Time to cut the grass

[HereWeGoAgain]

I had moles a few years back. I can tell you those battery powered stakes are useless. They attract rather than prevent. I have found a granular deterrent that you sprinkle around the holes. It is called MoleMax and it works great--takes a few applications but they left three years ago and I haven't seen them since.

This method always appealed to me....

A friend of mine with a gopher problem did that with gasoline some years ago. Problem was, he lived next to a field and when he lit it off, it started a fire in the field. His response was "Oh shit" LOL

I've mowed 3 times already but really only 1 of thos etimes was necessary. The first mow was to clean up leaves and keep the battery charged. The second time was to spur growth. The third time was to unspur growth.

I mowed mine last week.
During the off-season, i moved and went from about a third acre lot, to over 4 acres.

I need a tractor

Yep. Probably.

Old MacHarley had a farm....

Sounds like he ran over his foot. LOL

Heh heh. Maybe.

Seriously, though, that's cool that he moved onto some land.

I got out of the city eight years ago and moved to 20 glorious forested acres. I couldn't be happier.

I gotta clean the garage and work on the mower but I figure on mowing next weekend or the week after.

Thrilling news.

Boy talk.

Imagine mowing the yard in early April. We just had snow on the ground on Monday. **sob**

Why do I live here? Why

Four Seasons?

Welp, I got the garage in a lot better shape, but it still needs work. Changed the plugs and the air filter on the riding mower and charged the battery until the charger said it was charged. Still wouldn't start. It cranked over good for about 10 seconds and then gave out. The battery is four years old so I got a new one for 29 dollars and it fired up! Now I only need to sharpen the blades and maybe change the oil and filter. The book says change it every 50 hours and it's got ten more to go. I'll check it out tomorrow.

The push mower fired up after a shot of starter fluid so it's good but the tiller is another story. I doused it with starting fluid and it starts but won't stay running. So that means it ain't getting fuel. A good guess would be the carb is gummed up. I'll deal with it after I mow friday.

Four Seasons?

Yes but they're whacked. Winter until end of April, Spring is until end of June, and summer is July-mid-October. Fall is one month if you're lucky. And way way too much of the year here spent at a grey overcast and 40 degrees.

As you can tell I just don't love the climate here

Where you be?

 

[SweetSue92]

Where you be?

Michigan. Not way up but far enough up that the above is true. When I was younger we had hard winters, but also real springs and falls and mostly at the proper times.

Whatever happened to kids cutting lawns during the summer?

I have yet to have a kid come up to my door and offer to cut my lawn.

I contemplated getting a service last year but they wanted some ridiculous amount per month for their service.

Not that I can't afford it...but FFS...you're not resodding, you're just cutting the shit.

I just cut it myself.

In recent years, grown men have been knocking door to door with a push mower.

It's a sad state of affairs.

While I wouldn't put it in my cars, fuel stabilizer is good for those small motors. Which I supose you already know.

Took about four yanks to get my pusher running the other day when I cut the high spots.
