Ok, so update on the Lawnmower.....

Um, yeah, I'm an idiot. (There I said it.)
It appears that despite my seeing gas IN the gas tank, there was not ENOUGH gas to keep it running. Drum Riley brought that to my attention while chuckling to himself after he filled the tank (with gas....that sounded dirty), and it started up almost immediately. Thank you to Drum! I'm also glad to report that I was awoken early on this, my day off, by three furry little alarm clocks who informed me it was time to go outside. So, deciding I was up and it was realitively cool out (relatively for Florida in July), I would mow my lawn. (Ooh! I just had Deja Vu....weird...but I digress...) Anyway, I waited for a reasonable hour (8:15), then mowed the lawn, weed wacked and blew the dirt/leaves/grass off the sidewalks, just like Drum used to (didn't edge though - going to need some training on that....)However, I did hit one of the trunks on the big tree out front, so now when I back my mower up, it makes a weird grinding noise. So, I'm sittin here all sweaty and proud of myself. It didn't seem to take as long as I thought it would. So clearly, I've done something wrong.... (because, Self Esteem - hurrah!).

I'm already gross - might as well give the pugs their baths.....
