Well, my lawn may be dying from lack of water, and it may be full of weeds, but at least it’s mowed.
I took my mower to a new repair shop last week. When I took it in, I asked the guy if they did repairs. He said they only fixed certain brands and asked me what kind mine was. I said I thought it was a Toro. He asked if it was a Toro, or a (some other “T” brand), because they fix one of those, and not another. I had my mower out in the truck, so I ran out to look. It’s a Bolens. To his credit, he didn’t laugh or roll his eyes.
When I described the problem to him, also to his credit, he knew exactly what was wrong with it, unlike the other guy. He said I had dirt in my carburetor. They’d have it fixed in a week, and they’d give me a call, he said.
It took less than a week, and it runs like a dream. Thank you, new lawn mower place.
I know how you mixed up the name – it sounds so much like ‘Bolero’. Bolero/Toro, whatever.
Your yard looks great. You could work in a cemetary as a groundskeeper. (A rabbit cemetary.)
I wonder what your neighbors think when they see you lying on your stomach taking pictures of your grass.
This would also be a good position for “taking out” annoying little rabbits!
OK, without looking – Brad, what color is your lawnmower?
Whew, I thought it was your new haircut!
HAHA!! (complete with the 5 hair bangs)
BRAVO! hehehehe
So glad to hear you found a reputable local lawn mower place. Of course, you are now going to SHARE the name, location and telephone # of this person with your former principal who was also taken to the cleaners by the previous stupid rotten lawn mower repair place/person, right?
Speaking of dirty carburetors, next time you’re on campus, come over to see me so I can tell you my Subaru panic and Fluffy the Pit Bull story. There really is a connection to dirty carburetors…sort of…
