Wet and cold are not good conditions for mowing. But the fuckers insist on growing so cut we must. I accomplished making a mess. Would you believe i power washed that thing tuesday night?View attachment 4128288
You have a side bagger on there? How often you scrape? I refuse to cut wet shit unless I absolutely have to. The tight baffle on the exmark keeps these fuckers clumping like no other. Looking at the baffle attachment that makes it eject the grass quicker rather than circulating wet shit. Low lift blades help that too. I'm sure you know what's up just rambling:eyesmoke:

at least you had a station wagon, we had a fucking pinto hatchback. drove from fargo n.d to yellowstone one year, then next year we went to Bampf, 2 adults, a 10 year old, and a 6 year old....then the year after that my mom told my dad if he wanted to do that shit again, get a van....so for the next 5 years we went everywhere in a van.....still sucked, but anything was better than the pinto
and she had my other sister, so we had a baby in the van.......
One year as a family we went on a long vacation/ road trip in a single cab truck.

It was so much fun and sucked so bad at the same time.

This week I was scraping several times a day. Power washed the whole mower Tuesday night. Properties weren't super wet it just never warmed up enough for em to be dry either. The property I took that picture after is a concert hall we mow. Their first outdoor show is Tuesday so it definitely needed mowed. We slit seeded it a while back and also fertilized the shit out of it so it was way tall. Looks nice now but after a few shkws it'll be shit again.

I had to read that several times and finally resorted to google.

The night before I had to drop her, she refused to go, the next morning she got up and said she's staying till Tuesday.
I sprayed down another two clones and resprayed the first two I did. Also baged up 3 of them to larger bags. Got to rinse some more coco to do the other 3.
I can only stand so much of the insecticide. It is a natural oil based one, that makes everything smell like garlic.

I was a mod for quite some time on a lawn care site. It was surprising the number of "pros" who were none the wiser.

Either the mower will mulch or just toss the grass depending on the baffle. Not including the blades. Different blades for different situations/seasons.

My residential and commercial get high lift gator blades. Unfortunately if it's even a bit damp, we'll have to blow clumps, or if there is time for it to dry a bit while cutting another section, then go back for a double cut (standard as we always cut in different directions, Everytime ) to reduce thatch build up.

Neighborhood Common ground, fields, empty lots all get a low lift blade so it will discharge as quickly as possible, reducing time spent on that account. Usually people who are looking for a cheap cut.

Exmark in particular doesn't have an adjustable baffle, as of '16, that I'm aware of. So they have bolt ons that force the grass to discharge much further than it would normally. Helping smooth the clippings in big fields etc.

I'm always learning something new from you so that short story is the least I could do :bigjoint:

We should start a thread for lawn care!
I'm a hack and usually leave it long so I don't have to water as often.
But I get thatch build up and occasional fungal disease.
Have you ever used Southern AG Garden Friendly Fungicide on lawns?

Got some new blue tomato cages and a few bags of potting soil.

The last frost for the next 10 days is tonight. Tomorrow or the next day I'll put in tomatoes and peppers. I have 5 illustrated pages (front and back) of all the tomatoes, peppers and lettuce available at my cousin's garden store.

I hate homework.
I already have 4 fruit set on mine LOL Of course they'll die from heat by mid June but I might get one or two this year.

Picked up a few things for the pepper plants this year, they were just so so last year.

They also got shaded by tomato plants, I think I've got the spacing down this year.
Tomatoes in one wall, peppers in the other, green onions and lettuce where it all fit with lettuce in full sun.

Just add plants and lawn furniture. Plants tomorrow, not sure about lawn furniture. Just got scorched for $1500 in property taxes today, the last day for the 2% discount. It costs me around $700 a month in taxes and insurance for 2 houses.

I told my daughter and her companion they had to start paying $350 a month earlier this year. The house is free, the taxes aren't. Sorry.
I think they're getting quite the bargain.
