Life is A circle

[jekjr]

You know it is funny how life is a circle. I got my first mower when I was 10 years old. I am 55 now. It was a 22" push mower with a 3 hp Briggs on it. Paid $42 for it at TG&Y. I worked 22 years in the Pulp and Paper industry as a Maint Mech. Have been in various other things over the years and pastor a small country church in South Alabama. Needing some more income I find myself back starting up a grass cutting business in the same town I started in 45 years ago. I bought a Kubota ZG 222, 8' Lone Wolf Trailer, Cub Cadet trimmer, and Poulan Pro Blower the first week in Aug of this year and have not looked back. Wish I had started back cutting grass 5 years ago.

Same here....I get a lot of time to just think and relax. But I can't get too relaxed or else I would run over something with the mower! :laughing:

I wish I could get a lot of my equipment for free....I always look at/after yard sales to see if there are any free mowers that I could use as backup mowers. So far I have not gotten lucky. I only saw a Craftsman PUSH lawn mower. :frown:
