The days are getting shorter..........
I needed to get some yard work done this afternoon. I was trying to gauge about how long it would take me and how much light I had left.
Never fails. Change clothes, grab a 5V Relic and head for the mower. On my way, I clip the Relic and attempt to torch it. No draw, zero, zilch, nada. F%#k!!!
Get to the mower, turn it over. Dead battery. Now I am thinking....what's next. I drag out the charger and extension cords. Get it all hooked up and turned on. Thinking I will just do a fast charge and fire it up. I head back to the house and on the way, cut the relic in half and try to torch half of it. Minimal draw. F$%k!!!!!!! I stop by the garage, grab the drill and a long bit. I drill that **** about an inch and a half in and then try to torch it. Not much better. Screw it. I go into the house and grab an Old Henry.
Ok, back to the mower. Turn the dial to start (125 amp) and fire that baby off. I starts right up and I am thinking...ok! now were finally gonna get some **** done. I unhook all the charging crap and drag it out of the way. I fire off the Old Henry and things are looking good. I jump on the mower and head off down the drive toward the lower "park" area. (120 yards x 30 yards section of grass) I just get there and the engine dies! F&%K!!!!
I check the fuel and it's empty. Now I am thinking that I gatta go up, get fuel, bring it down, fuel it and then the dang battery probably is dead enough that it won't start.
So....off I go back up the hill. I get to the cabinet that all my fuel cans are in and find I have ZERO fuel. At this point, I am debating on whether I go get fuel or just say screw it and go sit and smoke and have a beer.
Lemme tall ya, Old Henry and an MGD seemed to pair up pretty good!
