So....I got the clearance to buy a serious toy- a Kawasaki Mule! I've wanted one for a long time. In fact, I've convinced myself I NEEDED one! I convinced myself I could almost pay for one outright and, if I sold my Honda ATV, the cost isn't that much, and it would be so much more productive, and....and...and...
The day arrived to drive to pick it up. It was 3 hours from home, but I was willing to do it, since it would save me about $600 to make the drive. I took care of some stuff around the house and was feeling pretty righteous about the entire affair. My last chore was some trimming with the chain saw (then I was on my way!). Don't you know the stupid chain saw would not start, so I took it to Doug, in Zebulon. But the weird thing is, when I loaded up my F-250 to take it down there, my truck battery was dead! (The F-250 has TWO batteries.) So, I took my back up truck ('89 F-150) and put the charger on the F-250. So far so good. But, Doug can't get to my chain saw today- no satisfaction there- and when I get back, the batteries are still dead. After two hours on the charger, the diesel cranks up and I'm re-thinking my game-plan.
So...do I really want and need the expensive toy? Not really....sigh!
