Where is the drinking thread when I need it?

[emc]

Drinking Pinot, maybe moving to a lime-a-Rita. Getting drunk! I've been MIA for a few days.

Got the lawn mower figured out today (hopefully).

I really am not feeling like work tomorrow. I'm thinking of taking Thursday off (just because) so I really shouldn't be that upset at needing to go to work. I guess I'm lazy and would like to stay home and snuggle with my dogs.

I feel the same way. I'm in a slump!

Was there something wrong with the lawn mower or just operator error?

I have to be taught how to start ours every. year. So many levers.

Confession: I don't know how to work a regular mower. I do know how to use a riding lawn mower.

They sold us one with a completely dead battery. So I guess the mower itself was fine...

I wasn't particularly happy. We gave it the benefit of the doubt and put a charger on it. (although I was angry that we had to do that...when you spend that much money I expect it to WORK). Anyway it started grudgingly yesterday after being charged and this morning it started (after being charged all night) but once we shut it off it wouldn't start again and when we tested the battery it was dead.

Long story short, we hauled it back. They wanted to give me a new battery, but I pointed out that upon inspection the blades were very rusty. And I didn't pay THAT much $$ for a dead battery and rusty blades. LOL

Confession: I don't know how to work either of them. Oops.

I cannot use anything that you have to yank that string to start.

This JUST happened to us but with a new washer. 24 hours after delivery some spring fell out.

H told me to call my BIL and they could fix it themselves.

Absolutely not.
