Irrigation is tomorrow night, 

so after dinner tonight I went out to mow the backyard.  

After my first strip across the yard the wheel came off the back of the mower, and while Tom was fixing that I topped off the water level and cleaned the pool.  

Once the mower was ready to go again I got back to work, but the bag kept coming off.  And each time I put it back on I had trouble starting the mower.  Since Tom was mowing the Back 40 I had to wait for him to make a circuit before I could flag him down.  After it happened again (and again, and again...) I finally just left the bag off so I could get some mowing done.  By the time it was getting dark I only had half of the yard mowed, so guess what I'll be doing tomorrow morning?
