Guess where I am today? I am back in the airport once again, heading to Arizona for another fun filled week. Here is what expired in the past week. Today in church, Heather was called and set apart as the Primary President. We are all very excited, trust me. We saw Rattitoule, Rattituouti, Rattattatta... the rat movie on Friday and it was very entertaining. I'm thinking about buying a rat and putting it to work in the kitchen but I don't think Heather would let me... haha. My new-ish lawn mower (7 horsey power!) stopped working after one good year of use. We debated just getting a new one, then I did what most men would do, scoured the hardware and lawn mower stores for new spark plugs, air filters, oil, fresh gas with gas stabilizers, new blade, etc. After changing all of this out and failing to get the beast to start I found the tiniest little metal spring that was simply "unhooked". Low and behold, this itsy bisty smaller and thinner than a paper clip device, once hooked up, keeps the massive 7 horsey engine running. So let's relive the moment, I'm red in the face, parts all over the garage, shirt and pants soiled with oil and gas and grass, and Heather looks down and says "what's that tiny spring thingy do, it looks like it is unhooked dearest...", "Are you kidding me? That silly spring thingy does absolutely nothing, let the big boys run the garage ok!...sheesh, like a little spring would fix this problem... of all the preposterous suggestions!" I say to the unwelcome meddler in my manly fix-it affairs. I then hook the meaningless spring onto the closest eye hole I can find, and in a height of arrogance to show how dumb an idea it is, I pull the cord and magically it starts and purrs like it did the day I bought it.... how embarrassing! Oh, the humiliation. So rather than admit that her suggestion fixed it, I state that all my efforts to revive the mower must have magically fixed it, it just needed some time to "cool down". hahah, silly girls and their suggestions. My flight is leaving, this blog entry has been made possible thanks to the Jet Blue free Wi-fi terminal in JFK. Hope you enjoyed the show.
