Got up early this morning,decided Id clean up the yard, finish the grass down at the barn and get some odds and ends done.Well, it didnt work out that way,got the yard cleaned up, got most of the grass done at the barn.This is where the fun starts.I know I shouldnt have been doing it but Ive done it a hundred times before,but I was tuning my 154 on a hillside,not a big hillside,but enough to know its too steep to be turning on,I know I should know better! ANyways,I turn the wheels,hit the brake and over she came,throwing me about 10 ft in the air and landing HARD!.Knocked me out for a few seconds,came around to see the 154 heading across the feild.I dont know if the 154 came all the way over and came back down on all 4s or just enough to throw me off and on the ground or what.I do know that when I made the turn,the thing sped up,like real fast and thats when it came over, dont know if the brake locked or what.I caught up with it abpout 100 yards from where I landed and got it back to the house. Wife took me to the hospital and was up there from about 12 til 7 tonite,mostly just to keep an eye on me since I do have a mild concusion,and one heck of a headache to go with it, but they say Ill be ok in a day or two.Anyways Ill live to mow another day,and all those guys who yell "BE CAREFUL", Ill pay a little more attention now! BTW..... BE CAREFUL!
