When I had my first shop running we had moved out of the city and had a nice big front yard. As I got finished with a trouble mower I would take and run it through the yard for a few minutes to make sure all was well. Someone had thrown a beer can from their car and I ran over it. It didn't really hurt anything but I almost wet my pants with all the noise. All I could think of was having to replace the crank and blade... I started pulling mowers after that... ----- Original Message ----- From: Scott Howell To: [email protected] Sent: Saturday, December 08, 2007 7:02 PM Subject: Re: [BlindHandyMan] spilled gasoline
Hey, you can't feel bad. I ran over the leaf blower. grin Well it was my fault for sitting it on something and it didn't have its tube on so it wasn't very steady and fell over right in fron tof the mower. Of course I didn't hear it and when I tried pushing over what I assumed to be the small tree root, I heard this crack, snap, and bang. Well I just had to laugh and go buy a new blower.
