The Lawnmower Diaries
Learned my first lawnmower lesson last weekend: NEVER tip your lawnmower over!
I was trying to get it clean, and tipped it over, sprayed the grass, yadda yadda yadda...next thing I know the lawnmower won't run right. Sputtering, idling out, smoke coming out. I was afraid I had gotten oil in the carburetor, in the spark plugs, everywhere. After much tinkering with it, I realized that some oil had seeped through to the air filter. That sucker was dirty and nasty...so dirty that air wouldn't move through. So a clean filter did the job, and now it's running as smoothly as ever. So lesson I learned is not to tip it over!
Have my fantasy football draft for Colin's league tonight. I finished second to Colin last year (last two years actually) and hopefully will get one of the top 3 picks so I can put a whoopin' to Colin.
