Last weekend I broke out the mower; standard spring maintenance. Sharpened the blade on the grinder, cleaned the deck, changed the oil and the air filter, ran some Gumout through the air intake, and we are ready to go.

Cut the grass, first time. I already put the crabgrass preventer/fertilizer down two or three weeks earlier. Only got two bags of clippings, even with pulling the last of the stray leaves out of the flower beds.

It was good to get out and do some yardening. And we broke out the grill for some burgers, brats and beers for the 1st Q of spring, too!

Now we just need some Cub games on the TV in the garage....

Yeah, I’ve got to get dinner started. Will check back later.
One reason I posted, I got in a hurry years ago and stripped plug threads on a nice little Troybilt pushmower once. Ouch.

Sir! That is *not* “Q”. That is “grilling out.” A worthwhile endeavor, to be sure, but not Q.

Q involves low and slow, often with pork, but sometimes with beef (especially brisket or ribs) or chicken.

Thus ends the lesson.
