Should I have bought it?
Original Message   May 20, 2005 7:46 pm
Hey guys, Well I have a neighbor lady that lives by herself. I think she is in her early 40's I mow her yard for her now for 20.00 dollars each time. Well she tld me she wishes she could find her a push mower , because she wants the exercise. Well I found this one for 40.00 I bought it from a guy next to one of my yards I mow. I looked at it the muffler has very little rust on it the oil looks brand new and the safety bar wear it pulls next to the handle bars has no scratches on it. Think I  got a decent price. Later Mike

That was really nice of you! To go out, buy a mower, and fix it up for a 40 year old lady to use is a
really nice thing to do. See, Now she can mow her yard and have the satisfaction that she is still
useful! Because sooner or later she is going to be old and can not mow anymore. Good Semeratin are the
words that come to mind...

Hi Mike. Nice of you to do that for your neighbor. Ummm, early 40's is a good age.  I just started taking care of my 86 year old neighbors property and she's very happy with the results. I got to playing around yesterday, and striped her front lawn with the Simplicity. Geez, I thought she was gonna cry she thought it looked so good.  LOL.  It's a lot of extra work for me, but that kinda makes it all worthwhile. Sounds like you got a good deal.

Plus being that it is a push mower and not self propelled, it will be good exercise. Very nice of you indeed!

Thanks guys, I'll see if I can get a pic. lol She is kinda shy she thinks she is bothering us when she comes over once a week lol. I think I'm still gonna have to mow on her septic tank (he above ground kind) its steep I would hate for her to try to push that mower up that thing although she did want exercise lol.
