I slept in late on Sunday, due to not sleeping much during the night (again). I made a big breakfast of bacon, over easy eggs and hash browns. I needed that!
I worked on cleaning the house until 1:00 PM. Then I remembered the back lawn. So, I went out and plugged in the air compressor. I filled up the low tire on my car (I think it’s a rim leak) and the rear tire on the mower.
I tried to start it, but the battery was dead (groan). So I took the trickle charger off the bike and put it on the lawn tractor.
Then I went in to take a nap. Unfortunately (or maybe fortunately for me) I slept until 6:30 PM. So, cutting the back lawn was out (it takes about two hours and the sun now sets around 7:00 PM here.
I made a bacon, lettuce and tomato sandwich on sourdough bread with lots of mayo and salt for my dinner.
I watched my usual Sunday shows and finally fell asleep around 1:00 AM.
re: "the battery was dead (groan). " I had the same problem on Friday...tried to do a quick charge and nothing...took it up to Walmarts, they checked the battery and it was shot (not even two years old)...so, $24.00 latter, went home, installed and cut the grass. The guy at the service center told me that if you don't pull the battery, and mower is on concrete in the gargage, your lucky to get a year out of a battery.
ReplyDeleteDad always said if your going to store a battery in the garage, either put it on the bench or on a piece of wood if you have to put it on the floor.
ReplyDeleteMy motorcycles are stored in the garage(w/concrete floor) year round and have never had a problem. One 5 years now...
