Good morning!!!!

Is it one of the models that runs the engine backwards for reverse rather than use a transmission?

I believe that is the case ... based on looking at the set up and talking with a friend.

But I haven’t actually verified it.

69 now and going to 70F. Wind SW 16 mph. Sunny!
Hydro-one turned the juice back on at 12:50, only 20 minutes later than their estimate.
I'm not having good luck today, went to fire up the brand new power washer and it sputtered once and quit with a clank. Tried to pull it over and could hardly turn it, let alone pull it fast enough to actually start it. A one thousand dollar boat anchor.
I just got off the phone with the people I bought it from and they should have a replacement here on Wednesday.

I priced out new riding mowers and they range in price from $2500.oo to $11,600.oo. I don't think I will get a zero turn unless someone makes me an off I can't refuse. Being a cheapscape I will probably get the $2500.oo one in the fall.


Have a safe day all

Up early to get a haircut. Took truck and took along 4 gas cans.
Wife texted me to pick up new whiskey barrel half for a planter. Wife had dug dirt out of the old one because it was full of ants, discovered it was falling apart. Lowe’s had them, labeled Jack Daniels no 7. Got gas at Costco, wasn’t busy yet at 9:30 and they are $.20 cheaper than most. They had sign on pump 2 can limit. I pulled out 2 and filled, with the attendant watching me like a hawk. Stopped at another station to fill the other 2 cans at $.10 more.

Got new planter ready, full of dirt, old one moved to edge of woods for now.

Mowed all but field.

Got tiller off the Massey and put away for another year. Swept all the dirt away from where it goes.

Just now saw a hummingbird while I am Sitting on front porch relaxing.
