the mower. I ran out of gas less than half way through. Luckily there was a 5 gallon can full of gas. I could not figure how to get the spout of the gas can working. I just skipped it and poured the gas right out of the can directly into the mower.

The grass so crazy that I had to mow over certain spots multiple times to ensure the grass got cut. Afterwards, I put everything away. Then I used a grabber to pick up sticks. They were hard to pull out of the weeds. I tossed them into the huge garbage can. I barely made a dent on the sticks though. Somebody must have cut a lot of stuff down and just tossed them on the ground. Fail.
