Just fyi some thatch is a good thing, it protects the turf crown from being damaged by traffic (aka riding mower), also helps retain moisture. Anything under a half inch is okay. Aeration is typically all that is needed to keep it in check. I've actually never seen a lawn that needs de-thatching. Glad to hear you much while mowing, good call!
