We tried to stick it out with a reel mower for a few years. I didn't mind pushing it, but the thing worked like ****. Most of the time it'd just push the grass flat more so than cut it.

It's a Ryobi battery powered 20in mower. Charged the battery fully but the damn thing cuts off after 10-30 seconds of running no matter what. Just holding it in place with no load on it and the deck height at max, it'll just stop for no reason. Assuming that there is a short in it somewhere. Not feeling confident about an exchange for the same model. How big is your lawn? If it's decent size that Ryobi thing isn't going to be effective. |

Ha. That's a northern thing. Blue and rescue and stuff like that. You ain't gonna cut no St. Augustine with one of those.
Yeah, you just about need to take a machete to St. Augustine. I had an uncle with a lawn with St. Augustine that I used to cut from time to time. |

I believe my uncle had a Snapper mower; gas powered. I don't think you can get those at Home Depot, though; only through an independent.

Does Dan have St. Augustine? His lawn is thumbing its nose at that Ryobi electric. lol
|
Walmart has Snappers.

Back yard is much bigger but mostly coated in pine needles so it doesn't require much mowing. |
Gnarly indeed, [MENTION=351576]Heathpack[/MENTION] :) Thanks again Folks.

Back in the day, that type of mower was all we had. Pretty much sucked, because when I was old enough, it was my turn to mow the grass. When my younger brother became that same age, I still had to mow the lawn.

Thank you all. TT ended in the walk of shame. Hit a huge pothole in the middle of a downhill corner. It could have been spectacular but it ended my TT. Crit is next.

I do not like Indian food. There is no subtlety, no elegance. The flavors are exaggerated. The heat-spice level is absurd even for someone like myself who loves several spicy cuisines and was raised on spicy food. I don't like leaving a restaurant with my clothes reeking of the place. You guys can have my share.
Oh yeah. I also hate chickpeas. I don't like the fast or the texture and they give me gas and the runs. Hard to eat Indian food without chickpeas. Dallas has a YUGE indian community. I could go to 5+ different indian restaurants and not see the same item on any of the large menus. |

Thanks again All Y'All! 35 mph corner in the aero bars, so it really could have been really bad. I first thought I hit so hard I dropped the chain, so I unraveled that, got it back on the rings, and took off. That's when I realized the there was a flat too. My 30 second guy that I passed still hadn't caught back up, so I think I was motoring. Weird, the hub also seems to be locked up, which is why the chain dropped. It's sort of like a fixed gear until I loosen the skewer, then it freewheels, so who knows what else I did. It's a DT 240, so unusual for a malfunction, unless you go four wheeling on a TT bike.
The crit, I turned myself inside out, which was the goal. Google Norm Alvis. He's the fellow that likes to beat up on us little old Cat 3's :) Still alive, so it was a wonderful day. Some carbon fiber for you all. https://c1.staticflickr.com/3/2843/3...9a1a7df0_c.jpg |

I lucked out and got a pass from mrs datlas to go and do club's recovery ride today. It's sunny with temps in the 60's this morning.
Happy Easter to those who observe it. |
Wet roads here. Waiting for the Amstel Gold to come on.
