If it’s spring, then I must be trying to start the lawnmower.

I'm a good ole Canadian Boy that vlogs (video blogs) moments in my life. The premise is that when I'm really old and forget how to feed myself, I can still look back and remember.
Variety! Perhaps I'll just gab about my day, or perhaps we'll talk about family, sports or whatever. I also have an artistic side, I like to experiment with different methods or points of view.
You'll find a little of everything here.

I know I shouldn’t but I laughed and laughed!
I’m sure I said this last year, but those manual push mowers are the best….just as easy to push as a gas or electric and cut the grass just as well. And they always work.
Sure, sure… rub it in again.
Ether, Mike - Ether! It’s the solution to all things internal combustion.
I’ve left my POS mower out in the snowbank for the last 4 winters and it never fails to start on about pull 4 with a good old shot of “first start of the spring” ether down the carb throat.
That first start is always the worst…it’s all easy going from there.
8022 is the magic number, eh? I got a huge giggle at this — sorry it was at your expense — but at least you got it started! I was worried when that string flew out. I wouldn’t know WHAT to do at that point!
LOL, this is definately a funny one! Yeah, usually when I am ready to mow my lawn, I fill it with gas, then I pump the primer button about 10 times (at least).
Usually starts after the third or fourth pull. If it’s taking you that long to do it, I would suggest pulling the spark plug and make sure it’s clean. You might consider
replacing the spark plug anyway, although I have had mowers last for years and I have never changed the plug or the oil.
