Mower Repair & Pre-Sale Gym Membership

August 17th, 2014 at 11:59 pm

Our lawnmower wouldn't stay running. DH had to take it the repair shop. He picked it up this last week. $146 for a new carburetor. Ouch!
We were told that to prevent this from being a problem in the future we cannot use "cheap gas". (Who knew?)
It was recommended that we only use Chevron Supreme in the mower.
(I hope that helps any other mower owners out there.)

------
A new health club is being built in our city. They are running a pre-sale special that has the rates about 50% less than regular.

DH really wants to get back into the gym again. Unfortunately this club doesn't offer racquetball (for the sake of his knees maybe that's not such a bad thing).

The cost for our entire family with the special rate is less than the single member rate at the club we had used previously. And the special rate is locked for the length of the membership. If me or the kids end up not using the club we can suspend the additional memberships (me, DD, DS) and reactivate later still keeping the promo rate. At the minimum we can get DH in there working out a few times per week and squeeze $35/month into the budget. We can cancel anytime without fees, so we felt like there wasn't any risk to giving it a try.

    I think I have heard that lawnmowers require a "richer" gas. I'm just thankful I don't have to mow a lawn any more!

    Monkey Mama said your family would have been somewhat near the earthquake. Are you all okay there? Hope so.

    CCFree - That is so sweet of you to think of us. Smile We were out of town so we totally missed the all the excitement. No damage of note anywhere in our town or the city I work in.
    If you've seen any pictures you've seen the damage in Napa, but not much anywhere else.
