Oh, you shouldn't have!
... I mean, REALLY, you SHOULDN'T have!
I got home from work last night to discover that when my neighbor mowed his back-backyard yesterday, he also mowed MY back-backyard.
I understand that he thought he was repaying a favor; earlier this summer, I mowed HIS back-backyard, when we had had a lot of rain and I knew that he wouldn't be able to use his big ride-on mower without getting it stuck.
It was really in my own self-interest, since the LAST time he tried to mow his back-backyard, he DID get the mower stuck. And then his son came to tow it out, and got his pickup stuck in MY backyard, and they never DID fill in the ruts like they SAID they would, and so I mowed his back-backyard that one time.
So! He mowed MY back-backyard. Sadly, he evidently had his mower blade level set on "bare earth", because now my back-backyard looks like a schoolhouse lawn where the kids walk every day, i.e, there's no GRASS there anymore.
*sigh*
Time to buy some green spray paint, I guess.

I had some good luck filling in a rather large patch in my backyard in Owego with some of that grass filler that you sprinkle on. Just in case it comes to that :)
Maybe he was looking for the ruts to, you know, finally fill them in?
Thanks, Kate.
and fmcetc., heck, that's a possibility. I've pretty much given up trying to figure this guy out.
