Lawnmower stuck in mud
On Wednesday, I mowed my lawn. Then, I thought I'm going to put the new roller on the back and roll the back lawn.
Well, I got stuck. At first, I got my jack out of the car and jacked up the three tires that were in the mud and put 1.75" x 8" x 16"
concrete blocks underneath them. I moved the mower a few feet and was stuck again.
Yesterday, I went to Home Depot and bought 100 ft of towing cable and a come along with a 12 ft cable. It was enough cable. Went back and bought 18' of cable.
All day long, I couldn't master releasing the cable that was on the come along. I don't know how many times I tried but I gave up.
This morning, I put a pair of winter gloves on and was able to push thepawl to release the cable and got her out.

As a very independent SOB, I'm feeling accomplished now that I know how to get myself unstuck. :)
