Have you ever had one of those days, where nothing seems to go right? I must have the worst luck when it comes to small appliances, etc. Today a friend comes over to help me replace the burners in my gas grill - I bought the wrong ones - ugh. So upon inspection I notice the ignitor is rusted out - the burner covers are rusted - the grates have seen better days - now mind you - this is only about 5 years old. I do leave it outside in the winter - big mistake in our upstate New York winters. I guess the cover doesn't do its job. After pricing out the parts it was cheaper to buy a new grill, so off to Lowe's we go.
Brought the grill home, cooked dinner on it, and then decided to continue to mow the lawn (took a break for diner) and guess what? The mower won't start. I just couldn't believe it! Looked all over - took it apart- and found a splice in the wire, so what do I do? Head off to Home Depot to look for parts. No such luck. Priced lawn mowers and headed to Lowe's - of course the same cashier is still working :-) and I said I'm back mower just died. They didn't have parts of course. So wound up getting a new lawn mower! First week of my summer vacation and had to get two new appliances for the backyard! Everything goes in three's - so I am keeping my fingers crossed but, if something else goes I hope it's something small like a toaster. Hope everyone else had a better day :-)
