Having a fire in the back yard swatting mosquitoes.
Starter relay.
Same problem with my wife's Brush hog. Beautiful Honda engine. 10 years old,
it starts on the first pull every time. Yet the electric starter was winky twice.
Both times it was the relay.
They should take some of the dues money and hire a contractor or do it themselvesTackling my dad's back yard.
He's been gone two years and the house is still tied up in foreclosure. But I try to keep it neat on the outside.
HOA complained about high grass in the backyard. They are just mad because the dues aren't being paid. Like I should fork over that. KMA over their problems.
I pulled the battery, took it up to the shop, charged it and put it on a battery maintainer for a day. Re-installed it and the little booger fired right up. I went to town and got a new battery, just in case. When did little batteries get so friggin' expensive?
I still don't think that it was the battery. There are safety cut-offs on the gearbox, PTO and clutch that won't allow you to start the engine unless they are all disengaged or in nuetral. I checked the clutch one because it was easy to get to but the others are a small nightmare. Anyhow, when I parked it originally I left it in gear. When I went to start it I put it in neutral and I think that the button on the cut-off stuck in the off position. Sometime during night it popped back out and everything went back to normal. I'll get back to spraying today. It's a nice day for it. Those bugs are going to suffer.
What am I doing????
I am sitting here tonight waiting for a frantic phone call from a business friend or two. And watching my suburban street for trouble.
Going in for cataract surgery on one eye this morning and the other eye in two weeks.
USA Fencing announced that I am a Spirit of Sport award winner.
One of the owners of a fencing club in Chicago nominated me. Oddly enough, my club relies on other clubs for help.
I think they found one of the worst pictures of me to use. Probably on purpose.

Also got some good news that one of my students (most of you know her but I won't mention her name now) made all-academic first team for USA fencing high school students. But that award won't be announced until later this month. So its a secret for now.
First, I'm wearing a Hawaiian shirt now.Congratulations Bob. And to your un-named fencer.
As for that being your worst picture, I remember the days of the Hawaiian shirts. Nothing more to say on that subject

Back to work for me this weekend.
10a-10p today.
6a-6p tomorrow.
Guess I don't need any sleep tonight, right?
I can never just go straight to bed after work.
DANG! About how much sleep will you get? Are they short-staffed?
Before I retired I was on call 24/7 every third week to fix ATMs and other electronic stuff, so I know long hours can be really exhausting. I hope you're going to be okay.

4 hours if I'm lucky.
Takes me 2 hours to get fully awake and through my morning routine.
Then I can zip out.
(Always short staffed, every nursing facility is.
Plus those on vacation, our prns can't come back yet because of covid).
I'm the one filing in the spot a lot of times.
Thankfully, I've cut my time in half being there.
Every Wednesday only now, my weekends, and the occasional pick up when I feel like it.
I don’t think you want to go there! :th_lmao:
I couldn't find the "sarcasm" emote. Lollie knows how I feel about nurses in general and her in particular. Didn't think I needed it.That will go over like a turd in a punch bowl.
