Grit in the Gears

I am the grit in the gears, the missing bolt, I am the poker of sticks into spokes. I like to know how things work, but sometimes when I take them apart and rebuild them, I have a few pieces left over. I am a man, so I tend to leave reading the instructions until after it goes wrong. And like all men I have a comprehensive mental map of the world and never need to ask directions. I never get lost, only sometimes I'm late, or end up in the wrong place entirely. It's what we do.

Dave Mows Grass... Belatedly birthdayed.

Over the holiday period, I hear Blogger Dave has had a birthday, and Red Dirt Mule is troubled that she forgot it.
Well, I'm a bloke, which gives me full immunity from needing to remember birthdays, but here, for you, Dave, is a little view of the future of grasscutting. -Grit in the gears, never less than awesome.. Um -except when less than awesome.
Happy new year anyway!

Hiya Soub! I'm so glad you came to my party. Not a huge affair but I think everyone had a good time. My robot got so drunk he fell over after trying to mow the doghouse. Great stuff!

I should have warned you about his liking for paint-stripper, thinners, and gasoline.
tie his little robotty hands next time you put him away
And put all flammable solvents out of reach.
