    Early Fall possibly

    I have been seeing leaves falling for over two weeks now and the grass is slowing down some. That might be a sign of an early fall coming. Last year grass did not seem to slow down till the end of Sept. we are about 90 miles off the coast of the Gulf of Mexico.

    Are any of you guys in the south having problems with Bahia grass? We have seen it rain down here almost every day for the last several weeks and in the heat of the day when the sun has been shining for a while the Bahia grass is a mess.

    Hours of longevity

    What is the most hours any of you have heard of a mower running? I had a friend last week tell me about a Scag he saw that had 9000 hours on it and was still running. He did not know what had been replaced or rebuilt on it.

    Lost a customer last week.

    Had a customer with a small yard we had been cutting most of this summer. She only wanted us to cut it once every two weeks.

    The Kubota ZD 326 has the ability to raise it's self for blade change and other work under the deck. To raise the mower you raise a cover on the very front of the mower and remove two pins. You then turn the casters to a position where holes line up and insert the pins in the holes. Then you...

    Deer Crossing Signs

    Read in the paper this week that our town is going to install deer crossing signs at both ends of town. Just can't see why in the world they want to do that.

    It is that time of year

    We were clearing out a bed for a customer this week and beside a gas meter right beside their house was an empty potato chip bag. When my helper reached and got the bag he found a copper head close to two feet long coiled up under it. One more move could have had terrible results for either one...

    Worktunes and a sun hat

    Since I started this thread this is what I came up with. It is not real fashionable but I believe it will work great if the hat brim is big enough. It is supposed to be an ideal sun hat. It was given to me several years by an old surveyor that had retired and had several of them. What y'all think?
