Repair Tip of the Day

By -
First off, repair shops for lawnmowers are terribly busy around the first cut of the season. I would recommend getting a jump on that and testing your lawnmower a couple of weeks before you feel you'd need to cut the lawn. Otherwise, you may end up sans lawnmower for up to 3 weeks! Then, even if your mower is under warranty, you end up having to pay to have someone else do your grass. Then, if your lawnmower did go in, make sure that even if they tell you there is no gas, but say nothing about the oil, that you check to see that they put your oil back in. Or...you could be into another trip to the shop, especially if it is Sears and they didn't put it back in!

I simply don't recomend purchasing anything mechanical from Sears. Cheaply made products, bad service...I simply don't have room on this blog for all my complaints about Sears.

Nice use of the word "sans." Interesting to note for the font geeks that sanserif means without serif (the little things that stick out from words, usually on typed stuff - ex. Times New Roman). Also interesting, in Spanish they use the word "sin" (pronounced seen) to mean without as well. Go latin roots! Ok, these were interesting to me, but I don't promise that you will also find them interesting.

Post-Run Tip of the Day

By Stephanie -
This is a tip for those who might run where giant swarms of gnats sometimes loiter by the side of the road. This tip stems from a run on the Mayan Riviera in Mexico, but I've encountered swarms of gnats in Virginia and Kentucky as well. After your run, always stop and look in a mirror before going into public. Otherwise, you might actually complete a transaction at the resort store and greet five people before realizing you have up to 15 gnats stuck to your face and neck.
