Another beautiful day to be at the Fifty Acre Wood. The sole task of today was to mow, I hope the tractor was up to the challenge. Today no jiggling of the wires needed. When I turn the key on the tractor it started right away.
The first test today was to mow the field in front of the home site to knock down the weed so we could see the pond from the home site and also to clear the brush from the barn site also. After about an hour this task was done and was ready to point the tractor towards the north boundary line and hopefully this time we would have better luck mowing.
I drive the tractor to the spot where it died last time and miraculously it continues to run so I start mowing. After an hour of mowing the north property line, the mower quit turning. I drive the tractor back to the barn to see what was wrong with the mower. After inspecting the mower blades I discovered that there's a bundle of barbed wire caught up in the blades. Nice job fence guys, I found the surprise you left for me. I wonder how many more surprises are out there waiting for me.
