It's a jungle out there...
My Aunt Jackie and I rota tillered my backyard while she was in town. I should really say that she did all the work and I just picked up rocks and gave her moral support. The people at the rental place must have thought we were insane to begin with because it was drizzling rain when we went to check out the rota tiller. They warned us that it wasn't the greatest weather to do it in, but we decided to go along with it anyway. We got to my house and attempted to remove the straps that were tying it down and had no luck. We had to drive back to the rental place where the guy showed us how to do it. Back at my house, we attempted it once more and still had no luck. We were back on the road and a little embarrassed to be back again. My aunt joked that we were just two dumb blonds but the guy didn't seem to think it was funny. We finally got the stupid thing off the trailer and went to work. Half the backyard was dug up when we decided to take a break. My aunt tried to get it started up again when she pulled on the cord and the handle broke off....which led us to call the guys again to get the damn piece of equipment. The world was against us that day...but I know see where I get some of my determination from =)
