You ever have one of those days?
Yesterday started off well enough, just to end up like crap.
On my Toro Z, I noticed the seat (butt cushion part) was a little loose, no big thing; just fix it when I finish for the day, right? As I am driving home, I get hit with a nice gust of wind, and feel the trailer catch it. Get home, and BAM, no seat cushion. "FML" I think to myself, and spend the next two hours driving/walking up and down country roads looking for my seat. Nothing.
Then, to top it all off, I go do my walk-behind account, and my trimmer dies. Starts, makes a funny noise, and bam, the head and a chunk of metal from the crank case both fall off at the same time, like an over dramatic Hollywood death scene. It was a 10 year old husky, so it really didn't owe me anything, but if it could have waited a couple of days, that would have been great!
So I ended up buying a Sthil FS110R (LOVE IT) and it turns out the dealer had a spare butt cushion for $25.00. So while it it was still a $400.00 day, It could have been worse.
