Damn right.
Saturday was the day that Brian set out to try out the lawnmower that Elmo gave us. We figured that we'd take a chance try the mower out without much prep work. (In fact, all we did was add gas.)
I did, however, search for an owner's manual online to see if that could help us with any necessary troubleshooting: http://manuals.snapper.com/Manuals/manuals/12628.pdf. Take a look at the first page--that's our mower!
Hello, 1981!
So, yeah, after sitting dormant for 3 years, the thing started up on the third or fourth pull. It was un-damn-real. This thing is like a mowing beast. Chopped everything down like it was nothing. Elmo and Hannah Rock!
We spent the rest of the day on Saturday cleaning and hanging pictures up. There are a few more things to do, but it's all coming together quite nicely!
Today we had our first "dinner party" and had Brian's parents, grandma, and brother over. We had a very yummy meatloaf, roasted green beans, and homemade mashed potatoes. We sat in our formal dining room for the first time and even got to put the leaf in the table. We also went all out and used our fine china for the [real] first time. (The other times were just with Brian and me with cinnamon rolls on Christmas morning.)
All-in-all, a very lovely weekend.
Leaving for New Orleans and Baton Rouge in 5 days!!
