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.

blue cans are for kerosene. not the end of the world, but its still best
to
put gas in red cans so someone else doesnt get confused. just get a
small
1 gallon can and mark it well with the gas/oil ratio you are using it for.

And I would like to add: ALWAYS CHECK THE COLOR OF THE
GAS BEFORE PUTTING IT INTO YOUR CHAINSAW....

Sometimes the wife may do you a favor by straightening up the
garage and putting things where she thinks they belong. If you
always check for a "blue" tint, you'll be doubly certain...
