Success

I worked on the tiller again but the gas smell was strong. Discovered that the choke was stuck closed. The manual (I finally resorted to reading it) had the chock control backwards. Sheesh. Got it running and tilled the garden.
I then tackled my shop vac and got that working again. It just needed a good cleaning.
I then got a bucket of grass out of the flower beds. Now that the flowers are cut back, they are easier to see.
It is supposed to get very cold Sunday so I am glad to get all tlhis done today. Maybe B and I can wander a bit tomorroe
