Last weekend was a holiday weekend where I was supposed to get a lot of yard work done. \u00a0Part of the yard work was to cut the grass, but alas I suffered the lawn mower woes. \u00a0You may recall in October 2013 a post that I wrote entitled “HTML Will not fix the Lawn Mower<\/a>“. \u00a0I followed the same steps that I wrote in fore mentioned post. \u00a0I cleaned the spark plug, squished the silver knobby thingy on the end and re-gapped it using my putty knife, but no luck. \u00a0I thought mmm… may be it is the gas ( old gas ), so I went to Canadian Tire and found an octane booster made from Jet Fuel; \u00a0That outta do it right? \u00a0 Nope! \u00a0 I was expecting a big bang and a really fast lawn mower or a really broken lawn mower, but nothing. \u00a0I am still suffering the lawn mower blues.<\/p>\n

I then decided to teach my 3 year old son about spark plugs and how they work and how they create mini explosions by igniting the gas. \u00a0He said, “May be the plug is broken”! \u00a0So; off to the store to purchase a 4 dollar spark plug. \u00a0Guess what… The 3 year old was right. \u00a0 Now he goes around telling everyone how he helped fix the lawn mower.<\/p>\n

HTML will not fix the lawn mower, but a 3 year old can! \u00a0No more Lawn mower woes!<\/p>\n

Time for a beer!<\/span><\/p>\n
