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?

First, you buy two completely different looking containers. I have a big
one for the mower, small one for the gas/oil mix for the chainsaw and
snowblower.

Great suggestion. I wanted to get another color, but the only one at Ace
besides red was blue, and then only for 5-gal cans.

Next, buy oil in a container that has a measure. Got mine at Wal Mart. It is
a two section thingies and you squeeze the bottle and fill the reservoir.
Markings tell you that you have enough for one gallon, etc. No math
involved. Dump the oil into the container, then take it to the gas station
to fill putting in the proper amount. I mix one gallon as I use little of
it in a year.

Yeah, I've now seen those containers. That is a great idea.
