Yes, a follow up to my leaf blower question. I'd rather move on and
learn from this. I *do* know that 2-cycles require a proper mix of oil
in the fuel, and I *did* read the manual, but I managed to screw it up
for a variety of reasons.

Given that I'm not the only person with a busy life and crazy-ass
distractions, how do YOU try to make sure that you get the right oil
mixture in your yard tools?

I don't use enough "mixed" gas to make large batches so I buy those 6 packs
of the oil, one of which when added to 1 gallon or so of gas makes the
proper mixture. I can almost use it up before the season is over. I also now
label the gas can as to what the mix is for along with when I mixed it.

All manuals now go in a manilla folder that contains nothing but tool
books/rcpts/info.
