Gas powered...just a smaller one that isn't self-propelled.
Dang...I've been wondering ever since I left there if I shoulda bought it. I wonder if it'd be gone by now.
If he'll start it and it starts easy, get it. Under fifty bucks is a good deal. Those simple mowers without a lot of self-propelled gadgetry on them also have pretty simple engines and less things to fail. A tune up is basically a new spark plug and a bit of oil.
Was it van-able or do you want me to take you in the truck?
Or - if you want to preserve your cash for other priorities... We really don't mind you borrowing ours for awhile...
Well...guess I'll head back down there agin, then. Or were you guys wanting to do something and leave Mae with me?
I could go quickly...know where it is now.
We're not riding today... doing other errands. Maybe tomorrow afternoon...
Heh....that was the one.
Now I can't get it to boot.
Threaten it with a hammer, that works sometimes.
I think she went off to get that mower... back in a bit I reckon.
I'm stopping for a late lunch anyway.
The Cubs are behind 10-0 and I've got a race on. Miss Cat is acting like she's starved for attention. I think she's jealous of the computer.
I thought I was doin' pretty good getting all the fans running. :)
Well, it's a start... but a computer makes a better computer than it does a fan, so I hope you can get the rest of it going... :~D
I suppose :~D
Still stormy rainy there?
Right now it's just cloudy and gloomy. Some birds are having fun splashing around in the water that's standing in theyard
It was thirty five bucks...figured it's probably worth that. Doesn't have a bag, but I guess I can rake for a bit.
He started it. Took three tries, but once it started it sounded fine...so maybe just a matter of it having been sitting a short while.
I guess I'm leaving it in the van for now. Don't have much of anywhere to put it until I put a tarp up or find out about that storage shed.
Any chance the processor isn't all the way seated? Or has a bent pin?
I didn't unseat it when I took the board out of the old case. I've pushed it a little and it seems like it's on there. I can check again.
Maybe the weather will be nicer by tomorrow.
Want me to come over and help get that tarp up and look at yer new mower?
If you mow frequently, you don't need the bagger. I never bag ours. The clippings disappear if you don't wait till it's tall...
Three tries to start it is fine... takes that long to get the gas into the lines if it's been sitting.
