Unlucky Days

Man.....that first picture looks like a brand new mower!!! So who did the "winter tuneup"???? And did it look like the second picture "before the winter tuneup"???? And I thought I was anal about having my mower look clean.....maybe both of us need some serious therapy:0)

But, I've always said(about my automobile/truck engines....which I also clean regularly)...."a clean engine is a happy engine"!!! Also, even my mechanic when he works on my 1995 Silverado Z71(that has over 230K miles) can't believe how "new" my engine looks!!! I'm a firm believer that the worst enemy an automobile engine has is a dirt/grime/oil/etc. "buildup" all over it that makes the cooling system hard-pressed to keep it from overheating. Of course my mechanic seems to agree with that philosophy.

I've always kidded around that the dirt is what holds my cars together:wink:

i have had to wait for the grass to get really high to cut it because its just so dry! my grandfather (who is 95 and still loves to mow with his craftsman) burnt his lawn! he was so aggravated with himself. he luckily has a brooke that runs through his property so he just watered his grass with that water so he didnt empty his well. (of course i helped him because he isnt exactly as strong as he used to be) i havent burnt any yet so i guess i know what im doing!:laughing:
