at least, I think that is the right word…
It is raining at the moment, and has been, off and on for the last several days.
I mowed the weeds on our plantation last week.
My lovely bride is now of the opinion that the summer mowing season has arrived, and that I should get with the program.
Did I mention that it is raining?
While doing the mowing, I ran over some leaves that had been raked into a pile last fall, in an attempt to mulch them into… mulch.
Imagine my surprise when I noticed that the blades on the mower stopped turning. Upon investigation, I found one of my lovely bride’s empty bird seed bags made of some sort of fiber had fouled the blades.
This necessitated removing the mower deck, so that i could remove the bag.
Upon removing the bag, I noticed that the primary drive belt was on its last legs. Of course, Larry’s Small Engine Repair Shop, my go to place for that sort of thing did not update his computer when he used his last belt, so he is out of them.
Still raining.
The weeds are growing.
Waiting for the belt to arrive.
Sears has one, but they are very proud of theirs.
Lovely bride suggests that I put the mower deck back on and run it until the new belt arrives (a few days) or the current belt breaks, whichever happens first.
Putting the mower deck on or off is a knuckle busting job that cause me to use words that would make a sailor blush.
My conundrum is this, should I have rollers or sliders for lunch?
Thanks for listening.
Its still raining.
