Unhappy $400 Day Off

Day off today so I thought I'd get some things done in the backyard before it got too hot. Lawn Mower quit working, was hoping that it would atleast finish the year. A mear $336 (Nice Husky self propelled), was going to drive the 79 that I haven't had out of the driveway in a couple weeks. Battery's dead............. That's the battery that was in my 01 that I wanted to change before cold weather got here and I couldn't get to or home from work. That was another $65.12. Can't wait to get to work tomorrow and quit spending money.
But both trucks are running, and I have a new mower for next season................

Geez, Todd. Your compassion is overwhelming...

Sorry about your rough day off, Bob.

If it helps you any, I'm taking half a day off from work to go have surgery this afternoon.

My out of pocket cost will be a bit more than $200.00, so maybe you're onto a formula. Who needs these expensive days off?

(The flip side is that I get to be stoned all weekend...legally, even.... )

That'll teach ya. If you'd been up late becoming a drunken retard on Friday night, you'd have slept in Saturday morning and saved yourself some cash.
