Stuff you find on the lawn when mowing

I hit the edge of a pool tarp yesterday and sucked about 3 feet under the deck. it killed the engine and was a nightmare to unwrap. I just cut it and unwound what was under the deck said a few classy words. after we where done mowing I told the customer I customized their pool cover and they didn't even care told me not to worry about they where buying a new one anyways.

I ran over a tennis ball today but didn't damage the blades.

I've done that a lot, especially on the Lawn Tractor. Neighbor kids playing with tennis balls, and they end up in my yard and I don't always see them on time.
I have hit a baseball once, and a few golf balls. Those run-overs were not pleasant. I always wonder why the kids don't come over after them. I always did as a kid. Oh well.

The worst run-over event for me was wire. Somehow about 20 feet of steel wire found its way to my yard. I didn't see it until too late and it wound up around both of my blades on the lawn tractor like you can't believe. What a mess. Took me quite a while to get it out. I could not have wound that wire around the blades better if I had fed it in manually.
 
One of my houses kids were playing with fishing line.... Most annoying thing ever especially in the weed trimmer
 
Slightly hit some landscape fabric with my trimmer and a bunch of fibers wraped themselves around the head. What a mess!

I may or may not be guilty of this on multiple occasions lol. Not only do I burn 25 cents in gas for a penny but then my kids steal it from me by next morning lol

A few years back my neighbor was bush hogging along the edge of his property and wrapped up 1/2 a mile of temporary phone line in the blades.
