Very nice! One of my shoe castings is broken, the factory laughed when I asked about a replacement. She said they do stock the tune up kit for this model.
Sorry neighbor! 
I use a couple heavy straps looped through a chain hooked on my bucket to clean the deck of my zero turn. I just lift the front up, and lock the FEL controls. I mulch with it so it needs to be cleaned every so often.
Nope!
Certainly a very beautiful wild plant!This is one of the fields up by the road. I normally mow it a couple of times a year. Would usually mow it a bit later but I drive by it every day and the saplings in one section were irritating me.
The front that’s supposed to drop rain on us today and tomorrow isn’t making for an ideal weekend. Thinking it will be worth it plus some if it turns Lee out to sea as predicted. View attachment 111147
However, that means up at 6:00 to beat the rain. Made it to the shed to pick up the bush hog about 6:30. View attachment 111148 View attachment 111149
Much better. This little section of field is the only area on the whole place near a neighbor’s house. Not sure if they were happy with 7am Saturday morning mowing or not. They didn’t say anything about it.
While I had the bush hog on, I drove down a couple of the grassier trails just to clean them up a little. I now know it is fall here because this is blooming. I’ve always heard it called Indian Paintbrush but I’m no botanist. I just know when it shows up in the creek bottoms here: it’s fall. View attachment 111151
I believe this striking red native species is Lobelia cardinalis, Cardinal flower, Indian Pink, Lobelia.
My main reason for buying it was it is the perfect size to haul a water tote around the property but I didn't use it once this summer for that purpose since we had so much rain but it's been great for general use.
Put some just like those on my little Husqvarna riding mower. (It's orange too, so I think I'm allowed to mention it in here.) They probably will greatly improve visibility as long as the bucket isn't in the way. I find myself normally running with the bucket smack dab in the middle of the headlight beams. All I can see is the back of the bucket when I turn them on. Yeah, I know, too high for a loaded bucket, but I don't remember ever having a loaded bucket after dark. One of the reasons I haven't spent the money for work lights on the LX.

That looks an awful lot like a variation of Salvia. We grow the black/blue variation for the hummingbirds and bumblebees. Had I known how invasive it was, I'd never have let the missus put it in the beds with the azaleas. Got a mess to dig up this fall after first frost. Next time it gets cultivated, it's gonna get a plastic border put around it to prevent spreading so quickly. A section from a 5 gallon bucket should do nicely to prevent the rhizomes from spreading.This is one of the fields up by the road. I normally mow it a couple of times a year.
