“Did you ever get your mower knob fixed?”
Beau fixed it. I picked up the part the other day and of course had to take razzing from the shop owner and his crew. Later, they told me it happens more often than you’d imagine and they keep that part in stock at all times. :)
Looks like I need to mow again today, but having company today and rain tonight and tomorrow, so it waits. I’ll just say I’m doing it ‘for the bees.’ ;)
As an added bonus, they dumped 30,000 pounds of manure on the fields all around us - and we had those same winds yesterday plus 85 degrees.
It’s just feckin’ lovely. LOVELY. However, on the bright side, it’s cow manure and NOT pig! :)
Super glad your mower knob was a fairly ‘easy’ fix (minus the razzing LOL)!
Of all the manures, I think pig is the worst. Someone on the road to our county dump had pigs & I always had to roll up the truck windows & hold my breath when I drove by (no joke). Chicken houses, when cleaned out, are pretty nasty too. Cow is next (wind/heat/rain - yuck) & since I had horses, their manure ‘offends’ my nose the least. I wish I had some ‘aged’ cow manure right now - my SIL bought a couple of bags of the Black Kow stuff for her garden the other day (her dog was VERY interested) ... I think I’m good without it this year.
Back to the mowers - the throttle & choke on my little garden tractor mower are sticking. If the choke is stuck, it won’t start. I leave the throttle all the way up - that way I stay in “rabbit” not “turtle” (pics on throttle .... for those who can’t read, I guess). My bro is going to look at it - I think the throttle (which was the only thing sticking earlier, choke came later) is fairly easy to fix .... says the person for whom “nothing” every turns out to be ‘easy’!! :-)
