You get papi’s mower cranked? What was it?
Guy called me in a panic cause he couldn’t get his grasshopper zero turn to start so he could get it back to the barn. Was using it, shut it down to go inside. Came back out, wouldn’t turn over. I’m driving the 100 miles to him & trying to figure out what’s up. Thinking starter or seat safety switch. Get there & check a few things. Sit in the seat & notice the big red button switch on the dash (blades engage) was pulled up. Pushed it down & it fired up. They won’t start or turn over with the blades engaged. I felt like a hero to him & he was a like a dumba$$ to me. A 3 hour round trip for a less than 5 minute fix. Didn’t charge him anything

I wasn't that lucky. Him and a family friend had that sucker tore down, I mean engine head removed. Lol
So I diagnosed best I could, and we came to the conclusion that my nephew, who was operating at the time, had inadvertantly choked it. Then attempted to restart a hot mower with the choke on. I ordered a gasket set for it and will put it back together next weekend and hope we were right.

Hubs and I sing this. If for no other reason than to embarrass our children (suggestive lyrics for grownups). Mark Knopfler has about the sexiest voice around.

Daddy's gone down that Knoxville road
The dog never barked and the cock never crowed
Oh, your daddy's gone to Knoxville now

He won't care about the score, but, the day itself and memories of dad, he'll always remember. I still remember my first Red's game and first Bengals game, 7 years old for both. Don't remember who they played or if they won or lost, but, I remember sitting their with my dad and remember the feeling that the day imprinted on me.

Good job daddy87, now, take him to some more this year!!

I'm gonna try. It's my daughter's turn. She turns 6 in 3 weeks. She's been asking when she gets to go, all summer.
