It’s a major brand, but Kumho makes grade-school-me giggle

The nice thing is, once you have your first passport, you can renew online, and it’s super easy. It even allows you to submit a selfie for your headshot pic.

My Toro ZTM manual says max throttle when cutting. My previous Hustler ZTM said the same. My Toro also says in the manual, and also a sticker next to the throttle, to go max throttle then turn the key off to shut down.

Yes. My ISP is Spectrum cable, 2 gig up and down. I work from home. Internet connection is lost, then restored several minutes later, constantly through the day and night.

I swear I would be an awesome trillionaire…

The entire side of my wife’s family is financially ignorant…I think I’d add “willfully” into that statement as well. It would be one thing if they asked for advice…they don’t. It’s not my job to solve their problems.
