New gator blades on the lawn tractor, changed the oil and filter, tightened the belts and gassed it up.

I put new inner tubes in the lawn trailer.

Tooled a bit around the yard escorted by my trusty Aussie Shepherd.

Next thing is getting the weed whacker ready.

The most important thing is my Montelukast and Fluticasone refills are ready. :mrgreen:

Hellfar it was in the mid teens and we had 3" of snow on the ground just last Friday.

It has been a most interesting cold and semi-snowy winter here in the middle Appalachians. :D

By the way I should have wrote dieseled up the lawn tractor. :)

yea, I know, my folks still live just outside the bburg and mom was lamenting the snow still on the ground. We have hit 85 this week and the grass is taking off like crazy. I already had to replace a drive belt on the riding mower even before I started mowing, then in the first pass the blade belt started smoking so had to jerk that off then fix two of the pulleys... ugh
