Change

Well today was a bit cooler than what the weather has been like for the past few weeks. I guess that is why I was feeeling a little down today. That and my trading has dipped a bit. I am in some trades now that look like they will do ok though.
I worked on the Cub Cadet lawn mower trying to figure out why it was showing discharge all the time. I disconested the battery and it kept running so I knew it was charging. So in my endless logic I figured that I had some how got some wires reversed, so I reversed what I thought might be causing the problem. The end result is that now the mower does not run after I diconect the battery. So I blew a fuse, or worse, melted something of importance in the charging circuit. Also my Chain saw is not running any more. It started running lean while I was cutting the other day so I figured the filter in the tank needed cleaned. Now I need a new gas line after my attempt to clean it. They don't make this brand of saw anymore so I had to order the special molded gas line for it off of the internet. At about 10 bucks shipped. I am pretty sure that was not why my saw was not running right. So when I get the new line I will start trying to fx the original problem. Our car has been leaking power sterring fluid for about 6 months. I am so afraid of tying in to it to try and fix it. I am confient if I do, I will need a new front end for the car, or something more expensive, by the time I am done working on it. At the time, I am lacking suffcient self confidence to accomplish much more than flufing my pillow on the bed. I think it's a slight slump of depression. I a few days I'll be right as rain. I hope.
An intersting thing to record is Nyle has a saying now. He will sat, "What time is it?" Then he goes down stairs and looks at the bedroom clock. He comes back up here and no matter what the time really is, he says, "It's 7 oclock! That's wrestling time!" and then we werestle. Our wrestling is- he pushes on me, and I on him trying to push each other off of the bed. Seeing how I out weigh hime by about 230 pound, I win a lot of the times. But he just enjoys a little ruff housing with the ole man, and I with him.
Owen is still a rumpy baby, when he is awake, which isn't very much. He sleeps a lot. He too is suffering from alergies and gets in to a chocking gaging fit sometimes. This state is bad for alergies. I have problems here too.
Well, I guess that is all for now. Not much happy happy today. Maybe a better day tomorow.
I hope.
