 short trip report

I got the riding mower out and it started on the first pull.  Then I went back and forth across the yard.  I dodged the mud hole where the air conditioner drains, but managed to run over the biggest limb that the storm blew down.  This stalled the mower, and I had to get off and crank it again.  Yes, it has an electric starter, but it hasn't worked in years.  Besides, the battery is dead and won't recharge.  After I got it started, I went back back and forth across the yard some more.  I have to do it again tomorrow, because I got tired* and didn't finish.  It wasn't a very exciting trip. Howard
