i wrangled a new lawn yesterday and went up today to cut it...and i have to say...i was a little giddy with excitement to cut it. why?...well, it's wasn't covered in dog shit, a mess of kids toys, ultra mossy and not 2 feet long...now, that's not to say i don't love all my other lawns - because i sure do - they're all beautiful in their own way but...this was like a new cotton gonch right out of the dryer...the woman who had contacted me about cutting it had asked me if the name of her boy was garnet, would she get a discount?...fuckin' right...so i told her that - without the 'fuckin' part...she then told me his name was wyatt but that she had been lobbying hard for the name garnet....and if they had a fourth child (?) she was going hard for it...the name...she also said she liked the name duke and ol' gunner. i gave her a few suggestions as well....but i could tell she was ok...so today - after we negotiated a good deal for both of us, i went and gave it a good cut. it was good...i really liked cutting it. i met her after and her daughter couldn't say my name but instead, like joel's daughter, indiana, called me garden...must be a kid thing. i'd love to get more lawns in that 'hood...i'll be dropping off some cards there soon...then i went and did another nice clean and crisp lawn, the famous bull/toppings number...don always drags out the lawn clippings barrel and we chat about shitola and i'm away...today i also went for a massage at my chiroprator's office...there are a couple of guys there who seem like they know their way around a back so...and i have to say, i'm not a massage guy - no one needs to see me with my shirt off - that's the truth. but i am kinda fucked right now so i have no choice...and all in all, it was ok...but it really hurt at some points...a lot. and my guy was and is a hockey playin' guy so we just talked about hockey...i'm goin back tuesday for a double date - massage and then the bone cracker right afterwards. good times.
after the rubdown today as i was driving up mountain highway, there was a chick hanging outside a building hacking a butt....hey, who could it be?...yup, it was the queen...so i pulled a u-turn, made her get in the car and took her for a burrito up on lonsdale at the red burrito there...i hadn't seen the queen for a while so it was nice to see her smilin' face. then it was off to west van to cut yvonne's lawn, then to the west end to cut lisa's lawn...big day...
there was also a trip with ang to go look at a crazy lawn - if you could call it that, down at knight and 61st...i don't even want to tell you about it...
now...i have to go...i'm making shit on the bbq...
more later.
