Just The Tip

This Pro Story

I have been a firefighter since 1995. I want to retire soon and want to keep active. Got my enthusiasm for having my yard immaculate from my mother that I lost to leukemia in 2006. My father recently had lung cancer. I figured a 76 year old man shouldn’t cut his grass. I bought an ariens zturn and a trailer and get to make my mom happy again by cutting the grass. She owes me a little different allowance but I know it looks like the way she wanted.
