That could be the problem

does an ant colony indicate a plugged air filter on my cheap old mower?

red and black thatch ants ?


mower must have been struggling to idle

This is one of those $99, 15 year old mowers that has not seen a shed in 12 years – and won't stop running. It just ran a little slow!

LOL! The good news is that it was still running! ANd the filter did it's job...something tells me the filter cover kinda let some big pieces of grass in though..

Hehehe - I have seen some plugged air filters, but that one might just take the cake.

I'd hate to see what the oil looks like.

Ants likely raised the octane level

This is my latest in really astute observations and "House"-like diagnostic skills. See if you can spot the problem in these photos.

I think the technical term is "brokedicated".

Just one question - are dogs and cats living in harmony?

 

[Adios Pantalones]

These are accumulated over the past few years- often followed by cussing and injury

Overinflated wheelbarrow tire?

Overinflated wheelbarrow tire?

A little over inflated, a little worn out, a little overloaded

I had a trap like the one pictured. Didn't realize it was so bad as the pipe rotted, with the chrome outer plating still intact. Saw a drip on bottom of the trap, and went to wipe it with my finger and my finger went right through the chrome plating to find the piping rotted gone. PVC replaced it promptly, and no more rot worries.

Ya, I had a drip, and as I tried to take it apart it just crumbled. "Hmmm- that's a potential issue"

LOL, mine had the bonus "hair tube" inside. What a nice stanky treat....

I splurged on a foam filled wheel barrow tire and can't help but smile every time I use that sucker now.
Of course the smile goes away quickly with the load.

Ya, I had a drip

A friend of mine who is a Dr can help with that

This weekend I discovered a support for the porch that wasn't touching the ground. (all 4 were rotted, 2 weren't doing the slightest bit to hold up the porch)

Right there's your problem, see? You've got hocus-pocus posts. Now you see 'em, now you don't.




BTW A.P., I grew up on High Range rd. Haven't been to that burg in around 25 years. Town had about 9k people when my family moved there in 1977, and I think about 20k when I left in '87.

It's a small world, but I wouldn't want to paint it... I'm on Wiley Hill Rd, right off High Range!
