I've changed the sparks plugs, replaced the filter and given it a new rotory blade. What ever the issue is it is with the motor itself. As soon as I find somewhere local that fixes mower motors I'll get it checked out.

Good work.

Look for the local motorcycle mechanic. They'll generally have an idea.

I survived the Permian and all I got was this t-shirt.

We'll see what international travel looks like in the cold wave.

It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; because there is not effort without error and shortcomings; but who does actually strive to do the deed; who knows the great enthusiasm, the great devotion, who spends himself in a worthy cause, who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement and who at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly. So that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.

We have a house inspection in a couple of weeks which is cool because our place is nearly always clean thanks to Matador's OCD. But our lawns are another matter. They were fine but then our mower died, then the mower we borrowed died, then there was a run of 35+ days were I wasn't going to do the lawns, and you can't mow after 6pm which is when it cools down, then it started to be rainy everyday and as a result my backyard is the amazon and my front lawn isn't going to win any tidy neighbourhood awards. I think I'm going to have to do something housewives around the world always do when they run out of acceptable options -I'm going to have to get a man in.

Check the spark plugs.

Close all windows then reboot. Defrag the engine, maybe do a Garrus scan.

A derailed freight train between a romantic weekend and me. Of all the places that train could have gone off the tracks.

but are they worth preserving?

Sleepy and I have a headache I just can't get rid of. Taken painkillers, drunk a couple of bottles of water and it's still sitting just behind my eyes. Oh well, 3 hours of work to go!
