Still, I may not be able to teach effectively, but I can drive a lawn tractor! I think I love mowing the grass (and, in our case, the various weeds, dandelions, clover) because this is one thing I can do where the results are immediate, tangible, aesthetically pleasing. Doesn't hurt that it's outdoors, either.

When all else fails, mow the grass
Finally got the mower working yesterday, thanks to the advice of the father-in-law and the two guys building the house next door. Like Redcross Knight, who takes three days to defeat the dragon, yet only manages to win because of heavenly grace, I took three days to triumph over the lawn tractor. . . yet only managed to do that because of the help of friends & neighbors.

I envy you that tractor, mechanical problems and all. You know, you should run down to the Feed & Seed and pick up some cup holders to mount on the side and/or top of that thing.
What?
No, I'm serious. There's a reason they call it "lawnmowing beer." It tastes great while you're mowing the lawn.
