Ahh the smell of burnt plastic
I was using the weedeater and started to smell something. I turned it off and pulled the electric cord off and the cord was melting onto the prongs of the weedeater plug. I'm so glad it didn't catch fire.I had to scape the melted plastic off the weedeater plug so I wouldn't have to smell burnt plastic when I put the right extension cord on it. Now I get work on the other yard.

Yikes! That sounds like my psychotic hair dryer that used to throw sparks into my hair. I'm bald now. ;-)
Wigs are nice ;-)I'm just glad that I still have all my fingers because that's what the plug was next to ;-O
Yowza!! Hire someone, already! LOL
I don't have any of that fancy Canadian money that you say is worth so much more than US dollars ;-) besides it's like going to the health spa. Well except for the melting plastic and UV rays.
Those corded yard tools are so tricky... I almost cut through the cord when I was using an electric saw to trim tree branches last summer. In my efforts to steer the saw away from the cord, I almost chopped off my knee. Then I stayed inside for a month. And that is why my yard looks so bad.
Pam I'm so glad you are okay, that is scary. I thought I was so good yesterday because I was wearing solid shoes to mow, but today I was mowing with sandals ;-/
Will we ever learn?
