“Weakend?” Get it, get it? Catchy, huh. Friday and Saturday were, for the most part, blown on work. Necessary evil I suppose. We did have a “movie night” Friday evening; We made dinner and watched “Dodgeball.” Man, it was just as funny the 22ncd time as it was the last 21.<\/p>\n
Sunday was the only day of note, and it was rather boring even at that. I mowed the lawn, so there’s twenty minutes accounted for. After that, I embarked on a mission to fix my weedeater, which breathed its last breath in the Fall. I started with the easy stuff; I figured after 8 years it was probably time for a new spark plug, so I replaced that and fixed the sticky throttle cable that had plagued it for a long time. Then I decided to get fancy and take it all apart and clean it up. This decision was probably the beginning of the end for the ol’ Ryobi. I replaced all the gas lines, cobbled together a makeshift air filter, and took apart everything that had a screw in it and cleaned it up. Upon re-assembly, I anxiously pulled the cord a few thousand times, and… Nothing. Not even a sputter. Not too remarkable really, considering the motor doesn’t even look the same. I didn’t end up with any extra parts, but something just doesn’t look quite right about it. I guess, bottom line, I’m just not a very good mechanic. Now this may come as a surprise to those of you familiar with the considerable time and expense the U.S. Military spent training me to serve just such a purpose, but, no, it’s true. Truth be told, putting a wrench in my hand may have been one of the single biggest wastes of taxpayer dollars in government history. Plus, you know, there was a lot more to my training than just mechanic stuff. They also threw in all kinds of other valuable life skills, like how to survive on a diet of crickets and dirt, and how to gnaw off people’s ears and noses and stuff. Of course I never caught on to any of that either. Gosh, 8 years of my life down the DRAIN, I can’t even fix a WEEDEATER.<\/p>\n
