It is mowing time again and a “Bobcat 61” Deck Zero Turn Mower has been chosen to replace the 61” Zero Turn Mower that caught on fire and burned to the ground. That is when we are glad we have items insured. We were paying four dollars a year coverage on the mower that burnt and the insurance company wrote us a check for $2750. That check sure helps with buying a new mower. I had budgeted for 2 new mowers this year, one for PWA, and one for General Maintenance. The Bush Hog Mowers were about 8 years old and we were starting to spend too much money on each mower to keep them going.
So once again thanks for buying your groceries, fuel, snacks, drinks, and all the Dollar Store items here in town, to keep our tax structure in place.
