Mowing the lawn today.
The mower was running great when I parked it last Fall, so I pour it full of gas and it starts right up. Half an hour, and the machine is running great. It even seems like the blades are sharp. Then I hear a blade strike metal. Dang, what did I hit? But all seems well so I mow on, until something drags it all to a halt. That metal was a pin that mounts the deck. So the deck is dragging the ground, and I have to pick the thing up with a loader and move it all to solid ground.
Might as well do the annual tune up, I figure. Have to go to the dealer for the mounting pin anyway. I can't find the book which gives the parts numbers, but hey, the dealer will have that. Walk in the dealer and it is dark in there. Seems that a construction project has them out of electricity. Without computers they can't look up my parts. I come home (only 6 miles or so) empty handed.
How was your day?
