I don't see what nahh said as being a lecture. no1mad asked for advice and what nahh said is pertinent to some of the background that no1mad gave. And actually what nahh said is better advice than that I gave on the same subject.
Nah, go right ahead. I posted that knowing it would be funny, but a little background: what I said to no1mad earlier about me taking a lower paying job close by rather than a higher paying job further away; I do golf course maintenance on a 18 hole course with a 7 man crew counting the superintendent and the mechanic. This time of year, really anytime during the growing season, I may be on four different kinds of mowers over the course of the day. Or on a day like today I may spend a 10 hour day on a tractor mowing rough. Think I'm gonna' mow the yard when I get home?
"You want
me to
mow what!!?"
Fortunately my wife understands this, so she takes care of the yard.
As a matter of fact I really did just order her a brand new mower yesterday. Should be in Wednesday or Thursday.
Funny true story:
A next door neighbor I had, since moved away, sheepishly came over one day.
"Hey, man. It's making my wife mad that you're chipping golf balls while your wife is mowing your yard."
Me:
"No problem. She's mowing because she wants to. Tell your wife to not look over here if she doesn't like it."
He went home.
