Bay mows for free, but I wouldn't say he does a good job!

We need a new lawnmower too, I think. Gonna take the John Deer to the shop first and have them work on it... I think it just has water in the carburator again, and dad said it's a bear to take apart.

I think the fancier the lawnmore, the touchier it is about fuel. I swear, I've had $50 rusty garage sale lawnmowers that will run on anything and start every time. Since I've had this self-propelled nicer John Deer, my dad's hand-me-down, we've had nothing but trouble with it not starting. It won't burn gas that's been in the tank or the can for a while, it seems to get water in the gas that you can't dump out... Frankly, I am tired of dumping gas in the driveway trying to empty the thing out.

My dad's even newer, even fancier John Deer has the same problem... it just won't start unless the fuel is perfect and all the stars are aligned. I'm really thinking of looking for one of the old rusty trusties from a garage sale again. Simple engine, simple needs.

Morning!

Not sure what to do today. I should go to Home Depot for some good dirt and to shop around in the plant department. Acutally, I should get a good charcoal grill but I'm getting allergic to spending money again. I need to stop listening to Jack Benny. :)

Got a late start this morning....I watched "Notorious" after the Batwoman movie last night and slept in too late this morning.
