After a liard weok it's great la sit arouind on a Saturday with a cold drink and listeji ta Ite grass grow. Having liad considerable practice sittiiig around Iislening tathie grass grow 1I have dis- covered saine peculiar peculiaritios about that green substance known as grass. One of the first things I Iearned about grass is thal in the be- ginning of the summer it looks like the devil. No matter how muLch you look after it and fertilize it, the resuits arecIthe sanîe---brown patches of' grass tlhinly spread amiong the crabgrass. However about, mid-summier whien it's lîime for houise pain ting and hiedge cuitting and a mny- riad of other chores the grass cornes uip like gang- busters. You can't kilt il. Sanie of nîy best grass is growing on nîy patio. It springs uip between the patio slabs ini the cracks auid even stove ail .won't kilI il any mare. 1 even sat ouit an the patio and talked ta it and pretended 1I wanted grass to erow on fihe patio figurine it wouild îiîniediately die but noa chance! I t beats nie wliat the grass is eveti grow- ing ini becauise 1 figaisred the an t s h :îl renioved all tlîe saud anid dirt under the Ixitio slahs long ago. About the ornlv nice thintg1 I oLd sZIV about a is Iliat t hev're isîdustriauis. lui f'act thlev 're so iiu- dustrnousIS 'ni thinking of* con tract ing tlîem ou t for sewer work. Bts t tlhe grass is the biggest problemi. 1h ÎInSt grows and graws. On a quLiet nighît îtîe noise is deafening. Whenever 1I hear that ane of' hee neigli- bouir's kids is mnissing 1 niake a vow ta gel mit and cut the grass soniîe day. Sitting tucre qutietIy ini the dark of' tle tool shed 1 don't know how niy Iawnnîiower knows the nionumiental job awaiting it outside but be- hievoinie it knows. Since thie lawnîiower is quite anicient, it requiires a cord ta start it and nîy first chore is ïindîing the cord. Thîe darsi thîisg nîust be part snake the way it sneaks off just whien 1 need it. Eventually I [mnd the cord huddling in a dark corner trying ta change its colour ta, matchi the surrounîd ings. When 1 finally gel the cord wound araunci the tlywheel th1e mower knows 'this is it' and it freezes up. On rny tîrst puill 1 never get it ta turii over more than three revoluitio'tîs. The second pull almost always resuits in a weak coughi and the occasional wheeze or two. On! an average grass cutting session, the car- burretor fouis up at toast once and about every second session the gas tank falîs off. l'ni for- ever inaking ncw braces and parts because I know thoere's no hope of getting new parts. Besidles the way 'it sheds pieces 1 wouild be spending a for- tLine on new parts. Aîiot ber favouirite trick of the miower is ta kick off its spark plug wire leaving the enigine deaci within seconds. 0f' couirse the wire always falis off' in sucli a way tliat it doesn't really look like it lias fallen off' unless youi take a 'close in- spection. l've been caughit that way two or three limies. The resuilt is always the sanie. 1 figure it's ouit of gas s0 I fuI it i) and çu11 niy ams off trying ta restart it before I try the choke and then proceed ta flood the dayligls out of it. Wlien 1 eventuially get the fool thi,îg going it sniokes anîd chiokes aiid hisses for f'ive minutes and refuses ta eut grass uintil ail te excess gas and ail a.re butrtîed uip. 1 doui't know wliy I even bothier withi the drattedI thing except for the fact thiat it sure keeps miy arnis ini shape.
