what I did today
Today I changed the blades on our 5' finish mower ,
Let me tell you it was a Pain in the ASS !!!!! First you have to figure out how to flip this Heavy Bastard on its Front, safely !!! You do this by placing 2 big blocks on ether side , and take the front wheels off so the Nose can dig in , Then take the Bottom of the 3 point hitch loose and Pull forward Slowly Then tie on some straps for safety AFTER Locking the Breaks ! Then Unbolt the Rusty ass Bolts !!! That was Fun !!! This is the Old blade Layed Over the New Blade , I think I got my moneys worth out of them

That's clever, how you did that. I like the idea of pulling forward and letting the tractor do the heavy lifting. Did you figure all that out yourself, or did you read the manual on blade changes?

I don't see a cup holder on that tractor. I would expect some American ingenuity in that area from you.

Zip! I love that mower!!! It's such a monster!!!
What I did today? I got up at a ghey public figure's house and could not find any good milk for my coffee. Then I took quizzes on facebook. I am going to now do laundry and clean. I am visiting an online lover in person and probably should take a bath here as well. I will be back in NM on Monday, and hope to have my phone functioning as I needed to respond to an employer today too. I hope she gets my e-mail!! Damn! Now will there be any more questions? That's it so far. It's only about 11:30 a.m. here.

OK, what's the relationship between sentences two, four, and five?
