Close Call with Couch

Occurred on June 23, 2020 / Dubuque, Iowa, USA

: Like most people, I never know when to ask for help. When my wife and I replaced our furniture in our living room, we moved our old sofa out to the front yard. After a few weeks of it sitting out front, getting rained on and killing the lawn, I got home from work one day and decided I was tired of it sitting there. I decided to take matters into my own hands, and it didn't take long for me to realize I made a mistake. Unfortunately, it was too late. My feet slipped out from under me and the sofa came barreling down the hill towards me. Luckily my cat-like reflexes sprung into action and I was able to get out of the way with the only damage being to my pride and a scrape to my forearm.
