Merry Christmas!

Christmas or Christmas Day is an annual holiday that marks the traditional birthdate of Jesus of Nazareth.

Popular Christmas themes include the promotion of goodwill, giving, compassion, and quality family time.

Yard Footwear

Richard Mudrinich is the founder and inventor of the first-of-its-kind lawn safety footwear and gear, including the Rescue Rick the Grass Cut Man Yard Safety Footwear™. "I am the first yard safety super hero in the history of the world. Furthermore, I am the first person in the world to invent garden grass landscape landscaping lawn mowing turf yard safety footwear specifically targeted for the landscaping experience. I conceived these ideas, especially the yard safety footwear, after chopping-off part of my left foot with a walk-behind power push lawn mower while cutting the grass,” shares Rescue Rick the Grass Cut Man.

“I was inspired to invent my yard safety footwear immediately after my yard accident. While in the hospital recovering from several surgeries as a result of my severe lawn mower accident, I made a life-commitment (divine inspiration) to yard safety awareness. In the hospital bed, I conceived the concept of the first-of-its-kind yard safety footwear and gear in order to prevent yard accidents from happening to other people and animals. Since I cut-off part of my left foot, I focused initially on designing and developing the Rescue Rick the Grass Cut Man Yard Safety Footwear™. My focus then expanded to design Rescue Rick the Grass Cut Man Yard Safety Gear™ to protect other parts of the body. These personal protective equipment items are yard safety insurance products and promote preventative medicine as well. Rescue Rick the Grass Cut Man™ will donate to educational and charitable purposes,” shares Rescue Rick the Grass Cut Man.

Rescue Rick the Grass Cut Man™ has received a divine direction (patent) from God to continue to promote the concept of yard safety footwear. He recognizes that other individuals have taken his idea as their own. He wishes that those individuals would acknowledge that Richard Mudrinich (Rescue Rick the Grass Cut Man™) is the inventor of yard safety footwear. Furthermore, there are some individuals who exhibited unethical, unprofessional, and maybe illegal behavior with regards to private discussions, especially involving some federal (government officials, small business development centers, etc.), federal affiliated (SCORE), commercial organizations (patent attorneys), non-profit organizations (hospitals, business development organizations, etc.) that exist to help an entrepreneur development his idea into a business, including protecting intellectual property. Rescue Rick the Grass Cut Man™ cautions entrepreneurs about approaching these organizations, especially with regards to intellectual property. In essence, the entrepreneur feeds these organizations ideas that are then distributed and exploited beyond the entrepreneur. Rescue Rick the Grass Cut Man™ was exploited by organizations established to help (not exploit) entrepreneurs. Indeed, there are now several new entrants into the yard safety footwear arena. Also, Rescue Rick the Grass Cut Man™ is the source of other small and large corporations entering the yard safety footwear business. Rescue Rick the Grass Cut Man™ is the source of new footwear applications by recent entrants into the lawn safety footwear market, including existing safety footwear. Rescue Rick the Grass Cut Man™ is disappointed in these individuals and organizations, especially those acknowledging that Richard Mudrinich is the father and inventor of garden grass landscaping lawn mowing turf yard safety footwear. Richard Mudrinich wants some credit and compensation for acting as the catalyst of a new niche yard safety marketplace. "Throw the yard safety super hero a bone," requests Rescue Rick the Grass Cut Man.

Rescue Rick the Grass Cut Man™ is a caped crusader and yard safety super hero working tirelessly to prevent lawn mower accidents and to promote yard safety. Rescue Rick the Grass Cut Man™ is a renaissance yard man utilizing various art forms to communicate his safety message. “I want to educate and entertain the general public regarding the importance of yard safety. Lawn mower accidents happen in a split-second, often resulting in life-altering outcomes that sometimes include amputation. I learned this from first-hand experience when I amputated part of my left foot while cutting the grass,” shares Rescue Rick the Grass Cut Man™. “Rescue Rick the Grass Cut Man™ is here today so that yard accidents go away.”

