Over the years I've mowed an awful lotta grass that wasn't really "mine"Originally Posted by lizbud
in the interest of neighborhood beautification.
THIRTY years ago I started to venture up & down my rural road to whack down the
unmowed jungle between the road and the ditch - the side of the ditch
that none of the neighbors bothered to mow. After a few years, I had "grass" growing
and some of the folks actually mowing their own ditch every week.
My only run-in with the Law was years ago ... springtime and the grass was
WAY high and always too wet to mow. We had a dry spell so OddJob (my Japanese
noisy Diesel) tractor and Woody (the trail-behind mower) were working
late (REAL LATE - like 12:30 - 1:00 AM) to mow the foot-high grass ...
OddJob tends to make a LOTTA *racket* when he's workin hard (two-cylinder Diesels
are known to be a tad bit "noisy"!)
We were blasting our way around the pond - putting OddJob about 100 feet from
the neighbor's house on every pass ... when the headlights appeared in my driveway.
We roared around the pond and I recognized the Sheriff's Car behind the headlights.
Uhhhhh-Ohhhhhhh ...
He was nice - but 'suggested' it might be time to quit in the interest of
neighborhood peace and tranquility. We called it a night.
