Howdy Patriots...... 
Rain threaten all day..... a little light shower here and there...
I pulled out a sheet of 5mm plywood and cut the pieces I need for the interior....
Good timing..... started one of the little showers just after I put tools away. Quickly got the leftover plywood under cover in the shed....
Put the lawn tractor carb back together and bolted back in place..... Turned the key and nothing..
I have needed to put new terminations on the end of the battery wires for a long time. Broken strands of wire and corroded. So, I took the time to cut off the crimp on terminals... clean up the wires.... crimp on new terminals. Now the engine spun like a top and immediately started..... YIPPEEEEEE..... 
One minor problem..... I sprained my arm patting myself on the back....
.......
Minor sprinkle ended and I mowed the backyard......
Meanwhile I had pork ribs slow cooking on the grill..... Yummy dinner
Busy day Monday.....
Starts with an orthodontist appointment for Theresa at 0845.....
Meeting at 0930
HD 1230 - 2100
Too long a day........

Morning Sailor... you are correct - if it ain't one thing, it's 6 !! Gonna be losing my great toenail on RIGHT foot this time. Read about it in MD. GEEZ ! The one on the LEFT foot isn't but 1/2 way grown in.
Nice work with the mower....sounds like that TT likes it's spot on YOUR property better than it's owners.

Howdy to all the wild Cowboys and Patriots.......
55°F, cloudy and 10 mph breeze. Supposed to clear up and warm up to 64°F... Good day to work on the TT, but I'll be everywhere but home......
I think the lawn tractor need attention for a long time.... Ran much better yesterday than it has in a long time...
Long day at HD.... I'll be worn out by the time I get home...
The weather guessers say rain all day tomorrow...... Maybe I can get some inside work done on the TT before my HD schedule...
Enjoy a great day my friends......

Tasty Taco Tuesday Montana, Roy, Bud, Tim, George and all the Cowboy crew.
Big storm with lots a boomers, light show and 1.3 inches of rain after midnight here and more today.
Hope you get TT time and can send it packing.
I figured you would use the broken mower as an excuse to but one of the Battery models!

Morning Sailor ! Looks like the passes are getting white crap above 6000' over your way Roy. Winter Weather Advisory posted ! Knowing you aren't planning any trips over the mountains this day. Hope it's nice enough for you to complete that pesky TT soon.
