Threw a rod in the mower after the first partial pass on a 7acre lawn.  When pulling it into the garage, my winch decided to die. 

Well, not die.  But bind, hop, then jump out of the spool and wrap itself on the shaft via the 1/8th gap that is there for some reason.

Grabbed the backup mower from the other property and the renter "borrowed" the fuel filter for his quadracer without replacing it.

Proceeded to hit a rock (deck has less clearance on this one) and bend the deck. 

While inspecting the deck I found out why it couldn't stay straight.  The entire front end is dangerously loose. 

Pray you don't get my bad luck.
