Going back and filling in the blanks.... My lawn tractor's starter died on me on Tuesday. I tried finding one at a decent price locally, but had to do eBay, which I confirmed would be shipped out on Wednesday. My daughter's first semi-formal dance was tonight and the going away party for our good friends was on Saturday afternoon. I was bummed (as were my daughter and wife) that the tractor had to die this week, after some good rain when the lawn was super long and would look awful in the pictures for both events. Plus my son and I were headed up to the Fathers & Sons camp out, so I'd be lucky to get the part by Saturday, install it and mow it before everyone got there. I was shocked when the part came at Noon today! I got that sucker installed and the lawn mowed by 3pm when we left for the campout. The pre-dance pictures turned out awesome and so beautiful with a freshly mowed lawn! The only bummer part is that I wouldn't be there to interrogate the poor guy. I had all my gear out and ready to go: Confederate flag doorag, long goatee, rifle out with cleaning equipment, and a nice sharp Bowie knife ready to pick the raw meat out of my teeth. He's a lucky guy, that's all I can say. I told my daughter to let him know I'll be waiting next time and that he'll need to arrive extra early so we can have our chat before they need to leave....
