More Work then Normal

I went to bed last night around 02:30 hours and got up this morning at 11:45 hours. I got up and ate lunch and then I read the paper. I then got changed into old street clothes. I then went out and walked 20 laps on the driveway and then came back in and my mother and me talked for a little bit. I then left around 13:45 hours and headed up to the fire house to mow the lawn. I got up there and parked and then got the riding mower out. I mowed beside the old fire house and then moved my car there. I then mowed the lower lot and then the grass beside and behind the station. I then mowed around the hall and started on the grass in that lot. I got some of the lawn done and then the mower deck started making noises. I shut everything down and let the mower sit for a few minutes, then started everything back up and tired the mower deck again, with the same result. I shut the mower deck down and moved the mower over beside the station. I then got the front end up on two cinder blocks and checked under the mower deck. I cleaned some of the built up grass and tried it again, but still had the same result. I then started checking all the belts and then tired it again, same result. So I took the mower off the cinder blocks and put them away and then started the mower up and drove it around some and tired the mower deck again, same result. So I brought it back and parked it beside the station and then my father pulled in. I told him about the mower and he had me move it to the front of the station and he looked at it and said that most likely one of the bearings froze up. I then called Bubba and told him and asked him if he had a push mower and he said yeah and I asked him if I could borrow it and he said to talk to Robin. Me and my father then talked for a little bit and then he headed on home and I put the mower away. I then went down to Bubba's house and talked to Robin and got there push mower. It is not self-propeled so it was a work out for me, and also considering I haven't used a push mower since my sophmore year in high school. Once I was done, I put fuel in it and then put it back down at their house. I then got the weed whacker out and did the weeds. As I was heading down to the lower lot, it ran out of gas. As I was walking back up to the station, Jess came pulling in from work. I was kind of in a hurry and didn't wave as I was rushing around to finish up so I could get home and get cleaned up for work. I put fuel in the weed whacker and finished up and then put it away and closed everything up and headed on home. Once at home I took a shower and ate dinner. I am now getting ready to leave for my 12 hour shift tonight in Eville. I will be home in the morning.
