Hi Guys...36 degrees here right now and the sun is coming up, they are saying high fifties later this pm. Yesterday pm it was only 45 degrees and the wind was blowing 25+ mph the whole time, I went out and mowed for two hours and although I was bundled up the wind chill was still very uncomfortable. Today I have to mow the smallest yard (southside) and half the time required will be with a pusher because of all the trees the Deere will not fit under. I just fired off a nasty email to the local newspaper editor and publisher, they sent subscribers a letter that said they are raising the monthly price of the paper by THIRTY ONE PERCENT. And they call it a "Great Bargain"

Very true that.

I can completely understand how some people could become suicidal, as I suffer from depression myself and although I've never been suicidal (and God Willing never will be) if I'd had a few extra kicks while I was down it could have escalated into that.

A feeling of calm when decission is made and these people actually seem like their old self and happy just before the act as they have found the answer to their deep troubles and rarely have second thoughts or hesitation but instead a clear thinking of how to carry it out.

Morning all!

Another dreich (pronounced dr-ee-ch, with the ch being pronounced like the ch in Loch, meaning dull and miserable) day here, but it shows signs of improving.

Even if the sun does come out though I don't think I'll be cutting the lawn today as it is still wet and although my mower's deck is polypropylene the grass wouldn't cut too well while sodden.

The Scotish blood of me that gets goose bumps with bagpipes loves the language lesson. :thumbsup: A sodden grass from such a dreich day.

Maternal Grandfather imigrated. Boy he good drink.

Already 49 at 10am, signed for my mail summonce

and can now head out back.

Well I decided to go ahead and mow anyway, and the grass looks like a golf course now, even though it is only a rotary mower!

Rain this morning, was supposed to be a nice day today but I guess the giveaway was when it started showering last night. Still cool for a day time high, around 45F. At least it is a bit warmer in the mornings now, hope we have seen the last of a frosty morning.

jmurray01 · Apr 23, 2012

Me too George, but I don't mind cool days for mowing the lawn, as I feel safer using my mower in cold weather - Less overheating risks.

I do mow in summer when it is scorching, but I'm always worrying it'll overheat.

It is only a year old so I should have more faith in it but I'm a natural worrier!

JDgreen227 · Apr 23, 2012

54 here now, came in to have a sandwich for lunch and the frickin' wind is still blasting. I am SICK of it !!!

If you are so worried about your mower overheating don't use it when it's hot. JEEZE...I have used push mowers on 100 degree days and never worried about them, they are designed to take the heat as long as you keep the oil clean and the cooling fins clear of debris.

I'm m,ore worried about me overheating than the mower!

Coffee is in the cup. 40 degrees with wind this morning. Heading to 55 with brisk winds. Lots to do today. Have to get snow blower off and mower on. Then cut 2 acres of 8" high grass.
Good Morning All.

This must mean you are back home safe and sound...ONLY 8 inches of grass to mow? I took this picture 3 weeks ago here and I am done with my second mowing for the year.
