A weather system is moving through today. Some rain is predicted, but it's not raining yet. The sky is overcast, the wind light.
I noticed yesterday that one of our neighbors was having trouble with his riding mower. He's got the same one we have, sold under another brand. I could hear the engine surging and then almost stalling before surging again. It sounded like it might be a carburetor problem; that happened to me a while back with the walk-behind mower. The neighbor worked on his machine for two or three hours, part of the time with a friend, so the problem must have been more complicated than a clogged carburetor. I felt bad, but couldn't keep from thinking "it's not just me." He got the engine running normally in time to cut most of his yard before evening.
We’re having a heatwave. Temps are rising and should top out near 40 over the next several days. Preparing us for our first summer in Córdoba when all our neighbors will be at the beach where we used to live.
ReplyDeleteSo sorry about the heat wave but lucky you to live in Cordoba. It’s one of my favorite cities in Spain.

Those vines grow so quickly!
ReplyDeleteWow, I wonder if all riding mowers are troublesome like this?
ReplyDeletepoor fellow.
ReplyDeletemitch, wow. 40 degrees is darned hot!
ReplyDeleteevelyn, like weeds!
judy, I don't think so, but maybe this style of mower has problems. It certainly needs a lot of babying.
michael, it's a royal pain, but not the worst thing that can happen.
