Unlucky Days

I don't like mowing when the grass is the LEAST BIT wet!!!!! And it's been like that a LOT lately here in Middle TN:0(
It sticks real bad all over my new Gravely ZTR and takes me twice as long to clean it up and make it brand-new purty again:0) Heck, Iv'e got 23.5 hours on the ZTR and already about 50 hours cleaning it afterward. I'm so obsessive/compulsive about keeping it looking like the day I brought it home that it's probably gonna get detailed and a wax job at the end of the season. Anybody know a good therapist????:0)

Yeah....I clean my Honda but it will never look as good as the day it came back from it's "winter tuneup"! See first picture. The second picture is after many spring days of dirt and pollen. :confused3:

Got out of this mourning and the sun was out and hot 30 mins later it was raining. Been raining off and on all day. I can not remember the last day it did not rain

(( racing is the only sport that you need two balls ))

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 **** 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.

Also. It makes it easier to spot problems when stuff is clean :)

The dealer I got the mower from did the tuneup. And it wasn't that dirty before the tuneup, but if you look at the link below the pictures it shows you what it did look like. :rolleyes:
 
Rain seems to be annoying everyone at the moment, would be nice if the sun appeared for 5 minutes or so. That way we could get back to work in our gardens!
