Garage
Lots of changed plans. The mower refused to start. I suspect the module or the carb. A few days ago I discovered the El Camino windshield squirters did not squirt. Grumble grumble, so I bought a new pump. It just sits underneath the wiper motor cover, and shoves up into it one aligned just right. Of course it is impossible to see, and hard to get into position. So I had to squat for an hour trying to get the new pump up into position.

The Boss's wife insisted we clean the Koi pond filters, as the F*****G Siberian front is come to visit. We will have over 100 hours of below freezing temps. It was 61 degrees and Sunny yesterday. The pond filters were cleaned, and all ready for cold weather. 30 minutes later I went to the recycle bin to throw out a plastic bottle and I noticed the pond pump was not pumping. It was about sunset, and I check the breaker in the garage, and it was in the tripped mode. I could not get it to turn off, to reset it. More cussing and that meant I had to replace a breaker.

I was exhausted from squatting over the squirters, and the filter cleaning that requires moving paving stones and lots more squatting. The breaker replacement was a this morning project. I went to Lowe's and looked for a while until a employee actually showed up to help me find Type BR215 breaker compatible with breaker box. She cheated and used her employee app to punch in BR215 and it told her just where it was.

I got that replaced and all is happy now with the pond and the sprinkler system, and most important the wife. Phew.
