Clusterfucktard. You know one, I bet. Maybe you know a whole family of them.

So Saturday I decide to mow the backyard. It’s been unmowed a long time due to the mower having problems, and me having zero ambition to do so.

I took my time, and did a little at a time. That was facilitated by the mower running out of gas five times. The right front wheel falling off. The blade becoming disengaged with the rest of the mower. I would mow for a little while, and then something would fall off, and mow for a while, and run out of gas, then mow for a while, and another part would fall off, and I’d end up running to the repair shop, and then I’d mow for a while, and the mower would run out of gas again, and I’d take a break because I was breathing hard enough I thought I was likenly to die, and I’d mow a while, and then eat something, and mow for a few minutes, then have to run up the hill to get rid of ther recently acquired White Castle Sliders… Anyway, you get the picture. A quarter acre of nasty grass most of which was chest high, on a 40 degree slope, mowed by hand. By the time I came inside, I was done. I had no intention of getting out of bed again until noon on tuesday. In september.
But I hadn’t been to the Indy 1500 for quite some time, and I needed a full length recoil tube and buffer. Also, Rich met Partner and I at the show and returned my engine hoist- he borrowed it to work on his Mustang and is now done with it, I was glad it was getting a workout.

Anyway the show was nice but my feet came pre-hosed from the mowing yesterday, walking around the show didn’t help, and while I would have liked to meet up with some folks at the blogmeet, we decided to just go home.

Now I’m sore and tired and beat senseless, but I have actually accomplished a few things, so Monday will go a little better. Sorry, to all the folks I missed at the meet. I wish I could have been there, but I’ll come again someday.

Oh, the buffer tube: My friend will be manufacturing some AR stocks in wood, very soon, and I will be putting them on my rifle to do some destructive testing, so I will be posting about that as time goes on.