Rescue Rick the Grass Cut Man™ is a yard safety awareness conduit for the betterment of mankind. Rescue Rick the Grass Cut Man™ wants to create awareness regarding the frequency and severity of lawn mower accidents and to promote preventive measures to rescue individuals and families from the dreaded experience associated with yard accidents. Each year, there are about 100,000 lawn mower accidents. Furthermore, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) reports that hospital emergency rooms treat more than 400,000 outdoor garden-tool-related accidents each year. Estimates from past statistics indicate that yardwork accidents fatally injure more than 3,000 people. According to Rescue Rick the Grass Cut Man, "Think before you cut. It hurts. I encourage you to heed the outdoor power equipment safety precautions and to promote yard safety!"

Be yard safe! Think before you cut. It hurts!

I am the #inventor of the #lawn #yard #footwear concept. I was the primary #caregiver of my #mom for over 15 years; I could not advance my concept. In the meantime, several corporations and a few startups have created yard shoes. I am looking for kindred spirits who will help make my footwear vision a reality. Please contact me if you are interested. #RIPMom #RRtGCM

My Dad

My dad was born on December 22nd. Happy Birthday Dad!

I want to take a moment and reflect and pay tribute to my dad, Robert N. Mudrinich (December 22, 1930 - November 13, 1995). My dad died November 13, 1995. My dad was the greatest man that I have ever known. He was Christ-like in many ways, and he was very resourceful and patient. He reached out to those less fortunate as well as those more fortunate. He was self-taught on many levels. He was an inventive genius. My dad really was a super hero. Therefore, it is no wonder that I want to save the world from yard accidents.

My dad would have been the biggest fan and ingenious supporter of the Rescue Rick the Grass Cut Man yard safety advocacy. Now, my dad lives with Jesus; his body rests in Morefield Cemetery located in Hermitage, Pennsylvania. I feel the presence of Jesus and my dad as I take steps toward achieving my life goals and mission. My dad was a saint. He would have worn a Rescue Rick the Grass Cut Man T-Shirt around town with pride until it was threads. In many ways, I do not think that my dad would be surprised by my passion to reach out to other people. He would embrace Rescue Rick the Grass Cut Man, while some others think I am just an idiot. I wish that he still lived on Earth. I miss my dad. I really loved my dad. He was a great man. Before I die, I want to ride a lawn mower across America and then continue around the world. I want to be buried in my Rescue Rick the Grass Cut Man super hero costume.

If my dad was alive today, the Rescue Rick the Grass Cut Man yard safety campaign and its various products and services would have already reached the entire world. Please visit the Rescue Rick the Grass Cut Man website https://www.rescuerick.com/ for additional information.

I put a Christmas Wreath on his grave today.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DAD! I MISS MY DAD!

Visit With Santa Claus

Richard Mudrinich, Rescue Rick the Grass Cut Man, met with Santa Claus at the North Pole. Rescue Rick is an advocate and promoter of yard safety, in particular grass cut safety. So, Rescue Rick went to the North Pole to give the jolly Big Guy his wish list for Christmas. “As the Holiday Season nears, I decided to revisit Santa Claus to ask him for some gifts to spur my yard safety campaign. It worked when I was a kid,” winks Rescue Rick. “Santa Claus indicated that I have been a good man boy this year. Santa told me to believe and great outcomes will take place.” 

Rescue Rick the Grass Cut Man provided Santa with his Christmas list below: (1) More awareness about yard safety (2) More yard safety educational tools (3) Establish and advance the Rescue Rick the Grass Cut Man yard safety foundation, society of lawn mower amputees, and yard safety crusaders. (4) Lawn mower and resources to ride across America to promote and communicate the yard safety message. (5) Fellowship and support with yard equipment amputees (6) Pet adoption: three-legged doggy amputee (7) No more yard accidents 

“Santa told me that with a good idea, the money and resources will follow,” says Rescue Rick. “I believe in Santa Claus. I believe in miracles.” 

Richard Mudrinich had a lawn mower accident that resulted in the partial amputation of his left foot. Consequently, he has created his character Rescue Rick the Grass Cut Man to educate and entertain the public about yard safety. “Lawn mower accidents happen in a split-second, often resulting in a life-altering outcome that sometimes includes amputation,” shares Rescue Rick. “I do not want this to happen to anybody else. Therefore, I strive to promote yard safety awareness.” 

Rescue Rick the Grass Cut Man wants to create awareness regarding the frequency and severity of lawn mower accidents and to promote preventive measures to rescue individuals from lawn mower accidents. Each year, there are about 100,000 lawn mower accidents. 

