Hi Folks,

It was a big week for the mower gang. The Freep wrote a great article and shot a great video about our Velodrome Mow. See The Mower Gang in Action Here. It was a great piece. It also catapulted our number of facebook fans from 35 to 135 in a couple of days. Woo Hoo! That was on the 11th.

More mower gang stuff happened today. For one, I was invited on WDET (that’s 101.9, NPR) for the Craig Fahle show. It was hosted today by Travis Wright of the Metro Times. It was fun and I got to goof around as the “leader of a gang”. I didn’t take it too seriously because this isn’t much of a gang and we have only mowed one thing so far. I think the interview went well though.

In the afternoon Mike and I went back to the velodrome to try to mow the infield. We failed at this last time because my Craigslist-special, $250 lawn tractor broke down in the middle of the field. Well, this time it actually wouldn’t even start once it got in my van. We weed wacked and cut down trees. Later, I gave up working on my tractor and dropped it at the lawn tractor store. I hope they can fix it within a week.

Have a great weekend everyone.
