All mean people should be gathered together and put into a detention facility. A nice one, not like Guantanamo, but isolated and concentrated none-the-less where they can be educated and enlightened on how hateful and mean they are. Then, the rest of us can coexist in peace. Love wins.

You're just getting stranger by the day, aren't you sugar?

Do you have any champagne left? Hair of the dog might help...

Think I'll go for a bikey ride after it warms up a little more. Only 59 outside but sunny. Think I need to get on Amazon and look for some long pants for biking, it won't be shorts weather much longer.

I just did my nice neighbor deed of the day. Had gone for a walk with the three youngest and saw the next door neighbors had friends over to watch the game (Hawkeyes). Instead of waiting to mow the lawn during nap time (2-3pm) I did it earlier to not disturb their party. Wasn't that nice? Especially considering this was the neighbor who broke my flagpole when I hung up an ISU flag after the win last year.

Anyone have a newer Huskvarna mower? It is auto start (auto choke, no priming--just pull and go) Ours either lost a part to the aauto choke or something, it wouldn't start yesterday and takes some monkeying to get it started.

I've heard Huskvarna has been dropping in quality over the last half decade or so, all their products.

Fresh gas? Also might be a dirty carburetor.

Yeah, but build quality should affect other things...small engines are pretty simple...I'd think it's something else.

Edit: well, it's not that they're simple...they're well understood.

That's fair. But if it is the automatic start, they could've used crap materials. I know our craftsman mower automatic start failed after one summer of use.

Possible good sign, little00 and I played kid's sequence against mrs00, and we dominated. 3 games, 3 victories in less than 5 turns.

Birdy: Would you let your 4 and 2 YO's wander the neighborhood by themselves? It amazes me that the people 2 doors down from us let them do it every weekend afternoon. They wander from house to house trying to find someone to play with. Also keep in mind, there's a peeper/attempted rapist like a block away from them.

Mid morning Saturday and I am still cranky about Friday sports. Didn't help to see that some ***-hole drove over the curb and onto the new topsoil and just sprouting grass seed in my front yard.

WTF I'm pretty sure you live in a nice neighborhood. One of your neighbors have too much drinky last night?
