So I Mowed the Lawn Yesterday....

I PROMISE I *will* get back to the Emergency Room Saga in my next post, but I just HAD to post an update to my Pushmower Saga. (If you're unfamiliar with the Pushmower Saga, read about it here and here first - and be sure to read the comments on the second post.)

So, yesterday I had to mow the lawn. I decided to incorporate DH's two suggestions into my lawnmower starting procedure. His suggestions were to prime it 5 times instead of 3, and, he thought because of my artificial nails I was not expanding the primer bulb enough and I should find something else to use (and thus my post about looking for a fake finger). So, since a fake finger was not readily available, I looked around for something else that might work. I decided I would try this stick. So I stuck the stick in the primer bulb and primed it 5 times.

In the immortal words of my brother:

First pull, baby!
