Just snagged a 2021 DPX2 Factory to replace my 2013 Float CTD.

Probably about April before I get to test it out :shakefist:

This mowing thing sounds a bit like the kid thing you all talk about.

Glad to have abstained from both.
Ha! Have reduced my lawn by about 1/4 every year for the last two years. The yard looks amazing as a result and the biodiversity has increased dramatically. It's buzzing with bees and all manner of flying insects all year. This year we even had grasshoppers! Looking forward to doing another 1/4 next year! And maybe the year after, I'll be able to retire my mechanical push mower.

This summer I discovered a healthy bee colony where I compost my lawn clippings

The kind which are yellow, mean, and sting multiple times? I find those many times a summer myself. Should we re-name this thread the dependable lawn care thread?
no, just regular bumble bees. i was pulling compost for my garden and unearthed them, i was lucky i didn't get lit up as a few dozen appeared in a timespan of maybe 5 seconds. there was a good sized queen, so i let them bee.

Boostin‘, how are all of your maladies?
Healed?
Healed as its gonna get! My hand is pretty good these days. Now I need time to ride! I've got to clean out the garage before we move so I have been listing crap on ebay in the hope I can raise funds for this bike and get rid of stuff so there's less to move.

Moving? Didn't you just buy a house?
