That didn't last long... two weeks ago I noted that the referred lawn service folks came.  Last week I'm told they were in the neighborhood on Friday while we were out, but given that they said they were going to come on Saturdays I hadn't scooped nor unlocked the gate, so I wasn't mowed.

Today I texted before leaving the house asking that their team mow to the right of the fence if they were still coming today despite the recent rain.  Well the reply was "I apologize for the confusion but we will no longer be cutting grass."  Would they have messaged me if I hadn't texted?  Prb not, right?  Then asked me to send a check for 2 weeks of mowing.  No sir, I paid in cash for week 1 and you weren't here last Saturday.  This has potential to piss me off.  Hopefully the kid that mows for the neighbors is interested in taking on more lawns.

I got a charge on the batteries for the mower and got the front and sides done this evening before dark.  The back is thick and high right now... so that'll be fun tomorrow (if it doesn't rain more).  The batteries are charging back up.  Wish me luck.
