Don't forget the sunblock!! ☀ ☀ ☀

Not been needed yet - surprisingly cool & cloudy at the circuit, although the sun is just starting to break through. Factor 30 P20 is in my bag ready 👍.

Positively summery out there! Those brassic winter rides through very quiet streets seem an age ago.
Still wish a few of those grockles in Chester would learn how to drive though

I have cut the lawns on my riding mower, as I got it all ship shape and Bristol fashion over the last couple of days. This mower was bought partly with cycling in mind, as it takes about 20-30 minutes to cut the whole of Gravity Gulch, and I am not so worn out I cannot ride, as is the case with the electric walk-behind. Tires pumped, battery charged and conditioned, belts and engine checked, fuel bought. I have to do this over a holiday, or get the small engine mechanic to do it all. But some nice cool weather without rain made it quite easy for me to do it this year. While I was raking the grass up, robins assisted me, working only about 20 feet from me removing insects. Our robins are different from yours, larger, and more like a thrush, only grey, and with an orange breast.

I have started something, as all my neighbors are now starting to cut their lawns.

Well timed, rain is crossing the Mississippi River and headed my way.

No doubt 'encouraged' by their Wives " Ere 'Joe' up the road has cut his grass so stop drinking Beer and get your lazy butt of the couch and do ours"

And they'll soon be getting slightly damp.

I am sure that was the case with my next door neighbor, his wife had no sooner left for work than I heard him starting his riding mower. Using a cane , and being over sixty may not help matters, either. And then there's the whole "Old William can ride a bike and work in the co-op on the weekends, you should get some exercise as well" issue.

By the way, my mower has a holder for beer, or, in my case, soda. Been dry for many years for medical reasons.

Yes, a different species but our robins are also known for tailing gardeners to see what the gardener might have turned up.

Ariens 12/32, 32" Blade. Formerly 12 horsepower but upgraded to 16 horsepower, as many Briggs and Stratton engines have the same base bolt patterns.
