I managed to stay alive in this frikking humidity in spite of getting 1/2 the lawn mowed.

 

Yeah, waking from a nights sleep is always a bonus!

 

I'm sorely tempted to buy a ride-on but they really are silly money.

I had a much older version of this in the states.  Best mower ever.

Repaired the gate after our grandson headbutted it during a tantrum.

 

Grandson a potential Muay-Thai / Sumo / MMA ?? Or just a crumby gate?

Until it left and sent you a John Deere letter.

 

That has to be older than me, but I'd never heard it before!

 

How do I get beer out of my keyboard???

Open Time Machine and choose time before spilling it, click Restore.

 

If it doesn't work, your Flux Capacitor license expired or you're out of Plutonium.

Saturday morning on Racing.com (Australian racing), cut about 1 rai of grass in the afternoon as there was no rugby last weekend. Sunday, a day of rest with the rain.

I drank a few beers and had sex 3 times.

Finished all my "chores" in a prior life no more of that nonsense. Renting a nice big condo sure makes life more free, easier, simpler, and much more enjoyable.

I pulled apart the dash from one of my cars, removed the instrument panel, dismantled it - and then replaced the speedo gauge with one that measures kilometres and not miles. It had been annoying me for a while, and I was apprehensive about doing the job.

Anyway - mission accomplished - everything replaced. No squeaks or rattles!

Had a few beers to celebrate!

By the way  -   when IS the week-end here?  In my retired relaxed state - every day is a week-end for me.

Did he have a partner or sex with his friendly hand and a bottle of lotion while watching porno?

My single favorite thing....

 

You mean none of these apply?

 

Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens
Bright copper kettles and warm woolen mittens
Brown paper packages tied up with strings
These are a few of my favorite things
 
Cream colored ponies and crisp apple strudels
Door bells and sleigh bells and schnitzel with noodles
Wild geese that fly with the moon on their wings
These are a few of my favorite things
 
Girls in white dresses with blue satin sashes
Snowflakes that stay on my nose and eyelashes
Silver white winters that melt into springs
These are a few of my favorite things

 my little generator khrapped out, in that the Pull StarterRecoil Assy did a total self-destruct...  of course it is one of those generic china-built 'throwaway' gennies - for which there are No Spare Parts Replacements...  SO the task was to replace the entire pull start recoil with whatever might be available? but which will also fit into the miniscule compartment surrounding that end of the motor. 

Well, I sourced some whippersnipper RopePullRecoils on eBay, dictated solely by what was 'small enough' to fit in that space??    

Well this weekends task is to create a steel adaptor plate that will mate the engines (Recoiler) mounting points, with the mounting points on the new little Recoil unit ???? 

  Last night I fashioned a 'template' unit out of the plastic lid from a 1kg Yogurt container - namely due to it being very thin, thinner than tinplate even... I know there won't be much latitude regarding the thickness, when a final steel/tin 'adaptor plate' is put in situ; in regards to providing the correct clearances between stationary and rotating parts...

   I am still visualising that this project is a sort of scaled down version akin to making an adaptor plate for mating a 4cylCarClutch, onto a v8 engine ????  The final Smoke test may be interesting to watch, albeit from behind safety goggles...
