When it’s 62 degrees out but the sun isn’t shining…it soooo feels like 35 degrees.

A ride on lawn mower battery only last 1-2 years.  Huh.   First of all we are complete idiots here not mechanically enabled.  I think when the gene responsible for common sense + reading manuals was passed out…Shane and I both were not present.   So after staring blankley at the mower…then the manual…and back at the mower….borrowing jumper cables from our neighbor (because, let’s face it…why OWN jumper cables when you can be stuck in the middle of nowhere with some serial slasher coming after you)….borrowing a battery charger and yes, finally….callingggg myyy dadddd.  Within 10 seconds, dad says…”the battery is shot, go get a new one”.   I did, and that 2 hours we spent gazing at the lifeless mower as if it would suddenly start out of the blue…you know…like ‘if we just touched that bolt’….were just wasted time.  New battery…$35.   Works great.  Started to rain right as I started to mow.  (of course)

maviefolleWho doesn’t love free stuff?  Here’s my bill for filling up our truck and a couple gas cans…
Yes, that’s right my bloggy peeps….FRA-REE!

Our local grocery store has this ‘thing’ where for every $50 you spend in the store, you get .10 cents off a gallon of gas.  You can let it add up, which is what we do.   It’s good up for 30 gallons but you must get all 30 at one fill up…and ya can’t being two cars. 

Since our cars only hold 20, we bring cans to get the other 10.  Because hey, let’s face it, if I’m gettin somethin for fra-reeeee….I’m getting all I can!   So that $1.89/gall became ZERO.  Whoo Hoo!
