K, so I helped TTGF get the rest of her things from her ex's house last nite and he had one of those giant roll off dumpsters pulled into his driveway to throw all his schit away (spring cleaning), well I walk by and there's a lawn mower laying upside down in there. Now my lawn mower is a complete POS, and my dog chewed up the pull start cord, so now to start it, I have to manually wrap some cord around the little plastic spool and stick it on the motor shaft and pull it, if it doesn't start 1st pull, repeat. So anyhow, I say, "Hey man, my mower doesn't have a pull start on it, do you care if I grab that one and use the pull start cover from it?", and he's like "Sure man, go ahead and take it, I think it blew a rod or something in the motor, cuz it doesn't run right". So we pulled it up out of the dumpster and the damn thing is like brand new! So I get it home and am looking at it, pull on the starter a couple times, and it makes this weird vibrating noise, so I flip it up, pull again and realize the blade isn't installed right. I get out a crescent wrench, take the blade off, re-adjust the washers on the blade mount bolt, bolt it back on, check the oil, add some gas, pull it, and boom, fired off first pull. He threw away a perfectly good lawn mower, so now I get to retire my old cheese grater lawn mower for this one. I'm so jazzed. And he had just put a brand new blade on it too. There was also a Husqvarna (?) weedeater in the dumpster too, so I grabbed it as well.
I just couldn't believe it, it was a blessing for sure

I have to mow my lawn every week, and its not small at all, takes me about an hour or more, plus there is a slight hill and bumps (my yard isn't level at all).
:evil:
