The First Lawn Mowing

Nick's chosen title for this entry was "we can't have nice things." I shall explain.

On Saturday we purchased The Lawn Mower. Every first-time homeowner both delights and dreads this purchase. We dropped $199 at Lowe's for a Troy-Built push mower with bagging and mulching capabilities. It's big and red and pretty and cuts some mean grass. As I was halfway through mowing the front yard, it spits out a large chunk of black plastic that I vaguely remembered being attached to the backside of the mower. Oops:


I'm not exactly sure how this happened, but we came to the conclusion that it was an unnessary part of the mower. The rest of the plastic came off shortly thereafter:


The good news is that I finished mowing the lawn without further incident:
