I have a 4 cylinder with a 5 speed manual transmission. It's been a long time since I checked it but as I remember about 25 to 30 MPG gallon depending driving conditions

Everybody burns around here. No big deal long as there is no burn ban on. In that part of the yard I'm not concerned about a perfect blanket of grass, only the grass around the house. IMHO it grows plenty good even with the burning as long as we have rain.

A real long dry spell seems to have ended the mowing season kind of early this year. I guess if it starts raining again before the first frost, might get a little more growth. At least I picked up a new angle grinder this summer and got a new faster/better way to sharpen my blades now as oppose...

Well I took my Bauer 4.5"/7 Amp/11000 RPM Angle Grinder back to HF and got a refund. I hadn't used it any so it was still in new condition. I just got a Dewalt DWE 4011 and very happy with it. It came with 1/4" Thick Metal Grinder Wheel plus I bought a Flap Wheel. First sharpening job on my...
