Common good calls for sacrifices

The Douglas County Department of Enlightenment and Coercion paid me a visit the other day, along with the Lawrence Office of Environmental and Social Supervision. Also in attendance were representatives of the Free State Bureau of Restrictions and the Pioneer Office of Entitlements. I counted 42 cars and trucks, each driven by a single individual. (Separate vehicles give individuals quiet time to dream up new regulations and growth prevention initiatives, I learned.)

A forklift was required to unload Vision 5050, the manual which the county has compiled to determine its future for the next 3,000 years. The purpose of the visit was to designate “viewsheds” on my property. I was informed of this by Officer of Visions, Walter Utopia, whose degree in Apolcalyptic Ecology qualified him to identify natural beauty and to fine tune the interactions of human beings with the environment.

I observed that for every worker, there were three supervisors. The first thing they did was to go on break. Within moments, the hillside was filled with sonorous snores. An hour later, a bell tinkled and the crew went to work, some carrying stopwatches to time their movements. (Union rules require that they make no more than 15 movements in a 60 second period, including yawns, blinks and scratches.)

The workers peered through V’s formed by their index and middle fingers, crying out, “Viewshed!” from time to time. After what seemed like an eternity, they had identified 17 vistas on my hilltop which qualified for protection. There was a small problem, Utopia said.

“Whereas, your house is blocking some of the views, it will have to be moved.”

“This all seems a bit subjective,” I said.

“That’s a demerit,” Utopia barked.

“But…but,” I sputtered.

“And that’s another one,” cried Utopia. Fifteen demerits would earn me a day in the pillory, where citizens would pelt me with rotten organic, locally grown, sustainable produce, he said.

“It may surprise you to learn that we know what’s best for you,” he said. “People like you don’t make our job any easier. By the way, the county’s Happiness Index has shot up since we’ve taken charge of everyone’s life. So shut up and don’t ask questions.”

After the scenic view search, the workers confiscated my weed eater, chain saw and tiller.

“According to the provisions of the county’s energy independence ordinance, use of the gasoline engine has been prohibited,” Utopia declared. “We must prepare right now for the day when the world runs out of oil. So get acquainted with your shovel and hoe. It will improve the air quality and your own health.

How to Replace the Primer Bulb on a Weedeater Lawn Mower

The primer bulb on a weedeater lawn mower is the mechanism that powers the weedeater engine by supplying it with fuel. It draws fuel from the fuel tank and deposits it into the carburetor so that your weedeater can function. If the primer bulb on your weedeater becomes damaged, it must be replace before you can properly power your weedeater again. Replacing the primer bulb on a weedeater lawn mower is a relatively easy process that only requires a few rudimentary tools.

Things You’ll Need

Replacement primer bulb

Screwdriver

Cloth

Air compressor (optional)

Flathead screwdriver

Step 1

Remove the cover of your weedeater by unscrewing the screws to the cover of the weedeater.

Step 2

Wipe the area surrounding the primer bulb clean with a cloth or use an air compressor if you wish to blow the debris away.

Step 3

Remove the screws that connect the primer bulb mounting assembly to the weedeater lawn mower.

Step 4

Slip the head of a flathead screwdriver between the base of the mounting plate and the weedeater, and press gently upward on the mounting plate to cause it to lift forth from the weedeater so that you can remove it.

Step 5

Push the old primer bulb out of the mounting place, and pop the new primer bulb within the plate.

Step 6

Place the mounting assembly back into place on the weedeater and screw it back into place with the screws previously removed.

Step 7

Replace the cover to the weedeater and screw it into place again.

Tips

Ensure that you purchase a replacement primer bulb that is compatible with your weedeater lawn mower; refer to your user manual if necessary for compatible parts and accessories instructions.

Warnings

Ensure that you securely screw the mounting assembly containing the primer bulb back onto the weedeater lawn mower so that it does not fall off whilst in operation.
