    I'm ready for it to be in the 80s again. This 90* crap sucks...haha

    EDIT: There's nothing cheating about a riding lawn mower. When I lived with my parents, mowing the grass on a riding lawn mower was a 5 hour ordeal, not including weed eating. When I lived in town, the mowing aspect was only about 45 minutes with a push mower. I'd take 45 minutes with a push mower than 5 hours with a riding any day of the week...lol. Now that I'm on 20 acres, it takes me about 6-7 hours to mow :(

    I have better things to do with my time than trudging through the grass pushing a struggling mower for hours on end.

    Besides, my tractor has a snow thrower attachment. I may not put it to good use EVERY winter in NJ but I've had it for 3.5 years now and two of those winters, it was a life saver. This past one and the first year I got it. Instead of taking the entire day to dig my 4 car driveway out, it takes all of 10 minutes with that beast and I can be off to build snowman armies or go sledding or whatever.

    Pfft! "Cheating". Whatever.


    You're just jealous 'cause your lawnmower don't have flames, white walls and pinstriping on it.

    There are often only a few people work at the start of a business, and the manager personally controls and does all the company income and business expenditures. He knows how much his business can earn and what he will spend the money on, for example, salary, traveling, advertising ... But when the business managemart grows and more people are involved in it, divisions are formed by activity areas, then in such a situation the lawn care invoice software must be installed and it must be implemented correctly.

    Like the flames :). I have an MTD 38" deck for getting in close and around obstacles, and a Toro 70" Reel Mower for the rest.

    70" reel mower? :o And my favorite brand to boot. TORO. <3
    That's golf course grade mower level. B)

    And the smaller being a 38" cut width... :D That's still a nice width cutter. ;)

    Dang, a 2014 thread!

    I thought it had to do with NOW. :D

    Yea, that spam post brought this thread back and my link brought me to the first post and I didn't notice the date!

    That first post picture sure looked inviting. Nothing like sitting in the shade with a breeze blowing and admiring the freshly groomed yard and looking for what could be planted or pulled.

    As you being my friend I will warn about my human being in the telescope. But what I really need to talk to you about is the flying sausage incident. I don’t think I talked to you about this but you really should know that I am secretly a flying sausage. Not only am I a flying sausage but I am THE flying sausage that took the walking cheeseburgers pickles. I need your help to escape the policemen because the only reason I stole his pickles was because I was going through this thing where all I wanted to do was eat PICKLES and my mom wouldn’t buy any. I had no money so I didn’t know what else to do. I walked over to the cheeseburger and took his pickles. Apparently that's against the law but i still did it. I already ate the pickles so I can’t return them. I asked Bobby Jo to put me in a box and send me to North Carolina, so I am now in New England. I need you to go on a secret mission and go buy me a private jet. You see I can not fly anymore so i need someone to send me a private jet, NOT AN AIRPLANE. I already have 2,345 airplanes. Please do not send me an airplane. Please and thank you, I hope you can complete my mission.

    But what I really want to know is, are the galoshes in the broom closet?
