I love when you've been overdoing it and you decide "OK. Time to put away laundry, take out trash, do dishes, and then go get groceries," and your body goes "OR! You can take a nap. I think you are going to take a nap." Fuck you, body, I've got stuff that needs doing.
There's a sketchy dude whose thing, apparently, is to troll around the Home Depot parking lot in a silver minivan, asking people if they're interested in a home theater system.
I should've made my lawnmower posts in my thread. Since the others are here, I'll add this: Had to mow lawn this weekend. HAD to. Of course it was too wet Saturday so I got to it this afternoon. Got an OK start but killed it on tall grass once and fought with the quirky idle for the rest of the attempt. When things are going well I can get the yard banged out in a little over 4 hours. Today I managed to get about 4% of it cut in 2 hours. At one point I gave up and did something else, hoping the engine would cool off or something. At first that seemed to help but then it wouldn't stay running again. Since I had a little light before bedtime I decided to take one last try and couldn't even get it to start anymore. By this point I'd done everything I could think of with the carb with no luck, so I was resigned to taking it to the repair guys Monday (along with everything else I need to do Monday) but before I did it occurred to me to check the sparkplug. I just put a new one in a few months ago so it should've been fine. Wrong. Heavy with black soot. Of course most of my cleaning stuff is over at the other place so I cleaned it as best I could and this seemed to fix it...for about 15 seconds. Then it died again and wouldn't restart. So I pulled the plug again and tried to get more crud off it. Got the mower to start and stay running but not running well and by this point it was dark out so here I sit.
