Mowing - the last of the year

I mowed the yard yesterday. Hopefully for the last time this year. Last year it was November 11.

This wasn't really a mowing to cut the grass either, but more to mulch the leaves and even things out. Plus I missed seeing the back-and-forth lines from the mower.

I went east/west. Took just over 2 hours. Ate lots of dirt.

I also had a piece fall off the mower deck. I need to figure out what it was, and probably go ahead and take the blades off and have them sharpened, and clean the underside of the deck, and clean up the mower. Then drain the gas and wait until next year. Yeah... one of these days I'll get around to that.
