Us coasties would say "gotta lay my eggs in the sand"

Reminds me of this from the Babylon Bee. I have a few shirts that fit into this category.

Well, I finally had an hour to sit down and troubleshoot the mower. Very odd (in my opinion) I replaced the cable that broke - that was easier than I thought. I verified I could shift through all the gears with it. Still would not start (not surprised) Next, I bypassed the neutral safety...

I work with Brits. Seems like we encounter new phrases every week when chatting. One of my favorites is "Bug Bear" as in "that <<insert issue here>> is a personal Bug Bear of mine" Definition is: a particular thing that annoys or upsets you

I repaired a portable carpet steamer nozzle with it and it lasted a good 7 years. I embedded a couple framing nails in the tape as well to add even more rigidity. The fix outlasted the steamer actually. great stuff.

I don't think it was at exactly 12 volts - that is why I noted "at least 12 volts" above. I will check the exact voltage when I get back out there. It is not outside the realm of possibility that the battery needs replacement however I would be surprised. It cranked with authority when I...

I will bust it open to put the new cable in hopefully today and have more insights. I will see if I can find the kill switches and check for operability.

I am not the most mechanically astute person so bear with me. Equipment info • DR Power Field and Brush Mower Pro 26 14.5 HP • Brush Mower Model: AT45026BEN • Engine Model: 31R6770017G1 (Model 310000 in the manual) Situation I have a DR Mower Pro26. It has mostly sat for the last year -...

This Have you tried this? I had this scenario last year with my MT235HE

I use Hyperlocal weather on my droid. Love the interface. It is free with ads, or a few bucks a year without them. It provides a very nice hourly view that I have found to be accurate more than it is not. The hourly view has slicers so you can switch between precip, wind, temp etc Also...

Regarding water, I would think you would be able to see the water rolling around on the bottom of the can if you were to shine a light in there.

I tried to fill up my truck at Costco a while back. The pump would not read my member card-it was my original card and admittedly in pretty rough shape I called over an attendant who looked at my card and said "your card is actually older than I am by 2 years..."

I get between 4 and 8 feet of snow per year. I have a blower and LOVE it, but it would be the last snow implement I would get in terms of priority. I find that conditions need to be right for it to be useful: -Cold enough to freeze/solidify my gravel driveway -Deep enough to make it...

Per Willie, I woke up still not dead again today.

Also, I believe strongly that Leaders are born and then cultivated, not made. One either has the innate skills of leadership or one does not. It is up to a good manager to recognize those innate skills and bring them out.
