more wicked action today...and i have to say i have held my cool pretty well the last 24 hours despite the setbacks. today i was cutting and after i cut a lawn at 16th and victoria - a lawn that i wrote a letter to the owner explaining i'm not really into the dog shit but it never seems to go away....or get better - anyhow, after cutting there i used her hose to wash the dog crap off the wheels and some must have gotten into the carb - water not shit - and when i got to the next lawn it wouldn't start. ok, no biggie, but as i gave it one last pull to get it going, the cord snapped and that was that. well, usually that's not that and i can repair it by taking the recoil off and rethreading the cord and away i go. done it, can do it. well, with the new fangled craftsman/briggs and straton, you can't. you have to remove the gas tank, the top metal housing, etc...before you even get near the recoil. wicked. so there i was with a lawn 3/4's cut and not able to start the mower again. so off to champion on fraser street to get it fixed...well, what are ya gonna do?....go get a burger while he fixes it is one thing...so i did. and after an hour i was back in business and cutting like a guy who likes to cut grass..or something.
then after a run at the dog lawn it was back to headquarter to put the finishing touches on the wood platform and get the hell outta there...which i did, but i will be abck there a little later tonight as it's the grand opening tonight and somehow, despite a few bad odds, i was able to get everything done in time and well, not really on budget but not bad...we'll see how ricardo reacts when i give him the bill...
a few more lawns were cut and then it was time to buy some groceries so that i can actually eat something that's good for me...and now, i will...and watch the rays/red sox game. go sox.
more as it develops.
