How we can watch the outdoors
Where Joey is going
If we're alone
What Matthes says
What's up with Eli
Where herlings is running
If it's a 4 or a 2
How they do it in Europe
If James comes back
what JGR is up to
If Harley's are cool
How many watch nascar
That Seattle is dying
That someone is depressed
Or there is a bicycle race in California that nobody is seeing
I just want a riding lawnmower that doesn't have belts.

Better now.
Yeah, I see what u guys are going thru and I'm thinking, what am I worrying about.
That job you got going would have had me back on the marijuana by now.
Got almost an acre done tonight. Half the back yard. Was going pretty good. Took most of the afternoon fixing the mower deck. It was throwing the deck belt last year every now and then. Thought I'd be smart and replace all the belts for this season. Well, new belts and problem got like 3 times worse. After pulling the deck like 4 times it ended up
being one of the spindles, the things that the blades attach to, was tilted. Not much, but enough to put the belt pullys on the other end out of alignment. I must have hit something and bent the deck itself where the spindles bolt to. Wailed
on mounting holes and got it looking ok. Worked great for an acre.
Then, I made the mistake of pushing it. Like going out for that one last ride of the day. After refueling, was almost dark,
went out again and hit what looks like a piece of iron pipe. Jammed the blades, effing belts were smoking before I could shut it down. I don't know how that pipe got there. Grass is like a foot tall easy.
Alfred E Neumann time for this guy. That thing is sitting up over the hill. More rain coming in, 3 more acres to go,
I'm feeling screw it. I'll deal with it when the sun comes back out.
Time for some Ramones.
EDIT: Mean Green mowers was the name.
Never saw that seeare. Individual motors. Did a job for a golf course once. Now they had some serious mowers.
The pipe, like I said, clueless on that one. Destroyed a soccer ball also, right when I got started. Nice one, leather.
Looked like Wilson, just mutilated. Dunno where he came from either.
That's how deep it's getting, never even saw him.
Donna asked where the mower was, gave me that blank stare when I said, "over the hill".
Eh.

Really don't like the pin drop blade height adjustment. The Toro commercial mower has a better system IMO. I do like my Gravely though. 0 issues in two years out of it. Just change the oil and clean the air filter and you're good to go.
It rains for 2 days. It’s a swamp. Sunny for 3. Just almost enough to mow then it rains. I can’t even touch my back 4 acres. I can only cover my front 2. And still almost getting stuck in some spots so I avoid it. Nice cut grass in some spots and spatches of tall grass in others. The weather pattern or green runs straight from Texas northeast to Ohio. I catch all your Texas rain 3 days later. It’s miseravle!!!
Dogs are muddy to their bellies every time we play ball. (Labradoodles bee keeping them shaved down like labs cuz of this)Gettin old!!!!
When I moved back over to the Seattle area almost 5 years ago I thought I was older and wiser than before so I wouldn't get that seasonal affective disorder crap from all the clouds and rain, but I was wrong. One winter was enough for me to come back to the eastern side of the mountains. I enjoy my 320+ days of sunshine each year.
Yeah. That's what I got. Seasonal affective disorder. My new get out of jail card.
It's not that bad tho. We still have the 4 seasons. Winter, Winter Summer and Winter.
Hey Apple. Yer a pretty sharp guy. What's whatever chart you use is the sunniest town in Florida?
BTW - I just picked up a Gravely last fall. So far so good, but like reded, I too wear quite a bit of my lawn!
Here's my general location compared to yours, though. As you can see, our summers are relatively warm and very, very dry.
