)No, there was a broken bolt in the crankshaft of the lawn mower. The fucking over-priced John Deere lawn mower. That hunk of annoying crap. The fucking blade fell off, hub and all, because the bolt sheared off. It would be a more annoying mower if I had actually bought it. It was dead as a doornail when it was given to me, in all its dead one-year-old glory, so I laid hands on it and raised it from the dead, a feat I have had to repeat with it several times.
Fortunately, with the hub off, I just could grab the broken end of the bolt. It was finger-tight for the first two threads, but by then I had enough to fasten a gription device to for complete extraction. I took the dead end to the hardware store. Fortunately, my favorite hardware buddy in all the world was working this afternoon, so we had fun while finding a lovely grade 8 bolt to fasten all this shit back to the crankshaft. I got home with all my crap, pulled out my new fasteners, my old mower, and my hand tools. Fifteen minutes later, I was putting tools away and commencing to cut grass. It's all done now
The neighbor was going to lend me his, but it's dead, too.
I'd lay hands on it, but he's Jewish and doesn't believe in resurrection, so he's on his own.
We have Thunderstorms too!
We really do not need them. This is the type of weather pattern that causes some of these giant trees to fall, the wet ground just will not support the shallow rotting root systems.
