Awake: 6:15am Temp 53 sleep 6+51 mostly cloudy overnight @ Nicktown.
After breakfast, K & I decided to mow our grass using the Snapper. It's been in storage throughout the winter so this will be the 1st time running for (7) months.
As I poured the gasoline into the Snapper's tank, I saw gas pouring out from the carburetor; oops, I think we have a problem here. I told Kathy that it would be about (45) min & then we'd get started.
Meanwhile Kathy was making more cookies for the KK members; this time: (40) Zucchini Chocolate chip.
My Snapper mower, I believe is well made. It's a 1986 & (24) yrs of age. Getting the carburetor off to clean it up was one interesting adventure. I seriously doubt the carburetor was ever cleaned since new. All totaled, I spent (3) hrs dismantling, cleaning & reassembling that masterpiece. The fault was a stuck open float, but so much more needed a good cleaning.
Kathy & I took turns mowing & empting the wheelbarrow for the next (4.5) hrs. We mowed inside our circular drive, the (2) paths I use, the west side of our coach & the alleyway. We wanted to get it done before the rains come in.
Dinner: Clam chowder with oyster crackers & cantaloupe. Kathy had white chicken chili.
Katrina returned our earlier call; she was driving to meet some friends & had only a few min to talk. She told us her hot water tank is working well; she took a (12) yr guarantee on it. However, the roof leak is continuing; she got one estimate & plans to get (2) more.
We watched our prerecorded political programs.
Lights out: 11:48pm.
