Well Mowing season is just about done here

That's a fine looking F150! Looks like you could go about anywhere in that.
I like not having to pay a note on my Ranger, haven't paid one in a long
time--some pretty hefty repairs occasionally but that goes with old trucks

Thanks, the PO trashed it so bad. Just took out most of the emissions equipment except the cat. Cleared out the freaking rats nest of wiring they put in for their CB. They obviously didn't know how electricity worked because they had 3-4 inline fuses on the negative wire for their CB crap.

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
to my old antique bench grinder. I think the next thing to go are my deck spinals on my 2019 Husq that I think are running on borrowed time plus still got all original belts. Usually when you spend as much time working on them
as mowing, it's time to get another. So far the ol Husq is holding up good but I did have to replace two deck return springs
this season. Don't no whats up with that?

About two weeks before a hard freeze here. It was a great year rain wise until about 7 weeks ago, then very dry. Will be doing leaves for two days at my place after Thanksgiving.

Leaves, I usually let them lay until pre-spring just before the grass starts growing and grind
them with the mower around the house. To me leaves on the ground is part of the decorations of the winter season. On the lower side of the yard away from the house, I usually burn those leaves in place. On the lower side of the yard got lots of trees witch makes lots of leaves,
I find easier to do a control burn to get rid of them because they are so thick

Let the leaves stay on the grass all winter and it will kill your lawn. Do this every year and it will really wipe out the good grass.

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.

Those Rangers seem to be pretty solid little trucks. I wonder what mpg they get

 

[platefire]

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

WOAH!!! that's double what I get...