Furthermore, the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) reports that hospital emergency rooms treat more than 400,000 outdoor garden-tool-related accidents each year. Estimates from past statistics indicate that yard work accidents fatally injure more than 3,000 people.

A Charlie Brown Christmas

I watched the holiday television special - A Charlie Brown Christmas - recently. In particular, I really enjoyed listening to the teacher say wha wha, wha wha. I recognize that adults only speak wha wha in the Charlie Brown comic world. Nonetheless, I understand that she is saying Yard Safety, Yard Safety. Nonetheless, there are many people who hear blah blah, blah blah with regards to yard safety. Blah is a word that is sometimes used as an expression for words or feelings where the specifics are not considered important to the speaker or writer. Blah, blah, blah, blah is often used to show irritation towards someone who speaks monotonously or on a tedious topic. Sometimes people say "blah blah blah blah blah" to represent their monotonous attitude. It is a shame that many people do not care about yard safety awareness until somebody gets hurts. Think before you cut. It hurts. Be yard safe! Wha Wha not Blah Blah! Think yard safety!

Wha Wha, Wha Wha and Happy Holidays! Merry Christmas!

Happy Kwanzaa

Happy Kwanzaa!

Kwanzaa is a week-long holiday celebrated primarily in the United States honoring African heritage, marked by participants lighting a kinara (candle holder). It is observed from December 26 to January 1 each year. Kwanzaa consists of seven days of celebration, featuring activities such as candle-lighting and pouring of libations, and culminating in a feast and gift giving. It was created by Ron Karenga and was first celebrated from December 26, 1966, to January 1, 1967.

Rescue Rick the Grass Cut Man applauds the celebration of Kwanzaa. Likewise, Rescue Rick the Grass Cut Man would like to promote a yard safety celebration. Furthermore, the Rescue Rick the Grass Cut Man merchandise would be a nice Kwanzaa gift. In many ways, Rescue Rick the Grass Cut Man can identify with the Kwanzaa celebration. Be yard safe!

Winter Yard Safety

Rescue Rick the Grass Cut Man (sm) has designated the FIRST DAY OF EACH SEASON as Yard Safety Awareness Day (tm). I recognize that the grass grows and the snow falls year-round all around the world. There is always a grass cut and snow removal season somewhere in the world.

Rescue Rick the Grass Cut Man (sm) has designated December 21st or 22nd (First Day of Astronomical Winter) of each year as Yard Safety Awareness Winter Day (tm). I want to promote yard safety awareness all over the world. Whether it is snowing or grass growing, the first day of Winter calls for another opportunity to refresh and develop a commitment to yard safety. Give the gift of Yard Safety Awareness for the Holiday Season.

HAPPY SAFE HOLIDAYS! HAVE A JOYOUS AND SAFE SEASON! SAFE SEASON'S GREETINGS! MERRY SAFE CHRISTMAS!

Red Snow

In the northern hemisphere, the snow season has commenced recently. Several million households and businesses will require snow removal from their properties. Be careful. Think before you operate the snow removal equipment. Rescue Rick the Grass Cut Man provides the following snow thrower safety tips with the goal of preventing any accidents.

Snow Throwers Safety Tips

Read the snow thrower equipment owner's manual thoroughly and understand all recommended operating and safety procedures before turning on the snow thrower.
Clear the intended snow removal area of potential flying objects, such as stones or toys, before you begin throwing snow; loose objects can project out of the snow thrower and hit nearby people and objects. Be aware of objects hidden under the snow.
Never smoke when filling the gas tank. Avoid gasoline spills (be good to Mother Nature.)
Never put your hands in the snow thrower chute for any reason. When the snow is wet, the snow thrower chute may become clogged. When this happens, turn off the snow thrower engine and wait for all moving parts to come to a complete stop. Then, with a cleanout tool, clear the chute. If repair is needed, be sure to turn the engine off first and wait for all moving parts to come to a complete stop.
Never allow children to operate the equipment. Keep children indoors and under supervision.
Never throw snow toward people or cars.
Never allow anyone in front of the equipment.
Keep the snow thrower in good working order. Maintenance. Maintenance. Maintenance.
Wear appropriate reflective clothing and footwear for the weather and activity. Avoid wearing loose fitting clothing. Wear safety glasses to protect eyes from thrown ice, stones, and other projectiles. Keep your hair away from the snow thrower.
Never disable safety features on the snow thrower equipment. Please refer to the snow thrower owner's manual for details.

