I mowed a lawn for the first time in my life. Sounds quite pathetic after existing 30 years. I am only slightly embarrassed to admit it, mostly I am just proud to have evaded this daunting assignment...with 3 other brothers, there was always someone else to do the job.
My first attempt resulted in a 2nd degree burn after touching the engine with the back of my hand. One good benefits to working at a hospital is free doctor consultations if you have an "in." A tetanus shot and silvadene cream is helping this heal nicely. Watching my flesh melt was a good intro to the Halloween month!
