Left field question. Anyone updating their equipment and getting new weed whips? I have an Echo straight shaft which I have a saw blade on. Rather then constantly having to change back and forth from the blade to the whip end, I'm looking to get another machine that I can keep the whip on. Anyone want to sell your trade in?

Also still wondering if there is any interest in a meet up this year.

Not sure how many followed this a few years back, the Hawes brothers Ed and Andy used to own Hawes Lawn Service in Minneapolis, until money tension broke the family apart. Andy never got over his "suspicions" of Ed stealing from the company (they were always in debt up to there eyeballs, there was never really anything to steal anyway), and ended up killing him. These 2 were a perfect example of how NOT to run a business. Anyway, Thursday June 14, 2012 at 9pm Central on Investigation Discovery, they're doing the Hawes story about the problems, the murder, the burning of Ed's body in a fire pit, etc in a show called Blood Relatives. It hits close for me as I worked for them 10 years ago.

to bad I don't need another mower.
Anyone see the Walker for sale on CL?...$500

Hope y'all are having a good summer.
I don't mind mowing the grass when it's dry, as it reminds me of home.
Although a bit more rain would be nice. Hopefully by tomorrow night.

Had this roll over me last month in June about 7:30am when mowing off Lexington.
just a little spit with some lightning in it.

this one is the before shot .
The rain as you can see it, was heading due North just on the West side of Lexington.
The system was moving fast before it bumped into the warm air.
It formed a squall line and in about 10 minutes it was squashed.

It thined itself out and the line was more elongated in an East and West line barreling North East.

In this shot I'm facing West looking at Lexington,
the after shot{previous post} I was facing North East
