Riding the "rider"


The day before yesterday, Walt was out mowing the grass on the north side of the house. I took a video of him mowing, but I can't get it to upload into Blogger. The best I could do was grab a few "snapshots" off the video. I'm posting some here. This kind of small riding mower is called a "rider" by the companies that make them. This one is a TroyBilt model. As usual, you can click or tap on the images to enlarge them.

One reason I didn't post anything yesterday was that I got involved in trying to post the video I took. It was too big for Blogger to "swallow". It needed to be shortened (or "trimmed"). The Microsoft application I used to use to trim or otherwise edit videos has disappeared. I spent a lot of time downloading and trying to trim the video with them, but I couldn't get it so. Sometimes the seemingly simplest things can be the most complicated to accomplish on a computer.

P.S. I just managed to post my video on YouTube. Here's a link.

  1. Gosh, you have a lot of land to manage! We have only around 600sqm and that keeps us busy, especially with all the recent rain and now the warmer days. I hope you’re enjoying the sun, while it lasts.

  2. Hey, that was fun to watch!
    It sure underscores how much yard there was for mowing with a walk-behind mower. Whew.

  3. I watched the video. My dad loved mowing grass even more than gardening. So glad things are drying out finally.
