On the way up here we passed by Lima, OH. I've always wondered how it was pronounced, like the bean or like the city in Peru. With the radio on I heard a few people say the towns name. Now I know that it's pronounced Lima like I figured it was.

Lawnmower repaired. Original problem of it not starting was air filter was soaking wet from all the rain. Thee the string popped. Then return spring broke. Replaced thingy today. Hard to pull string. Why? DUH! Wasn't holding down brake release. Started up but with wet air filter was just puttering along. After cutting grass for a few minutes it finally got up to speed. At least the front is cut now. 9 years for a propelled walk behind mower isn't THAT old, is it?

Tried to have a relaxing evening mowing the lawn only to have the string pop and then during repair have the return spring break. Ordering new part would take too long before trip. Probably have to get one from Houma. Oh the fun of home ownership.

Cleared the code that was in the Corolla and it hasn't popped up yet. It was a P0420 I think. According to the Haynes manual it's a Catalytic Converter System Fault. I'll look into it and see if it's common and in the mean time hope that it doesn't come back. Power door locks in the front would be next repair.

One of the few problems I have with the new Corolla is the A/C wasn't blowing cool air when I was stopped at lights. Quick research and similar problems say it's the radiator fan now working properly. I got outside, pop the hood, look at the fan, spin it by hand then notice something odd. There were no cables going to the fan. Hmmm, I wonder if that's the problem.... After a quick look around the engine compartment I see the cable was laying loose right by the fan. What might have happened was the supports to hold the cable broke and the connection wiggled loose. I plug the fan back in and start the engine. TADA! Fan works, A/C is cool at idle, I am happier now that I know I should have decent A/C in the car. Now to look at the Check Engine Light that came on earlier.

I was watching The Matrix earlier. Ever notice the heros and villans in action movies always seem to withstand anything thrown at them taking all kinds of pain like it's nothing. But what amazes me is that with all this superhuman strength they still CAN'T HIT THEIR TARGETS WITH A GUN!!!!!!

Even though I was awake early I went back to sleeper that I normally would on a weekday. After that it was grass cutting time while Lisa was pulling weeds in the garden. Cooling down period was sitting on the front bench drinking down some traditional American beer, aka Budweiser, in the cooler than recent breeze. Now to relax.
