There comes a time in every old guys life when he finds that his trusty lawn mower is just sitting in the shed collecting dust, along with his weedwhacker that needs to be re-strung and his blower that needed replacement long ago. Either his get up and go, got up and went, or his balance prevents him from walking from his front door to the end of his driveway without tripping over his own feet. When this happens it's time to find a good "Lawn Guy!" And that my friends is not always the easiest quest one can make. I'm running out of fingers keeping track of all the lawn people that we've gone through over the past eight years. It seems that they either can't do the job to your satisfaction. or they mow once and don't show up again, or their rates rise faster than the Dow. Last month my wife hired a new company and so far she's been real satisfied with his performance. And we all know how important that is because "if mama ain't happy, no one's happy!" So over the past two weeks (she has him come twice a month during the grass growing season, not to be confused with what northern folks call summer) I've been working on a caricature of our "Lawn Guy." Just thinkin', maybe a little "good will", will keep him coming back for a while!
