I looked a complete idiot today. My mother wanted me to take care of her alley with overgrown grass/weeds.
She has been having problems with her mower. So I grabbed a sythe. I spent around 2 hours sharping the blade. My dad left it outside. Got rusted, and I had a hard time cutting the weeds/grass. Blade got oxidized, and I was a little flustrated. Half way through the task, I realized I was wearing black, and it is near Halloween.Might as well have put on a black robe with the hood on, and corpse paint!
I called my mom. She couldn't stop laughing!
If you had a bad day, maybe you can laugh at this. I think my mom will call me the Grim Reaper from now on...

Funny you mentioned that. When I took the sigh out, a few kids were playing in the middle of the street. I've been bitching at my mom to do something about it. The oldest was maybe 5. No adult supervision. EVER! Then I come out with this device that is bigger than a Vikiking battle axe! When I left, no one in the road. lol
