    11.58 am Saturday, dude rings, mate I want my lawns mowed today are you working today.
    Bad luck its my day off.
    9.31am Sunday, phone rings - think, will I answer, think, yep I answer with caution, need my lawns mowed some time today and would you travel to where I live. Well I was just leaving with the rideon for a major commercial clients. Told him I was booked with three short weeks ahead.

    Some people, really, at least they didn't ring at 6.30am which happened last year on the weekend that went to message bank.
    Cheers Garry

    and I fee-eee---eeel

    I'm getting nostalgic now. I used to have almost every pink floyd album on tape but never got them on CD. Just went looking thru the house and I can't believe I don't even have dark side of the moon (which i thought I had on CD) that I can play in the ute tommorrow. This really does make me grumpy.

    That really sucks, specially when it is just a little thing like that causing it. hope you get better soon. That is one thing I don't like about the back pack blowers, you are very low to the ground when starting, with a handheld you can drop start.

    Zoran hope you get better soon....did similar a few years ago but not as bad as you,I now start the backpack from the ute tray height rather than pulling from the ground..worked for me so far but backs can go on the slightest wrong move sometimes.....good luck mate

    Yep, if you could two days in before Easter even if at half throttle to get some $$'s plus keep some clients happy. It's a bugger when it happens.
    Me, struggling a bit with very sore right shoulder down to the elbow. Kinda hard to pull the starter cord, especially on the Honda. All ladder hedging jobs have been given away and will take no more of these on.

    All the best for some improvement upon tomorrow's sunrise and get a good coffee into you upon waking before you make the decision.
    Cheers Garry
