Today, I mowed the lawn. It didn't really need it, I just did it to knock off the high spots. So I ride around the yard and when I finished, I went to raise the deck for a quick scrape out and discovered I had failed to lower the deck to the normal cutting height and "mowed" the lawn at 4 1/2" instead of 3 1/2". Too embarrassed to go back out and remow, I just put the mower away, plugged it into the charger, and went inside.

I've gone out to look for myself. If I return before I get back, have me wait for me. -
Hahaha! I did that height misadjustment a couple of weeks ago on a sloped edge in my yard.Hank Lee

THe thing is, in a week, you will cut it at the right height.
And after you do that, there will be no evidence that you did it wrong last week.

If your only tool is a hammer, you tend to treat all problems as if they were nails.

We’ve all had moments where we “blew it” on a project, but that’s part of learning. I had a road trip once where I completely miscalculated mileage, and gasbuddy https://gasbuddy.pissedconsumer.com/customer-service.html ended up saving me by showing the nearest affordable station. In woodworking, it’s the same idea—you need tools that keep you on track and resources to help fix mistakes. The important part is not letting setbacks discourage youLast edited by pearson; 08-20-2025, 05:27 PM.Comment

The day that I start worrying about what the neighbors think about me mowing my yard…… it’s been raining some every day so the grass is growing like crazy so keeping up with mowing is a challengeComment