Leading  snowblower manufacturers indicate that the number one cause of operator injury comes from trying to unplug an iced up machine without turning off the engine (and consequently the snowblower). As elementary as it may seem, you should stress that the unit be turned off, key removed and  sparkplug wire disconnected prior to doing any service to the unit. Additionally, while smoking can shorten anyone's life span, filling the  snowblower with gasoline while smoking a cigarette can shorten it even more. (Source: Professional Landcare Network)

Keep the snow white. Red snow is not a sign of safe snow. Also, Rescue Rick the Grass Cut Man remains a Green Hero even in the white season. Keep it snow white safe!

Happy Hanukkah

Happy Hanukkah!

Hanukkah, also known as the Festival of Lights or Festival of Rededication, is an eight-day Jewish holiday that starts on the 25th day of Kislev, which may be in December, late November, or, while very rare in occasion, early January.

The holiday was called Hanukkah meaning "dedication" because it marks the re-dedication of the Temple after its desecration under Antiochus IV. Spiritually, Hanukkah commemorates the Miracle of the Oil. According to the Talmud, at the re-dedication of the Temple in Jerusalem following the victory of the Maccabees over the Seleucid Empire, there was only enough consecrated olive oil to fuel the eternal flame in the Temple for one day. Miraculously, the oil burned for eight days - which was the length of time it took to press, prepare and consecrate new oil.

Likewise, Rescue Rick the Grass Cut Man is dedicated to Yard Safety Awareness. Rescue Rick the Grass Cut Man forges on with hopes that individuals will spread the yard safety message. It would be great if some people would buy some Rescue Rick the Grass Cut Man merchandise and promote yard safety awareness. It would be another miracle.

Shoveling Snow

The snow continues to fall throughout parts of the world. Millions of people use a snow shovel to clear a path to walk and drive. Rescue Rick the Grass Cut Man wants to create awareness with regards to snow shoveling safety, especially with regards to technique and to whether one should even shovel at all.

Although snowfall is often a delight for young children eager for sledding and snowball battles, adults who have to shovel that snow are rarely as enthusiastic. Snow shoveling can be good exercise, but even the hardiest wintertime warrior needs to take precautions to prevent overexertion or hypothermia. Individuals with a history of heart trouble should not shovel without a doctor's permission, and anyone older than 40 should be especially careful. 

The National Safety Council offers these tips for safe shoveling:

Do not shovel after eating.
Pace yourself. Shoveling, like weightlifting, can raise your heart rate and blood pressure dramatically. Stretch and warm up before you start.
Shovel only fresh snow. Freshly fallen, powdery snow is easier to shovel than the wet, packed-down variety.
Push the snow as you shovel. This is easier on your back than lifting the snow out of the way.
Lift with your legs bent, not your back. Keep your back straight. By bending and "sitting" into the movement, you'll keep your spine upright and less stressed.
Do not work to the point of exhaustion. If you run out of breath, take a break. If you feel tightness in your chest, stop immediately.
Dress warmly. Remember that your body's extremities, such as the nose, ears, hands and feet, need extra attention during cold weather.

I have heard of many people who have had a heart attack while shoveling snow. Rescue Rick the Grass Cut Man (and sometimes snow man - always a yard safety man) wants to rescue individuals, families, and institutions from a snow shoveling medical issue and trauma.

Think before you shovel snow. It can hurt! Be yard safe!

Saint Nicholas Day

While feasts of Saint Nicholas are not observed nationally, cities with strong German influences like Milwaukee, Cincinnati, and St. Louis celebrate St. Nick's Day on a scale similar to the German custom.  As in other countries, many people in the United states celebrate a separate St Nicholas Day by putting their shoes outside their bedroom doors on the evening of Dec. 5th. St Nicholas then comes during the night. On the morning of Dec. 6th, those people will find their shoes filled with gifts and sugary treats. Widespread adoption of the tradition has spread among the German, Polish, Belgian and Dutch communities throughout the United States.

