Yes I was minding my own business yesterday and my neighbor wanted to know if I would mow his lawn.

Well, I was busy at the time and told him I would mow his lawn before dark. So I spent time with the family, but around 5pm I did mow his lawn.

Of course I only have one mower and it is my prized 40 year old mower. Yes it still runs pretty good, thanks to the old man who is a master mechanic in small engines.

Last thing he did for my 40 year old mower was to grind both the intake and outtake valves. 

You see I had a hard time starting the mower then the old man came to my house and after a while we found he needed to grind those valves and after he did that it started up very fast.

So back to the odd job, as I was mowing the neighbors front yard he handed me $15 from one of his windows. Which is always great, cause I could always use an extra $15.

I did go over his lawn first checking for big weeds that I can hack down with my broken hoe.

Yes, I do have some old tools and my hoe's handle broke awhile back, but I just hold it by the metal that would hold the handle and use it as a really small hoe. It still works for me. 

I also pick up the twigs that fall from the tree. The mowing part is always easy for me.

So the 40 year old mower is earning it's keep again.
