Oh, hey, thanks for all your help with the yard work.
No, seriously, I got it. I even swept the driveway and sidewalk. Pulled a few weeds, too. I swear, you kids think this grass mows itself, don't you? Is it asking to much for you to tear yourselves away from the computer or TV or XBOX for 30 minutes once a week? Criminy!

:grr:

14. There's isn't done either!
It's a sad state of affairs when MY lawn is the best looking in this little section of houses. :D

Actually, their lawn guy is on vacation. ;)

13. SIr, I'm going to have to ask you to step outside
Not only are you mowing on an Ozone Action Day, but you watered your lawn off schedule. I would take you to jail, but you make me so sick I think I'll just claim you fell down a few times against my car door before we take that ride.

22. Worse
We're pissed because we couldn't get on with APD. Nothing meaner than a failed cop on a hot day.

You know what, give me your beer and let me taser you just once, and we'll call it even, okay? Man, I've been dyin' to use this thing on someone.

And, uh, keep that taser away from anything vital, ok.

37. Yup. The batteries are charging for 9 hours. Just opened the package.
This is part of an experiment to see if these can compare to gas-powered equipment.

40. You'll love it for three years
Then when you have to replace the very expensive batteries, you won't so much. Mine had a short lifespan. Still debating whether to fix it or buy something else. That's the mower, I haven't tried the others.

The mower is nice, though. It's easy to push and feels sturdy, but light. And it's not very loud.

44. That's what I figure. Have you heard of the Neuton lawnmower?
One of my friends with a small lawn loves hers. Lightweight. Also kind of cute.
