Lou takes the next big step in home ownership

Lou made a deal with one of the neighbors who helped him build his house. The guy has a small engine repair business and occasionally gets his hands on a decent riding mower that just needs a little work. He traded this previously-owned mower for some of Lou’s leftover construction materials.

The degree to which Lou has become domesticated (and the speed of it all) freaks me out a little. I mean, one of the reasons I sold my house and moved into a van was to avoid yard work.

    When I had a weekend place in the boonies, mowing knocked the undesirable critter troubles down about 85%.

    A riding mower is not yard work; it's yard play. :)

    There is something fun about riding around on lawn tractor that runs and drives nicely. But when they are not easy to use it is simply a pain in the rear to try to do the mowing. But even so much less of a chore than using a push mower.
