HEY EVERYBODY!!
Looks like everyone was busy in blogland today. Issues, issues, let me get you some tissues...I got a late start on my trip to Miami. We stopped for sushi and were in cleanup mode when I decided to do some lawn work. It rained everyday for the last 10 days and the grass was getting high. Temperatures peaking at 100 degrees this afternoon and as the sun started to go down I switched gears and got out the gas edger.
It's pretty old. I bought it 2nd hand probably 10 years ago. Some of the hoses were leaking and the bubble used to prime the carburetor split the last time I used it. Tape wasn't enough to stop the leak so it didn't want to start it this time. Then the pull cord snapped. It's not worth repairing. I pulled out an electric trimmer with a metal blade and it was doing fine until smoke started coming from the motor. Oops... looks like a goner. I got out the string trimmer aka weed whacker and went until it was too dark to work.
We're back at the condo with the a/c running... cool
Tomorrow is another day and hopefully, we will actually start painting.

I had sushi a few weeks ago.
I've been going there for years and my wife has a great time, especially when the women come to our table to chat... in Chinese, of course!
We did good today. What was my office had lots of internet and telephone connectors that I clipped out, Coax cable to a UHF antenna, filled some holes with plaster.
We were able to paint that bedroom 95% with 2 coats of paint. Only some trim at the base and windows needs to be done.
Sounds like your yard work tools have some "issues".
I joined this place a while ago hoping to improve my English and write about the things that come to my mind in a relaxed way, but very soon I found out that there were too many expectations, so I deleted my blogs and gave up on blogging. Maybe old members can't notice it, but as a new member I felt so much pressure - you should reply to all comments, you should explain yourself and your thoughts, you should reply to questions (even personal ones) and discuss everything, you should be fun, you should entertain others, you must allow comments...
I'm not a forum person, so all those unwritten rules of this place and too much discussing, explaining myself and replying - simply became overwhelming very fast.
I had some free time today and decided to come here and see what's new and - who knows - maybe I can give blogging one more try - in a different manner that suits me more.
