Nah. We've gotten used to that noise. He just hasn't been around much.

There is just something inherently wrong with a bunch of truck guys in a hot tub. The deck...that's another story.

Lol. Well I wasn't actually thinking of any of us being in the hot tub. I just think it's cool that he has one.

Well the hot tub was a freebie, but after installation and building the deck, I have realized that it was the most expensive gift I have ever gotten.

So, are you going to "improve it" before you re-install it in the motor? I mean, is there really such a thing as too much power in a mower???

I wish I could somehow. My fix lasted about 30mins before it blew the new gasket out again. I'm guessing that means that the mating surfaces are warped.

Gonna give it one more try with a new gasket and either some red or copper silicone. If that doesn't work the whole mower could become a coral reef.

This deck was planned, but was really meant to be built about two years in the future. Getting the hot tub sorta hurried it along somewhat.

Morning folks, looks like it might be a wet one today. Quite the light show on the way home. I know they mean well, but I sure wish weather forecasting was a little more of an exact science.
