mowing lawns

i dis-like lawn mowing. especially today.
every week i walk down to a lady in ward's house to mow her lawn. i usually dont mind mowing lawns, but today was kinda a different story. i couldnt go two rows without having to tip it on its side, clean it out with my hands and then re-start it. besides that, it was being a gas hog today. it was empty before i could get half the back lawn done. urg! the grass was thick and it would'nt go in the bag, and if anything else was going to wrong i would give up. it started to lightly rain after that and the self-propel feature stopped working. now its getting really fun. i was about halfway-through the back when the mp3 player died on me. (: ...i cant wait to go back and mow next week...
