Re: OOPS or Why you should always look for debris before mowing AKA Lawnmower carnage
These are examples of The Corollary To Murphy's Law - if a mower can find it will. OR if it is there the mower WILL find it. I've had my Murphy's Corollary moments, the most recent was the piece of my IH 140 quick hitch that was missing for for a couple of weeks. Found it with my Husqvarna mower, it nor the lawn mower were improved by the experience.

Re: OOPS or Why you should always look for debris before mowing AKA Lawnmower carnage
So far I've been lucky; but I have picked up a dozen trampoline springs I found in the yard because some dam fool in the neighborhood didn't tie-down their tramp, which must have blown through the block during a high windstorm. Fortunately the weeds were low, and the springs bright and shiny so I saw them.
I'm told boats are nothing but holes in the water you throw money into.

Or maybe, does he still own the boat?
My mower malfunctions are pretty benign compared to these found here.
Let see, did the barbed wire thing for sure while actually looking at the wire, sigh.
Mowed some t-posts, pier blocks, rebar and my favorite is the time my wife said i was mowing too close to the pickup, what does she know, and throwing a nicely sized 3inch rock into fender putting a nicely sized dent into the sheet metal that doesn't look so nice anymore.

Re: OOPS or Why you should always look for debris before mowing AKA Lawnmower carnage
Stihlrunner you made me laugh,
, if it makes you feel better I broke a shear bolt when I ran over a fence post yesterday,, I got out and fixed it in a couple minutes.. There I hope that makes you feel a little better knowing we all have our problems.. and your right about the boat.. The two happiest days of your life,, the day you buy a boat and the next is the day you sell darn thing.. Lou
