Introducing my new addition:

I got this off of craigslist yesterday:

An 18" Great States reel lawn mower. My mom got one when I was a teen and it was my chore to mow the lawn after my brother mowed the lawn (to make sure it was really done and to do the hard parts). It brings back memories. I was too tired last night to really give it a go, but I did a few swipes and it's pretty darn sharp. The sound it makes also makes me happy. The guy who had it lived out in Waltham and had intentions of mowing his lawn with it, but after a few go-rounds decided that he just had too much space to really use it. $40! A steal!

I'd also like to introduce his arch enemy:

50 gallons of smelly gasoline that has been sitting on the patio area for long enough that it's started seeping through the plastic and making rings on the concrete. I'm calling the city tomorrow and having it removed. It smells bad and it's DANGEROUS...also apparently after two weeks in direct sunlight (let alone years) it becomes useless.

Thirdly--

Anyone know what this is?
