I was mowing with the family's shitty lawnmower that takes basically ten minutes to get it going and will slow to a halt if the grass is too thick.

I accidentally banged the top part fairly hard against the meter on the side of the house.  No visible damage.

The lawnmower now starts up in seconds and cuts through thick grass fairly well.

I accidentally fixed the lawnmower.  With percussive maintenance.

Truly, I am the Jesus of technology.

Went to an awesome concert last night.  I took almost 80 pics and am currently trying to figure out a fast way to get them all on to my computer since my cloud app I have you can only upload one at a time.

My mower can be the same, but no amount of whacking will fix it. The problem is that the grass (especially wet grass; it needs to be almost dry enough to be a fire hazard to prevent this) tends to build up on the bottom of the mower, especially around the ejection chute, and it'll very rapidly clog up the blades.

Apparently a way to mitigate the problem is to adjust the mower so it sits higher on its wheels.
Still can't think of a signature a year later.

Reminds me of my old Xbox. Back during a hurricane, we moved it from my room. My father dropped it and it broke. I punched it and fixed it. Lawnmower-wise, it broke and we MacGyvered a solution that has improved it, because now you can go in reverse without turning the key (riding mower) and it doesn't turn off if you get up.

You have a riding mower?

Lucky.  Not that it would help us all that much.

Riding lawnmovers make it kinda fun.

My lawn is far too big for a push mower.

Our lawn is too small for a riding lawnmower to be honest.

Doesn't stop our neighbor with an even smaller yard from using the riding lawnmower and also mowing into our yard and actually destroying our grass.

Seriously I've mowed the property line like... twenty times, and each time he ignores it and mows his own way.

The funny thing is, the way he's mowing, he's actually screwing himself out of valuable back yard space.

We want to save our yard, not destroy it.

We're hoping that putting in trees or bushes along the property line will help.

Unfortunately, one thing we've figured out is that he has connections.  He consistently parks in front of the fire hydrant, we've even seen officials go through (including one time it was inconvenient when they were emptying and filling the fire hydrant for reasons I don't fully understand) and the guy has never received a ticket for it.  So he's got some connections in the police force.

He and all of his friends also drive huge trucks and he tends to find any excuse to hang a flag in his front porch, so I'm guessing he's a highly conservative redneck.

A lawsuit, most likely.
