"Chris, still a current model, looks nice, good Vanguard engine weighs almost 1000 pounds, lot of machine"

There is a Simplicity dealer in southern Lancaster County who's web page shows a new Contender for $7250 and a leftover 2019 for $6000 but they are out of stock. It felt like I was paying too much but I kind of needed it.

The reviews said the seat back leaned back too much. Yup. Maybe I can rig some spacers.

And they also said the fuel gauge shows empty when there is 1/2 a tank. That seems to be true too. I need to get a stick to check it with.

Looks like it is going to be thirsty. I filled it to start and it looked like it was mostly empty when I finished. The gas stick will help check fuel consumption.

When I compare mowers I focus on engine and which transmission. That has ZT3200 transmission, there is ZT3400, mine has ZT3600. There will be different models of engines, it just depends on the price point of the mower.

Grass mowed early before the worst of the heat. Really haven’t done too much since, I plan to make that job last a while.

The grass is cut, the dump run done and now for the you tube rabbit hole.

On lactose intolerance, at first I thought it was just an allergy to coloured cheese. Now I know exactly what it is all about with me anyway. I can have frozen yogurt in small quantities, as well as almost any white cheese (old cheese), mozzarella and blue cheese, IF I should get into any food that I find too hot (spicy) then one ounce of milk works to put the 'fire' out but any more than that and I am in trouble. The pain across my guts tells me that I (a) over did it and (b) find a toilet pronto.

Got back as storms are threatening.

my old neighbor in NC sent me a nice pic of his ride for the day, NH 275 pulling a big grain cart in Terra Ceia, super fertile very flat land East of where I used to live. Very bottom of the rich swamp land that goes up to Elizabeth City and further. Very high yield land. Helping another farmer bring in a wheat crop.

Wow, Boo has a big bite.

Home before the rains. Got one short gentle rain, enough to raise humidity. 76° 90% humidity, .09” rain.

Snagglepuss curled on my lap as I sit on front porch. Dark menacing clouds overhead.

Interesting day. FedEx delivered my Starlink kit late afternoon. Was tempted to set up in temp location but didn’t. Had the J mount ready to install, but not hole in wall for cable. Sitting in its permanent home. Need to do some clean up tomorrow and cable management only on the wifi network and rather impressive considering we aren’t a full service area. Will have to see if the outages are tolerable. Doubt they can be more frustrating than my AT&T service of late.

Did you cancel your regular starlink order now that you have the RV one?
