Could have been a big mistake....

Yesterday, I was planning on mowing the lawn. It sounded odd and was bellowing out plenty of blue smoke so I made one round and just stopped where I was. As I was telling Ladger about it, I mentioned putting in gas. He looked at me, "Did you say gas?" Certain episodes of Amazing Race came to mind as I sheepishly asked if the lawn mower was a diesel engine. So last evening, Ladger had the unenviable job of cleaning up that mess. Thank goodness I did stop when I heard it acting funny.

One thing I was curious about was how well the mower was marked as a diesel. It did have a sticker but up where one really wouldn't notice when fueling up. Needless to say I won't be doing that again!
