the mud patterns on your arms and legs don't match the mud absent from the watch. Could it be staged and you didn't wear your watch for this very dangerous activity for your watch

That’s even crazier than the safe queen guards. Should I go deeper?

If you had some muscles, I would say “yes!”

But sadly...

Agreed, had to sell the biceps for the watch though, fair trade?

Just goes to show a DJ can be worn anywhere.

P.S. Fabergé egg office etiquette depends on your place in the pecking order and if you run the risk of having a nicer egg than your boss?

It's a watch, not a hummingbird egg. Lol

And you got that muddy, steering the mower around the roses in your garden? I see a muddy puddle holds no fear for this intrepid Rolex wearer!
How exciting!

Nice 'knock-off', Lacoste shorts tho'.

Those are Hawaiian hibiscus SIR! Nautical Lacoste shorts allow me to sail on hibiscus mudd!

See isn't this better than all the "MY AD" "Can I" "Grey's are evil" repetitive threads?

I'm glad you took the proper precautions and wore gloves. You certainly don't want to lose grip as you pull .00001 Gs cornering that mower at 2mph. Might I suggest a HANS device and 5-point harness next time?

'pologies....I meant Rosemallows.

You're correct, much better too, than the usual 'steering wheel' thread. Well done Sir!!

I've raced 'mowers here in the UK (annual 12 hour race). Dust, is your biggest enemy, it gets in, everywhere! Nautical shorts, Lacoste or otherwise, just wouldn't cut it.(pun intended)

Rosemallows that’s more like it! Yes once in a blue it’s nice to see something different around here.

No racing, just a wise ass honeymooner trying to get my new wife mad/dirty. The mud helps from getting scolded since the preference is not to allow dirt to enter your mouth in turn allowing for less yelling. The mud she couldn’t do anything about though.

Happily there are some who share my same sentiment, wear them anytime, anywhere, and anyplace.
