    Engine bad, need to repower

    Ah, OK, was in a different mind set, sorry. Indeed, another branch broken on one of my Catalpa trees out front. Motion detection light was on when I came down stairs, seen light under front door. So had a visitor that must of ran off and went over my little tree. We are down to 3 ducklings in...

    Engine bad, need to repower

    NP, Well the City was supposed to install the water meter in the ally instead of my back yard. Now they're talking about installing it across the street from the front of my house, so it'll be up to me to have piping done that I can't afford.

    Engine bad, need to repower

    I didn't expect it to be up, been mowing it for 3.5 years and with the extra rain the grass was a lot higher. But that doesn't help mowing the rest of the acres.
