It was positively windy at the farm this morning, so I’d had high hopes it would continue once I got home and started to cut the grass. It was blowing right up until I put gas in the mower and pulled the starting cord, then the temperature rose, and it became dead calm. Hot & humid for the full seventy five minutes I spent putting lines on the grass. Damn. Yet, here we are twenty two days since 8 took my weed eater in for service, and I still don’t have it back yet. Though they have called me twice with updates, and news on the trigger fix I was after, so that’s good news. I also know it should be about $215.00 plus tax, so the price isn’t a surprise anymore. I appreciate that at least.
Hopefully I can grab it early next week. I’d rather not go a whole month without my Echo SRM-230 if I don’t absolutely have to. I probably should have just bought a new one and gone about my business without the delay. But I’ve had the damn thing for twenty years or more now, and I’ll be damned if I’m going to be rid of it over two hundred bucks. It’s strong, not too heavy, and has worked without issue right up until this very year. I’d say that’s worth the effort to repair it.
Welp, work calls so I should get a move on. Best be about my business. I’ll save the hedge work for the weekend! Maybe it’ll cool off at some point soon? One could hope. On the plus side we’ve had a good amount of rain so my trees are still alive! Bonus.
Take care out there. Ciao Bella.
