My wife said she wanted a riding lawn mower

MY WIFE'S RIDING LAWN MOWER IS NOW FOR SALE !

Heres the story. Its still hard to believe the way it turned out.

My wife said she wanted a riding lawn mower. She works all day and was always tired when she came home from work, and I thought that a riding lawn mower would help her get the yard work done quicker so she would have more time for the chores inside.

SO, being the handy sort of guy that I am, I made her a riding lawn mower! I thought she would squeal with delight or something and give me a big hug. I even put a light on it so she could work at night (see photo below), after she finishes putting away the dinner dishes.

To this day I still cant understand why some women are so hard to please!!

P.S.
I can see out of my left eye pretty good now and should be able to leave
the hospital sometime next week!

:shock: Wherever did you find the photo of this contraption, Eric?
That's a pretty good story to go with it :lol:

If you ever weld one of these together, give us a review on its performance, though intuitively, it looks like it needs something to make it work better. :wink:

Truth is, this was a email sent to me. Not sure the author or handyperson.

I would never treat a women this way. :wink:

If you think about it, I don't think this thing would even steer. The outer wheel, in the curve, would be off the ground. Long straight stretches would work

Have to laugh at this! This one for real, sigh. Last summer my son thought I should have a manual reel mower, and gave me one for my b'day. It's his idea of thinking green. Well, I cannot push that through my thick grass, and go back to my regular gas mower. Now he's working the front area with that mower.

A couple of weeks ago he brought me a battery op weed eater. I have never been on friendly terms with weed eaters, and it shows, as I don't trim. Well, this one is light, no cord, no bumping the line out. I've been messing with it!

Hopefully a woman would never treat you that way, put you in the hospital. That reminds me of all the red neck jokes I see. In the past I have seen posts by people who say you should only use a non-motored push mower to help the environment, where I am all for that where it is possible, it sure would not work for everyone, not me.
