I did NOT get my rider mower started today! Beautiful sunshine, yet mid-40ies (cool/cold). Dzee battery was dead. Tomorrow a forecast for rain. Have battery charger, but not enough extension cords to reach the shed wherein resides the mower. Land is uphill to get to electrical outlet and I didn't care to push the mower.
I DID get some of it push-mowed with my bagger mower to keep the leaves for compost. I soon wore out since I hadn't had much physical activity for 3-weeks. My hopes for the rider mower was to mow the leaves into row, and then sweep them up with the push mower. Didn't happen.
