Price Of Gas Today

1.97 in Daytona. Went and purchased a small riding mower slast Saturday and of course it can't run on the 1.97 a gallon gas, I have to put the non ethonol shit in there which is 2.25 a gallon.

This ethonol shit they put in the gas is bullshit, I have no idea what its purpose is but all I know is I will never buy a toro product again. My 350 dollar self propelled mower that was only 3 years old cost me 100 dollars a year in repairs due to ethonol. Just after 7 days of sitting it would gunk up the filter and carb. I got tired of disconnecting the fuel line, soaking the filter, taking off the cover spraying the carb just to get the sob to start.

We found a station close by that sells non ethonol gas, boats use it, so hopefully I'll be fine.

F -THAT

Mine will have its 17th year starting next Spring and I hope it makes it 20 years to sort of get my monies worth before I get my last mower and it will be a John Deere ....but then if it is still running strong during that 20th season I will probably keep on running it

I had the JD all picked out, but that would of led to another project that I don't want to do, our gate opening is 36" opening, smallest JD was 42" deck and the rear wheels went 48". So I bought the Poulan Pro 30" cut, I just fit through the gate opening, pushing the lawn in June, July August and September just ruins the entire day for me.

People move to FL and immediately begin the downward spiral to full-fledged L.A.Z.Y.

No way I love cutting the lawn, just you can't cut in those months in the morning due to how wet the grass gets overnight, starting the lawn at 11 am, its just to hot and humid...

Set a record that has stood since 1919...94 degrees yesterday and today

Sunny and COLD here today.......the riding mower gives me several hours of peace around here.

I had a Poulan chain saw that lasted over 30 years but I got a Poulan push mower once and the thing was on the junk pile soon after.........then for years I used a cheap "Weed Eater" push mower and it lasted for years until the rope pull for the starter wore out and is broken and there is no way to start it or fix it since it is all riveted together instead of screw or bolts.

So it is just sitting here doing nothing........and the trimming looks a bit shabby

Now I get to wait until May or June to go outside
