The New "What did you do with your Z today" (with off topic replies) XXXII

Morning all! Woo, Friday!

I have a small riding mower at home. Went to mow the lawn, and it was running rough, so I ordered up the usual wear item replacements - spark plug, fuel filter, fuel line, air filter, etc - swap those over, it's still running rough. Start checking over everything, and as I'm taking it apart, I see the breather hose is covered with tape (I bought the mower used maybe 2 years ago). Start unwinding the tape, and I see that the hose is basically completely decayed - cracked, broken, etc. What kind of moron tapes a $9 part instead of replacing it?? New one otw, but just surprised me.

Is a well your main source of water?

Kiddo is definitely on the mend. I'm still dealing with cough. Overall we're just happy to be home.
