A little more looking and figured that the auto clutch was locked down\u2026 and then it appeared there was some push out on the plastic housing.. oh boy\u2026 I packed it up and made a couple stops to check repairs before <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>lunch<\/strong> and found it would cost about half of a new <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>one<\/strong> to get this fixed and might take weeks to get that done\u2026 and of course it was just off warranty\u2026 so rather than fight with it\u2026 I would just get a new <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>one<\/strong> after <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>lunch<\/strong> and pay the few bucks more for an extended warranty on the next one\u2026 <\/p>\n<p>Of course we had another exciting lunch\u2026NOT!&#160; and then I went back and picked up a new trimmer.&#160; I may try tearing the old <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>one<\/strong> down and fix myself or maybe not?&#160; I did get back to the Grass trim and got the rest of the clumps mowed down.&#160; <\/p>\n<p>On another note\u2026 I have been trapping sparrows that think they are going to invade the Blue Bird boxes I have\u2026 I have a neat little trap that fits in the <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>door<\/strong> and slaps the hole shut when they hop in\u2026 then I just get an old Wal-Mart sack, go open the <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>door<\/strong> enough so they fly into the sack and \u2026 poof or rather WHACK\u2026 they are gone.&#160; I am getting maybe 1 to 2 per day\u2026 and even with all that I have more than I can deal with\u2026 I did see , what I think were anyway, Purple Martins flying pretty high up this afternoon\u2026 might be they are moving through or checking out the available housing spots\u2026 once I see a few on the houses I have then I will pull the doors off so they can pick their apartments\u2026 for now I have to keep the damn sparrows out\u2026 <\/p>\n<p><a

too\u2026 <\/p>\n<p>Today, since it was supposed to be BAD weather, Sherrie didn\u2019t want her car out in the hail so I had to take here to work\u2026 which is ok, it gives me an excuse to not start

of the <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>storms<\/strong> on local TV\u2026 for 5 hours\u2026 or more\u2026I didn\u2019t stick with it\u2026 and the most annoying things is the cable <strong

and didn\u2019t have anything of substance on it other than the national weather service issued a warning\u2026 what was worse\u2026. our warning was for Creek and Tulsa county\u2026 ?&#160; what&#8217;s up with that\u2026 at least the cable could customize it a little so it only went off for Payne county and was only a bar on the screen with the verbal warning or something\u2026That think totally took out the <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>TV<\/strong> channels and you couldn\u2019t change channels when it went off\u2026 oh well, we were warned\u2026 <\/p>\n<p>So we have had our first real spring set of <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>storms<\/strong> and the <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>TV<\/strong> coverage for that blocks out everything else\u2026 sure glad
