[Running Bear]

Evening. No good about it. I went out this morning to get some laundry done. A couple hours watching TV then pack it up and bring it home. Right? WRONG! I got the clothes in the wash then my father roped me into working on his yellow MTD Yardman. How many ways can you spell junk? We couldn't even get a click out of it. Charged the battery and now we could get a very healthy clack from the starter solenoid.Nothing from the starter. I checked at the starter for power. Zip,zero, bop-kiss! So I pull the solenoid. Are you ready for this!? One of the terminals was burnt clean off! Well that called for a trip to town. We'd get a new battery for it as well. Stopped at the other side of the shed to check the red Murray. The battery wouldn't even take a charge. It was deader than my right foot, and that's pretty dang dead! So, two batteries. We got everything and I was stuck with putting most of it on. I got the yellow Yardman going. My father took it for a test run so everybody could see the work "he" did. I started on the red one. Just needed a battery change, oil and gas. It started righted right up. Later he was talking about all the work we did on them and then it was all the work 'he' did on them. By the time we were finished I was pretty wiped out. We had chili dogs for dinner the I rested there until my back stopped screaming so much, collected my laundry which was done then headed home. I just struggled into the door, put the clothes down and set to work on this post.

I won't be awake in about an hour so it's time for me to say good night and see y'all tomorrow folks.
