My husband asked ME to program the new tach he installed on the riding mower last night. (He wanted to be able to control the RPM on the engine and keep track of the hours of run time for the mower so we can perform maintenance at the right times.)
The fact that he STARTED installing the tach 20 minutes before we usually eat dinner didn’t seem to occur to him as a possible problem. I finally got the tach programmed and THEN he wanted ME to back the new mower into the shop. I told him I didn’t feel comfortable and would rather learn earlier in the day and going forward, rather than backward. He insisted, so I did the best I could.
I did go FORWARD, though, and then managed to figure out how to do the zero turn feature, so I was then able to drive it VERY jerkily into the shop.
Fixing turkey sandwiches for dinner at 9pm was super annoying.
SO – I’ll show you the present I ordered for him weeks ago. It got lost in the mail, so the person made us a second one and I received it yesterday –

It is now sitting on his radio on the shelf above his computer in the office.
Mother Nature really has her nose out of joint lately, doesn’t she – with earthquakes (I was reading they had had 5 in one week!) in California; DEBBY in Florida and now up the coast, bringing wind and torrential rain; and OUR weather which is forecast to be 102 today with a heat index of 108. Maybe we should all get together and see if we can ‘talk her down’ or arrange for some kind of calming meds –
I’m really grateful that I can complain from the comfort of a dry, air-conditioned house, totally spoiled as I sit and type at my computer. What a lucky person I am!
A quiet day is hoped-for today. I wish you the same. :0)
