Flower power!!! Not much happening here yet, my small crocuses bloomed a bit over a week ago and now my daffodils are beginning to bloom. I've finally arranged for someone to come down to the house, pick up the riding mower, and take it to wok on it. Dang thing is only maybe 4 years old (I believe this would be its 5th summer) and it does not want to run - or rather it does not want to KEEP running. It starts fine, a minute later acts like it's out of gas. 30 seconds later, it'll start, run for a minute, etc etc. I've done all I know how to do, changed filters, drained the gas tank (and carb) and put fresh gas in it, yada yada yada. I'd like to get all the leaves and gumballs and debris cleaned up so I can see the grass when it starts growing, but I need the lawn trailer and yard sweeper for that, ergo I need the mower to run. Can't get someone to come down and do the yard for $5-$10 bucks a week these days...
