After a busy day we packed it in by 9 pm. Down the road looking for a sunset, but not tonight too overcast and cloudy.Slept in until 6 am about 54F outside so not too bad at all. Better than yesterday. About 7:30 was going to take a walkabout but the rain started , a light drizzle.
So I hopped in the car to New Hamburg to get some gas for the mower, hoping to finish the last of the mowing here today , but rain was forecast. until 9am then from noon on all day. So back home topped up the gas in the mower pulled it out of the shed. and scrapped off all the heavy grass build up. For about 5 minutes. Fired the mower up again and it died! Would not start, hmmmm. ran the battery dead boasted it with the car still no start. Ok I got John, he came back we check things out, Maybe gas filter plugged , so he went and got a new one, still no gas. Checking around we found a shut off valve under the gas tank.Guess I had shut it off when I cleaned the mower. only a small space and grass all built up there, OOPPSS ! Easy fix now it is 11;30. starting to drizzle only lightly though. Rain hat on, shorts and hoody 90 minutes later was all do thank goodness was a light rain. Done by 1 pm.
Went to check for the pictures I took today and only found this one below, wow that is rare. but was busy trying to get things taken car of. I will take some later this evening for tomorrows posting.

Where have we been this Summer ?
Those dang pesky shut off valves! Lawn looks great, even tho you had to cut it during the drizzle.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy the visit with the grands! ... and the BBQ
Did nit know about this shut off valve but finally got the mower going again. The drizzle was light so not bad at all. The visit was awesome as usual and BBQ perfect !!
DeleteSounds like another wonderful day and fun with the grands and family BBQ
ReplyDeleteThanks JO it was a great day despite the rain, the grand and the BBQ made up for it.
DeleteThat's something I would do. Had that trouble once with my motorcycle. Forgot to turn the gas on. It took me 30 minutes to figure it out!! Your mowing skills are excellent!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks, I do enjoy mowing this yard,
DeleteI turned it off by mistake not knowing it was there, Glad we got it figured out though, and finished mowing.
Fresh cut lawn always looks great, no matter where it is. And the smell is nice too.
ReplyDeleteYou've learned something anyway and will check that valve first each time. haha
We didn't get the drizzle here but looks like a bit came before we got up today.
The fresh mowed lawn always looks and smells nice. We did not even know that valve was there.
DeleteGood thing that was an easy fix. Lawn looks good. Hope you had a grand visit with the grans.
ReplyDeleteThe easy fix was nice, And the visit was excellent thanks.
DeleteWell, I learned something new today...there is a shut-off valve on those big nice mowers.
ReplyDeleteYou have mowed that lawn more times than Pollito has mowed ours.
Yes we learned that as well.
DeleteMowing the lawn when we are is makes it look nice and that pays our ent rather than $50,00 a night or more in a campground
