It was a nice weekend here as well -- about 75F and sunny. I didn't do any mowing -- for the second weekend in a row. It must be fall. I have been doing a lot of firewood processing: cutting, splitting, and stacking.

Do you have Halloween in Australia?

Yeah, my chainsaws are my top year-round outdoor tools. I never worry about draining and storing them because they get used just about every week.

I will do some mowing next weekend but it's nice to see the grass slow down a little after a long season.

Can't argue with that. I'm just substituting wood processing for mowing during the off season.

It's funny but the grass that gets full sun never completely shuts down and stops growing. It grows much slower in the fall/winter but there's still some mowing to be done.

In winter its a 3 weekly cycle for mowing......depending on the variety.
Well its going to be 36C tomorrow......and the grass is really growing quickly, so the fuel will be vapourising in the Brushcutters.......but I use Aerostart to get them going again.:cool:

Wow, 36C = 97F.:eek: That's really hot and it's not even summer yet. I looked up Perth and it's at 31 degrees south latitude. I'm at 33 degrees north so you're a little closer to the equator than I am.

Three weeks is about right for a winter mowing cycle in the SE USA. Farther north the grass doesn't grow at all in winter.

Drink lots of water when you're out in that heat.

In December it will be 'Summer'.......forecasting 40C days.......the machinery goes well......4 strokes seem to be ok , but the 2 strokes run well and never seize.
I run 98 octane with a 25 to 1 oil mix.........no problems at all , so I am not changing to 50 to 1.....why go there.......oil is cheap.........motors are expensive.
Drink 8 litres of water on a really hot day.........so I can keep going 6 hours straight.:eek:
