One of those days
- Garage door opener stopped working
- Spent an hour in Sears buying a replacement (worker was trying to give me a discount and instead rang it up so none of my credit cards would work)
- Leaf blower would not start
- Riding mower battery went dead
- Positive cable broke on the riding mower broke in half while installing a new battery (made a temporary using old MG cable)
- Stepped in dog shit while using the walk behind leaf blower
- Did I mention all this was done while trying to overcome a 10-day old cough/cold
In the end, I did manage to install a new door opener and get the yard cleaned.

The way to handle days like this is start drinking early and don't stop!

Poor Dave. 
All those broken things at once almost has to make you laugh it's so crazy, but I know stepping in dog shit really makes me angry. Being sick too, when things like that happen usually will make me just sit down and
.
But dog crap in shoes? The smell puts me in a mean zone. As a mom, I'd be the one to take the kids' shoes to the laundry room sink and use a toothbrush to try to get the crap out of the tiny little grooves before it was tracked all over the house, for me to clean up. Inevitably it would get flung back on me.
