Default what have you mowed today?

Besides of course grass/weeds/small trees, there are the always interesting things you hit while mowing (bushhogging if you will)

The worst thing I ever hit was a hog panel on my dual spindle 8' mower. Totally wrapped itself around both spindles and that wire is thick, you couldn't cut it. Took over an hour to get it all unwound.

The coolest thing I ever hit was a water meter. Yes, really the big cast iron cover wasn't set to grade ( about 6" up) and I destroyed that big cover and the iron piece that extends down into the meter itself.

Yesterday I got a garden hose. Someobody left a hose all wound up (I suppose it was, I didn't find it til too late). Not much left of the old garden hose after getting chopped up by the rotary cutter.

My rule is if I can't see it, and it's not marked it's not my fault. If I could see it and hit it then it's my fault.

what have you hit today?
