'What a day' is the only phrase that can sum up what happened to me last Friday. After the softball team practices it is my job to drag the Field, so i do that and to be honest I really enjoy it. Some days I take longer than others depending on how much homework I have, if there are people still there and what I feel like at the time. Well Friday i was feeling good I had all the time in the world and was in no rush at all. So I drag the Field and take my sweet time, go over it a couple of times- it looks good and I feel accomplished(really that's all it takes). I head to put the drag machine back in its rightful place- the shed. . .when all of the sudden it dies, stops right there in the middle of no where!!!! First thought- CRAP its my first week and I just broke the drag!!! Second thought well, maybe its just out of gas- check it out- yep so empty you can see the bottom of the gas tank. Well all the gas cans were empty, I tried to push it myself- no luck. Just then the bus drops some kids off, one of them is in my chemistry class, he is nice enough to stop, he could probably tell i was in need of help. We start to push this thing that weighs a ton, literally, up a slight incline to the shed. Luckily for us a kid that drives the campus bus stops and helps us the rest of the weigh. . ..OH MY GOODNESS!!!! What a hassle, I feel so lucky to have been able to move after pushing that thing. I'm so very grateful for those two guys that were nice enough to stop and help a girl out!!!!!!
Advice from dad given a little late, but hey at least I know now- 3 things you check before run anything like that: 1- GAS 2- OIL 3- Tire Pressure. Thanks dad, I will never not do that!!!!
