We do need some rain (according to the farmers), Sunday sure looks like it will be a great day to work outside though....I bet my mower will be running for the second time already this year.

It really depends on how tall the grass is, if I set the throttle up close to the choke to fatten it up a bit, and if Hillary helps with taking the gutters down, if she doesnt then the elapsed time will go from around 40 minutes to about 45 if I have to stop and move the gutters myself.

hey Jimmie, how many shims do you normally run under the choke knob on an average mowing job? lol

There is a number of things to take into consideration when I normally make my shim settings.Cloud cover, wind direction and speed, what tire pressure I decide to run that day, and if im wearing sunglasses that day or not.But normally the choke setting is around 1/8 of an inch from the rabbitt on mach speed.

hahahaha thats kind of what, thats why Kelly mows our grass because i am not smart enough to calculate all of that stuff. when i mow i usually have a mt. dew in one hand, a second one in my shirt pocket and after i jump start the stupid thing its wide open throttle and let what ever happens happen!!!!

Well, as cool as all my calculations sound....to be honest all I do is check the oil and add some gas (pretty much the same maintenance as all my race cars except the part about checking the oil) then I let Hillary mow while I operate the weed eater.Now the weed eater on the other hand is a very complex machine that does in fact require special settings and modifications that only I know the secrets about!I may dip into those secrets in a later post.
