This is not frequent but cost me a lot of money to learn about it. My LT-155 behaved similarly. When the problem started I would make two trips around the half acre and the tractor would die. After fussing with it for a few minutes I could get it started and finish the yard. By the time I called the dealer, It would started run a short time and then not started until the next day when we would go through the same thing. Prior to getting the dealer involved, I had checked everything I could think of including the vent on the gas tank, all of the interupt switches, gas flow etc. After several trips to the dealer, they replaced the condenser in the ignition system and all was well in nuttle land but with a little less cash.

Thanks Annie, I was hoping you'd be one of the "First Responders"! Goes to show how impaired either my device or my color vision is, the photo actually looks accurate to me! Eeek. Certainly, the pinky taupe of the paper is fairly close...I'll take a look @ Bone, do you have the number? I can't find it in my deck, but then, one of the boyz got jealous cuz I was spending too much time with Benjamin Moore and gnawed off some of the whites and historical colors...he's so cute : ) Alex, I will post a link or pics asap. I think it's brilliant, it's perfect for correcting inside corners that gape at the bottom. I detest coping in side corners, and got a terrific result with this and a mitred inside corner...which almost never happens, as you probably know : )

Ok, so my 15 minute design challenge became a 15 month design challenge--what can I say? My resident "Bed Accessories" keep me busy--plus I've added a 3rd, 'tho this one isn't a Basenji: every household needs one dog who does what they're told! Savannah is a lovely GSD/Husky/Collie X and is already adept at herding the other two : D I actually chose a textured handmade-unbleached-paperish wallpaper which I found totally by accident. In fact, I'm ashamed to say I almost knocked over a sharply dressed matron in my race to get to it before she did. The paper accents my cherry furniture perfectly, and I pulled a number of deer prints from storage and had them matted & placed in matching cherry frames Below is the result of everyone's suggestions! My original plan was to paint the walls to work with an existing bedspread, but as usually happens the project grew to include new wall lamps, biilding closet organizers (much easier than reading installation instructions on the kits!), replacement of all trim (thanks to Annie for the trim color!), new bedding and sewing coordinated window treatment & dust ruffle when I couldn't find them in exactly the right color. What do you think?

Thanks for asking, Moonie. I think about it a lot, but I don't see myself doing anything about it until next spring at the earliest. I think I mentioned on the KT that I was going to wait until I got my cataract surgery over with, and that hasn't even been scheduled yet (and won't be, as long as I'm being treated for Lyme). Then last month my finances took a big hit from several sides, and the last thing I need is vet bills right now. But another factor is the challenges that winter brings. I'm going to have to figure out how to deal with this issue before I get another dog. My dirt road (and much of the property) is always icy in winter, and after injuring my knee a couple of years ago I am no longer willing to fall every winter. So I can't do any dog walking. Over the years I've had dogs we could let out by themselves, but some of my neighbors up the road ruined that idea when they started letting their large, aggressive dogs run free. My property is their favorite toilet, apparently, and they once attacked Wolfy in my back yard, giving him a serious wound in the throat. I have 31 acres here, but I feel as though I don't dare let a dog out by himself. When I had Angel and Wolfy I dealt with this by letting them out the back door in winter on a 25' horse lunge line, with me keeping watch. I suppose I would do this again. But this winter, with my Raynaud's Syndrome as bad as it is, I'll be somewhat relieved not to have to repeatedly open an outside door and unhook cold metal leash fasteners. Life is complicated. :-/ Glad to read the good advice and support you've received on this thread. PS: As long as I'm here, did you see my mention that I was surprised this week by a childhood friend popping in to visit me at work? Her maiden name was Clark.
