Captain Woodrow Cahill, SASS # 54363 Posted October 18, 2011 Share Posted October 18, 2011 Started off Monday with a short turnaround at work ... out at midnight, back in at 7:00 AM on two hours sleep. Then I broke a tooth ... can't get in to dentist until Wednesday. Today I figure I'll do yardwork and leaves before it rains. Weedwhacker refuses to start. Use the light electric one ... battery runs out before all the trimming is done. I hear a rustling in the leaves. Big fat groundhog is coming straight at me like a lost pet ... after spending the entire summer running away. Figuring wild critters don't suddenly get friendly unless it's sick or injured, I chase it off. It keeps coming back, until it decides the leaf blower wasn't any fun. Get the tractor out of the barn ... it's steering funny. The king arm on one axle is broken ... limp to the shop, tear it apart, and weld it back together. Get halfway done with mowing and grinding leaves when it starts making an odd noise. Look down, and the deck is halfway out to one side. Shut down to see what's what, and the elevator mechanism has busted off the deck. Take it off, tow it to the shop to fix later, and decide now's a good time for lunch. Dog has peed and crapped in the kitchen. Was contemplating going to the range tonight. Now I'm not so sure that would be a good idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I say go to the range - what could possibly go wrong there? Regards Gateway Kid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
