Yesterday was once again, mowing day. Weather cooperated although it was pretty damn warm.

Also, as usual, one of the pieces of lawn gear had a mechanical. Wound up spending the better part of three hours trying to get it running again to no avail, it needs a carburetor.

I had about half the edging when it quit so I got out the trimmer to duit. Not so fast there, brother, the damn thiing wouldn't start. It doesn't get used much now that I have a crew do the trimming for me. But, everything checked out and guess what, it also needs a carburetor! Story of my life, I swear. Came in and ordered the replacements.

By then it was about 1700 and I hadn't even started mowing yet. Jumped on the Scag and I saw first hand what fertilizing and lots of irrigation will do in the spring time. It must have grown four or five inches in six days.
