Ok Matt, looks like you're going to learn the hard way. You remind me of me at your age...that's not all good ;-)

When I first started cleaning carpet, I had a prochem quad without a lip glide. 3years later, I learned my lesson. I bought an 802 with the black colored glide. It was a little better. Then I got the dildo glide to put on my prochem quad, and it was too easy. So easy, I was paranoid that it wasn't sucking up half the water it should've. Then I put a single lip glide on it. It got better. then came the mach15. It is so easy to push compared to a prochem quad without a glide, that tells me that I've learned my lesson, even though I hunch over like a troll, lol

I know, I know...buy a Zipper. I will, eventually.

Everybody has their own techniques and there is no absolute right or wrong. I use the handle on the wand to crack it slightly on my forward stroke. This allows me to start the stroke without the wand being sealed to the floor. It also clears the wand and hose of water and foam. You are doing good work Matt, just look for ways to treat your self better. You'll be thankful when you're older, not needing surgeries or other treatments.

Thanks Ron. You're a good guy, no matter what Mikey tells me.

I agree but thats not even my yard. :shifty:

Its the neighbors, but the wife and kids walk the dog down to the pond so he can swim. The neighbor mows around the pond and from his property to the pond but nothing on my side.

I can't imagine why? :winky:

Beautiful Kansas. All the pictures of mountains, beaches, snow and deserts.
We live in the heartland of America and it's beautiful. I mow 31/2 acres with a Massey Ferguson and brush hog and I love doing it.

I have no idea why someone would mow 6 acres when they could let a cow eat that stuff...
I cut 4 more today. It grows to fast for the horses to maintain it on there own. Its been two months since they needed help. Around the house needs it weekly when we have rain. Normally by now the sun starts to burn it up but its been so wet, it looks like spring.

Its green and beautiful sunshine out there! :cool:

Well you need to get more horses. Since we cannot make them into dog food anymore there are thousands of homeless or nearly homeless old horses. The most pain ever caused to horses in the US has been the law to "Protect" them from the evil dog food manufacturers. Unintended consequences...