On the day after Thanksgiving or sometime in December, children and their families put up a Christmas Tree. A Christmas tree is a medium-sized pine, fir, or spruce tree that they put in their family room and decorate with ornaments and garlands of all sorts. They also normally put a star or angel on the top, as a symbol of Christ's birth. On the 24th of December, Christmas Eve, each child puts one empty stocking/sock on their fireplace. The following morning of 25 of December, the children awake to find that St. Nick has filled their stockings with candy and small presents (if the children have been good) or coal (if not). Gifts often include chocolate gold coins to represent the gold St. Nick gave to the poor and small trinkets. They also awake to find presents under the tree, wrapped in Christmas-themed paper. For these children, the relationship between St. Nick and Santa Claus is not clearly defined. Some parents explain that St. Nick is the same person as Santa Claus with St. Nick being the "official" name and Santa Claus being the "children's" name, while other parents explain that St. Nick is a separate person that is a helper of Santa Claus.

Later that day, Richard Mudrinich, Rescue Rick the Grass Cut Man, met with Santa Claus at the North Pole. Rescue Rick the Grass Cut Man (also know as Rescue Rick and The Grass Cut Man) is an advocate and promoter of yard safety, in particular grass cut safety. So, Rescue Rick went to the North Pole to give the jolly Big Guy his wish list for Christmas. “As the Holiday Season nears, I have decided to revisit Santa Claus to ask him for some gifts to spur my yard safety campaign. It worked when I was a kid,” winks Rescue Rick. “Santa Claus indicated that I have been a good man boy this year. Santa told me to believe and great outcomes will take place.” 

Rescue Rick the Grass Cut Man provided Santa with his Christmas list below:
(1) More awareness about yard safety.
(2) More yard safety educational tools.
(3) Establish and advance the Rescue Rick the Grass Cut Man yard safety foundation, society of lawn mower amputees, and yard safety crusaders.
(4) Lawn mower and resources to ride across America to promote and communicate the yard safety message.
(5) Fellowship and support with yard equipment amputees.
(6) Pet adoption: three-legged doggy amputee
(7) More resources to advance my vision and defend myself from the thieves.
(8) No more yard accidents.
(9) A new big toe.

"Santa told me that with a good idea, the money and resources will follow,” says Rescue Rick. “I believe in Santa Claus. I believe in miracles.”

Richard Mudrinich had a lawn mower accident that resulted in the partial amputation of his left foot. Consequently, he has created his character Rescue Rick the Grass Cut Man to educate and entertain the public about yard safety. “Lawn mower accidents happen in a split-second, often resulting in a life-altering outcome that sometimes includes amputation,” shares Rescue Rick. “I do not want this to happen to anybody else. Therefore, I strive to promote yard safety awareness.” 
Rescue Rick the Grass Cut Man wants to create awareness regarding the frequency and severity of lawn mower accidents and to promote preventive measures to rescue individuals from lawn mower accidents. Each year, there are about 100,000 lawn mower accidents.

Furthermore, the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) reports that hospital emergency rooms treat more than 400,000 outdoor garden-tool-related accidents each year. Estimates from past statistics indicate that yard work accidents fatally injure more than 3,000 people.

Tripod the Dog

Tripod the Dog (sm) is the first yard safety (green) super hero doggy in the history of the world. I created Tripod the Dog shortly after giving birth to Rescue Rick the Grass Cut Man.

Rescue Rick the Grass Cut Man (sm) seeks to adopt a faithful sidekick – a three-legged dog amputee who survived a lawn mower accident. The doggy will be called Tripod the Dog. We will work together to promote yard safety. With the addition of Tripod (sm), I want to illustrate that lawn mower accidents impact animals as well. The doggy amputee offers a great vehicle to introduce children and adults alike to the amputee community, plus Tripod is a main attraction. Tripod will sometimes act as a photographer to document the yard safety campaign. Furthermore, through a pet adoption, I get to save the life of a pooch that might otherwise be terminated.  Tripod will be a great dog sending a very important message about both amputees and safety.  Rescue Rick the Grass Cut Man seeks assistance from the various pet adoption organizations in helping him locate Tripod the Dog.

It is amazing how Richard Mudrinich (creator of Rescue Rick the Grass Cut ManTripod the Dog, etc.), who experienced a traumatic lawnmower accident over two decades ago, has been the catalyst and inspiration for so many green industry innovations and yard safety developments, including a trade association name and mascot.  I have even promoted pet adoption and rescue, which inspired the trade group.  Thank you!  You are welcome!
