I had an interesting day. I woke up and ate. The nap was ruined by the phone call from some salesman, then the part I ordered for my mower deck came (ordered Thursday and came Monday--super), then it was different enough, I had to go to Ehler's and buy some bolts. After that was repaired, I wanted to replace the blades, but they were round hole instead of star hole, I bought those from Wisconsin. OK I then put the old blades back on, place the deck under the mower, but it won't go. Elon to the rescue. After 20 min or so, it was in place. I started mowing; everything is ok until I get stuck in a hole. Elon to the rescue again, but I burned my hand in the process. I found some gloves, then we got the mower out of the hole. I started mowing again. Everything was fine until I was as far as I can get from home and run out of gas. I drag myself up to the house and hoping the 5 gallon gas tank is only 1/2 full--nope it is full, all 5 gallons worth. I lug that to the mower, fill it up, and nearly 4 hours later, I finish only MOST of the mowing. Thank you Lord. Now for the Aleve and bed. Cheers
