Warm and humid rapidly becoming hot and crazy humid. Like yesterday did.<\/p>\n
I tried to stay out of the sun, and not really exert myself. Those leg cramps kinda scared me. So I mostly worked on the mower. Details are in comments yesterday, but the summary is, there is always something more. And spending time on the mower, when I used to have a working mower, is time spent going backwards. <\/p>\n
That is one of the risks of keeping older stuff running. The time it takes can be trivial or it can eat days. And you probably won’t know until it happens. On the other hand, new stuff breaks too, and the starting cost is higher.<\/p>\n
While searching for the parts I know I bought, I did do a bit of sorting and organizing. That’s always good.<\/p>\n
I’m hoping to finish messing with the mower, and actually cut some grass today. Then I’ll probably do some more demo in the dock house, and maybe give it one more spray with the ‘kills everything’ treatment (VitalOxide, if you were wondering, and not from any specific knowledge, but from getting it cheap in the auctions last year.) In Houston Texas you know you’ll need cleaner and disinfectant eventually. This stuff is supposed to be better than plain bleach, and has an odor reducing property too. Seems to be working so far.<\/p>\n
I’ve got some other gas powered equipment that needs work too, so maybe I’ll get to that. <\/p>\n
Or maybe I’ll do something else. The lists are long.<\/p>\n
Having part on hand helps. Having the supplies you need on hand helps. Having the knowledge to apply them helps a lot. Stack all three.<\/p>\n
