Transcript of How To Get Your Mower Ready For Summer
Act extremely motivated (false motivation is better than no motivation)
Be very pleasant to your spouse (temp.) Plan your work (gonna need some beer) Work your plan (follow the remaining
slides “verbatim”) Enjoy!
Solution: Create a situation where you cannot lose› You tell the wife (or husband if he’s the
bitch) “hey, honey, I was going to mow the lawn and the mower isn’t cutting the way it’s supposed to. It looks all ragged. I think it may need a new blade but I could probably save some money by just sharpening it but I don’t have that tool. I’m gonna run and pick up a tool to save us some money, can I get you anything while I’m out pumpkin?”
Okay, first things first› Get your best cooler out and put it in the
back of the truck› Drive to the local brew shop, get the beer
and ice loaded› Head to your local Lowes (home depot or
Sears if you prefer)› Get the kit on the next slide (only one with
the particular tool you need in it)
First and foremost upon return: do not start drinking until after you’ve briefed the spouse
Explain how buying the “kit” actually saved you hundreds of dollars because you got all the other tools almost free
Kiss her on the forehead and tell her she looks beautiful and you love her
Get out – move stealthily to the garage
Let’s get to work› What you know:
Beer is good when cold Beer is good when plentiful Beer….. Wait a minute, what were we here
for? Oh yeah, sharpen the blade
Next slide
Gas tank on the top side
Probably a 9/16th (14 mm) for my metric friends
The shaft is close to the end of it’s life
This shaft may soon need replacement, go to the manufacturers website and order it now.
Place it on something narrow, if it balances good, if not grind on the side that is lower, rebalance, regrind, etc.
Put the blade back on and tighten it securely (if weak get neighbor)
