77 here and Lawnmower syndrome is about to hit.

If you don't know what that is I will explain :

Last year they cut the grass with the lawnmower, when finished it got pushed into the corner of the garage and forgotten about it , that is till the grass started growing again , now it's 80 degrees outside and the lawn needs cutting so they pull it out and of course it won't start , they load it up in the truck and take it to the repair shop , that's when they find out that all of their neighbors did the same thing and now there is a two month wait to get their lawnmower repaired.

That is in essence what happens here every damn year and why I no longer have sympathy for these customers , bottom line is I have just seen it , put up with it and dealt with it for way too long now to really care anymore , so let the games begin and I hope you brought your wallet !

I do this too, but I do it to myself every year, and then I've also got to fix it. I never learn, feel like I never have enough time to do what I need anyway, no licoricein idea how anyone has kids.

I ran my mower the other day....... There is not a dead season. But I am not one of Terry's kind of customer. Also my shop is too small 16x22 with a 23 SJ, 18 Edge, 2 MTB, Road Bike, Gravel Bike, Work Bench on one wall, shelves, large tool box, compressor. When I need room, I crank the Zero Turn up and move it out. This way it gets ran some.

I use the zero turn all year also , mostly to mulch leaves or move Seadoos around so no off season on mine either , on the weedeaters and chainsaw I use Stihl synthetic oil and it has fuel stabilizers built in so I have never had any issues there either , on the skis I winterize all of them and they always work just fine, pop in new plugs and go .

I really can't wrap my head around people buying 15 -20 thousand dollar watercraft and not winterizing them.

I say it's all that stupid groundhog , Punxsutawney Phil's fault , I say replace him with Sonic the hedgehog, that should speed things up some.
