You may remember that I decided to emulate hundreds of towns in Wisconsin that have adopted a policy of encouraging their residents not to mow lawns in the month of May as a way to help bees and wasps, some of which are endangered.
So far it has worked fairly well; at least three types of wild flowers, a.k.a. weeds, grew up in addition to the dandelions. Now I’m concerned that the grass is so high that I won’t be able to mow it come June. And today while mowing around the one-room school next to our house, the mower belt kept coming off. I need to take it in on Monday for repair, but evidently the repair shop is having supply chain problems. This could be bad.
Added bonus item: Movie review: This evening Linda saw “Downton Abbey” while I saw “Sonic the Hedgehog 2.” We give high marks to both of them. In “Sonic the Hedgehog 2” Jim Carrey plays the villain, and he is excellent.
There is a fair chance that the belt is worn out and stretched. You might try replacing it. Hardware stores usually carry V belts, so take the old one in and they can match it up.
ReplyDeleteThe mower is at the repair shop as we speak.
