Forget Crop Circles...I Have a Yard Circle!

Today, I finally got my lawnmower started (the gasoline one), and I kept it going for two hours! Now, maybe I watch entirely too much iCarly, but in a Spenser Shea inspired moment, I decided to mow a path to the middle, and then start a circle, mowing outward. It looks pretty cool, IMHO, although the preacher who lives across the street probably is even more worried about me, LOL!

Well, in two hours I think I managed to get probably 75% of the front yard mowed. Partly because I have such a large yard, but also due to the lawn being a couple of feet high in spots. The back yard is even worse. I have dandelions so big that they look like bushes.

Now my mower is sitting out there, waiting for me to go out and finish the front yard. But the question is, will it start? It has a history of running for awhile, and then not running for about 6 weeks. Unfortunately, I don't know anything about fixing lawnmowers. It's probably the frammestat or the whangdoodle, but since I don't know where those parts are or how to change them, I'll probably have to wait another six weeks.

Maybe I should buy a ticket and win the lottery. Then I could buy a riding mower (did I mention I have a big lawn?), and a shed to put it in.
