This year as been so weird. Drought in spring and now fall and lots of rain over summer. My grass looked the best in July and now I’m struggling just to keep it alive.

Ugh, killed a bunch of grass with weed killer. Thought bottle said it was OK for St Augustine, but it decimated everything. Good news is the weeds are gone.
Neighbor down the street had this out on the curb with two batteries and charger. Went up to the door just in case it was by accident and she told me to take it before her husband comes back 
Some weird dispute that I already forgot the details. Going to try it alongside my gas Honda. Appears to be an entry level model but the lawn looked great (freshly cut with this mower). Doesn’t look to be a self-propelled. Going to put in a new blade (current one is chipped), clean it up and take it for a test hit.

It doesn’t weigh much but if you are mowing for more than an hour it sucks no matter what you are pushing.
For free, killer pick up. The charger alone retails for $100 since it’s a fast charger.
Can't wait to see what happens when the husband sees you using his "old" lawn mower.Neighbor down the street had this out on the curb with two batteries and charger. Went up to the door just in case it was by accident and she told me to take it before her husband comes back

So, I did my yard work yesterday, so I could ride the cruiser today. The neighbor that hasn't been able to find his string trimmer for the last two seasons is out of town. I leaned over the fence with my trimmer and hit all the grass they've been neglecting.
Other neighbor who can also see the poor lawn care asked me if I knew anything about the grass being knocked down. Told him I can neither confirm or deny any involvement, only that it hasn't looked that good in two years. I doubt the neighbor will ever notice, and I doubt they'll even bother to do an end-of-season clean up, let alone cut it again.

Had neighbor like that at old house.
Glad we don't have that at new house.
Pride of ownership is a fading thing it seems.
I had to double cut my grass Saturday. Lost a tire on the tractor half way through the first pass too. 6 hours to cut. Bananas. It looks great though!
Having a baby threw a wrench into cutting schedule so the grass was 8” tall.
Kids are perfect at turning scheduled plans upside down and cock blocking when about to penetrate.
It’s almost as if they have a sixth sense.
They’re probably OG from 1979, tree branch or thorn poked through the tread. I’ve put probably 4 plugs in this thing. I just ran out and got a new tire, it was time.Kids, I tell ya.
How did you lose a tire?
Sad day at casa de gladiator. My edger finally passed away. Electric motor grinding internally fighting for its life. I still sent it. Last edging of its 15 year life. RIP
My EdgeHawg did the same thing after about 15 years. It was used hard.
So now I'm having the issue that the yard is growing like spring again, and the leaves are falling off the trees like crazy. The yard is a mess!

My grass is growing like crazy again too, but should slow down with colder temps this week. I overseeded a few areas about 3 weeks ago and it's already filled in nicely.
I also planted some tulip bulbs around the property, so hopefully those pop up in the spring.
The roses I planted in the spring have been flowering nicely over the last few weeks.

I can’t imagine for the life of me why my neighbor’s lawn mower wouldn’t start easily, or keep running.
