Riding Lawn Mower Advice
 
I need a new 42" riding mower.

I'd like to have a 9'ish bushel bagger so how many horses do I need?

I do not want bells and whistles. I want a mower that will last about 10
years and cut grass. That's it. I don't care about a cup holder or
automatic transmissions or even headlights. Give me a good engine and a
solid deck and I'm a happy camper.

Any advice on what mower will fit the bill.

Also, any ideas on what time of year they go on sale?

Thank you for your time and your advice.

did you ever give much thought to how a little town of
1200 people could be named so right? for example, consider
how Cary went from 1200 people back in 1976 to the 117,000
living there today and actually became it's name.

[Concentrated Area of Relocated Yankees]

who would have ever thought it could have happened...

acronyms are so today. would you not agree?

Actually, it got it's name because way-back-when, that's where
the local store was.

When asked 'where are you going ?', the local folks would
reply 'I have to carry Momma to the store'.

Eventually, this was shortened to ust 'Carry', and later,
'Cary'.

Around here in NJ we have 2 towns next to each other called Hopewell and
Amwell.

Story is that long ago when the 2 groups of folks would meet up one would
say to the other "I hope you are well". The other replied "I am well".
Over time they became known as the Hopewells and the Amwells.
