Good evening guys,
My weekend has been plentiful of things not going right .

Fuggin welder worked then it didn’t 🤦‍♂️ the generator did the same trick on me .
however I was able to convince it to work (needs a new carb as the choke shaft broke and it was flapping about ). A bit of thick strimmer cord stopped it closing and choking the engine 😂😎

the welder beat me yesterday as my patience got thin because time was also running out.
But I got it to work today, but somehow power setting 1 & 3 seemed to have switched around 🙄🥱 dam 3way switch’s and wiring
Then the gas ran out before I,d finished welding 🤷‍♂️🤦‍♂️

Wow. It's actually raining. After about 2 weeks of predicted rain, its raining. I'm pretty dang pleased with myself for mowing this morning and oh crap I need to go get the smoker under cover!

Edit: double wow! Apparently the wife already moved the smoker for me. I should do something really nice for her, very soon.

Edit #2: the nice thing she wanted was a margarita, so here's my recipe:

In a cocktail Shaker with plenty of ice, combine

2 fl. Oz Tarantula Azul (a tequila-based liqueur)

1 fl. Oz Cointreau

Juice of 1 lime

Shake until your fingers are numb.
Optionally sing a Santana song (i usually do "Evil Ways", but dancing to "Soul Sacrifice" is even better.) or play mariachi music. Los Lobos is another good choice.

Strain into a chilled Old Fashioned glass.

FFS do not do anything involving internal combustion engines, power tools or firearms. Also, contacting long lost friends or lovers may not be the best idea.
