It’s only a matter of time

by Blair Warren

True story…

This afternoon I decided to mow the yard.  But the lawnmower wouldn’t start.

Thirty minutes later I gave up and decided to get after some weeds with our gas powered trimmer instead.  But the trimmer kept stalling out.

Undeterred, I decided I’d at least spray some poison on the weeds.  But the sprayer head was stopped up and would only dribble a little off to the side. 

That’s when I took the hint.  So, not knowing what might fail next I called it a night and vowed not to touch any more equipment until tomorrow.

Trouble is, now I have to pee and I don’t think I can wait that long.

Update, Tuesday, March 11:Loaded my broken lawnmower into the back of my truck to take it to the shop.  Now my truck won’t start.  No.  I am not kidding.  And in case you’re wondering, everything else seems to be working just fine.  But, at this rate, how long do you suppose that’s going to last?
