It\'s been a few weeks since I\'ve mowed the lawn. It\'s been so dry around here that the grass has barely grown. I decided the back yard finally needed to be mowed. I started up the tractor, backed out of the garage, and started to mow. I realized my headphones needed new batteries and so I stopped in front of a tennis ball to get it out of my way, and go get new batteries. I was on fairly flat ground. There was a very slight incline.After I turned off the tractor, I slipped down the parking brake and got off.
I was on my way into the house when I heard a rumble. I looked over my shoulder to see the tractor careening towards the woods! It traveled about 60 or 70 feet before dropping off a short cliff into the woods. Ouch. Despite my unconscious attempt of permanently maiming the 17 year old tractor, it hit no trees and will be able to be pulled out. Damn. I really wanted one of those zero turning radius tractors.
