Total frowny face. I was doing really good last week, I had thoughtful thoughts lined up a couple of day in advance so blogging was a breeze then I hit the weekend and ran out of juice. Hmmm…

I guess I could post a brief summary of my weekend. E and I ran some errands on Saturday then went to a lawn party in the evening. Sunday I mowed the yard and attempted to tune up the push mower (it’s idling rough) but it was exhibiting resistentialism so I failed. I think I”m gonna have to rebuild the carburetor on it which I was hoping to avoid. I still might be able to get away with properly gapping the spark plug but I doubt it’ll work.

Sunday was not a good day for working on things because it wasn’t just the lawn mower that was being obstinate. I also attempted to teach myself how to sweat copper pipe and that didn’t go very well either. I had a general idea of how to do it but it’s trickier than it looks. I practiced with a couple of straight couplings and some scrap pipe but  I only managed 3 out of 4 watertight connections. A 75% success rate is not very good in my book not to mention that the welds which were successful were ugly as hell. I need to review some YouTube videos on how to do it and practice some more. I guess.

That’s it for now, hopefully I’ll come up with some more blog ideas or it’s gonna be a slow week around thenextstopwillbe.com.
