    Self propelled mower. Gas or electric?

    Done. We bought the Ego from our local Ace store. It was on "sale" with a free second battery. Wifey is happy and that's what matters. To clear up the property size discussion, we have 15 acres but only about one acre is mowed grass. I use our old Deere L110 garden tractor for most of the...

    Self propelled mower. Gas or electric?

    I am now deep into the electric mower rabbit hole. Many Youtube videos watched and I'm going through a process of elimination. Since the impetus for this purchase is for my wife to be able to mow while I am laid up after surgery, the Honda is out. I looked at the Ryobis at HD and I was not...

    What are you eating right now?

    Not right now but this was my wife's "flying noodles" dish at a Vietnamese restaurant in Germany a few weeks ago.

    Self propelled mower. Gas or electric?

    In my experience, the grass needs to be not too tall and dry to mulch effectively. I tend to wait too long to mow and my grass always seems to be wet.

    Self propelled mower. Gas or electric?

    Yeah. Honda calls it a rear discharge but in my experience, the grass just hits the rear plastic panel and clogs up before it drops to the ground.

    Self propelled mower. Gas or electric?

    First of all, I don't want to replicate previous posts but I don't have much time and I do have specific needs. Mainly that I rarely bag or mulch and usually just discharge the cut grass. I am scheduled for total knee replacement surgery this Monday the 23rd. We have about one acre of land...

    NASCAR LeMans Garage 56 Camaro documentary

    Thanks. Unfortunately, I watched a youtube video of the surgical procedure last night and I may be traumatized for life! Seriously though, I know that it will be a process but I am looking forward to an improved quality of life at the end. How are you doing?

    What makes you like where you live?

    We retired to our homestead on 15 acres of New England heaven on a dead end road but we still have shopping, doctors, restaurants and everything we need within ten miles. Having spent the majority of my adult life on west central Florida coast, I wouldn't have it any other way.

    Choosing a Generator

    https://www.centralmainediesel.com/order/Slow-Turning-Kohler-5kW-Diesel-Generator.asp?page=yanmar_4kw I seriously looked at this when we were considering an off grid property a few years ago.

    New tool thread

    I just bought a similar set but it was a cheap Chinese one for twenty bucks from Amazon. It's still gotta be better than C-clamps and channel locks though.

    1 Week Review - 2025 Toyota Tacoma Hybrid Limited

    I'm dismayed that you are having issues after what you went through with your F150. Hopefully it is just a random isolated issue and I'm standing by with thumbs squeezed. That's the German version of fingers crossed .:)

    New tires for the R1200RT

    I got 17,000 miles out of this Continental Trail Attack front tire on my GS before I changed it. I waited WAY too long and I don't recommend this.

    Dog and Cats

    Pets can be like a box of chocolates. We had backyard free range chickens for many years and our labs learned not to mess with them. Sadly, our labs passed and we subsequently adopted a rescue Jack Russell Terrier from Mexico. Max is a sweet dog but has a prey drive that overwhelms him and he...

    New old compressor

    Nice score. I bought this 1953 DeVilbiss a few years ago for my shop but it's really more than I need and with shop space at a premium I am considering selling it. I really like it though.

    Who's never traveled outside of the United States?

    Travelling abroad expands your horizons and lets you contemplate. The world does not revolve around us here in the USA. My wife and I love to travel and we just returned from a trip to Germany a few days ago. Here is a shot of me in Ireland from '22.
