This afternoon, my daughter and I headed into town, first to pick up the riding mower, then to pick up fixings for a wiener roast. Since the mower was too far gone to fix everything, it cost less than $45 for the work that was done to put the drive chain back on and tighten … Continue reading Bringing it home

Found the problem!
While putting away the push mower yesterday, I was going to take the time to start up the riding mower and see what I could see.

That’s it. I’m done.
Well, for tonight, at least. It happened again.

All charged up
How weird it's been lately! A couple of nights ago, it got cold enough overnight for the furnace to turn on, only to hit highs in the 20's, half a day later! Yesterday was supposed to be my day to finally get the mower out - which required taking the snow blowers out first, taking … Continue reading All charged up
