Whipper Snipper 3- Laura 1
The quack grass in the back yard was completely out of control, so on Sunday I decided it was mission Whipper Snipper time!
Weebo had never "demoed" to me how to use the thing...but it's a whipper Snipper...how hard could it be?
Harder than I thought, it would seem!
I couldn't start the damn thing to save my life!
I think that I flooded it...plus there was oil pouring out...sweat pouring down my face...swearing so much (and not so much under my breath) that I had to apologize to the neighbours over the fence...oops!
Mission fail!
So I tapped out and had a cold beer.
Today as I sat on the deck after work, the grass was just too much for me to handle looking at any longer. So I talked myself up...I CAN DO THIS!
I pulled the string....vroom! Off she goes! First shot!
Happily, I wander over to Quack Grass-ville and start snipping...for about 45 seconds. And then the line broke.
Shit Balls! Really???
I wander into the shed, find more line. I CAN DO THIS!!
I then proceed, for the next THIRTY minutes, to re-line the wipper snipper....with sweat pouring off my face (its 33 degrees out), swearing the whole time at the teeny-tiny pieces.
But I won! I did it!
Off I head out again. I got the mass all trimmed down and proceed to do the rest of the yard perimeter....when the DAMN LINE BREAKS AGAIN!!
Max whipper snippering time spent?
3 1/2 minutes.
I calmly hurled the whipper snipper into the shed and had a cold beer!
