    I'm going to Penn State in Turfgrass Sciences (Bachelors). You can't go wrong with a reel lawn mower for a lawn size of yours. 

    Do they still make gas power reel mowers or did those go the way of the Jart/lawn dart?

    How does Home Depot fit her in the box?

     

    Strongly leaning that way. 

    Model not included, just the bikini.

     

    Gotta make it fit...

    Yeah Lowe's has tons of Craftsman stuff. The reviews on the Egos are slightly higher, but I already have a ton of Craftsman cordless products that use the same chargers so I stuck with them. 

     

    I also bought one for my tenant about a year and a half ago and her son uses it pretty regularly with no complaints.

    I think Lowe's picked up Craftsman name, same w/Ace after Sears went kaput.

    With the savings, he can buy a vise! 🙄🤨

    Did you mean Hilti? 🤨

    Yeah! Damn AutoCorrect. I notice then AND the two BigBoxes stand alone on that chart.  I wonder where they (Husky/Kobalt) source their parts from?

    Depending on how handy you are, you can modify Greenworks batteries to work in Kobalt tools (& vice versa).

    Alternately, you can swap out the innards.

    They also make adapters for big names.  The Chinese ones get a little more involved... But there are Chinese knockoffs.

     

    All use basically same inside batteries (forget the common model number).

     

    I use then to cross over DeWalt-Milwaukee-Craftsman(IIRC is Craftsman/Stanley/B&D)... B&D/Stanley is also DeWalt.

     

    Only Makita stands alone... From the date of this:

    Also... Great mods online, YouTube if you can secure a 3D printer...

     

    It's all coming outta China...

    CORRECTION: Hilton too...

    Jesus, relax. 

    If you're so devout, you would know that a new pope was selected today and he's from Chicago. 

     

    An American pope, from Chicago,  before the Bears have a 4000 yard passer.

    AND a 30 TD passer in a season. 

     

    That's the amazing stat... . EVEN in a +16 game season,  Bears never produced a QB who threw for 30 TDs in a season.

    That was an epic collapse by Cleveland last night. Not just blowing a 7 point lead late but the way they did it, giving up two offensive rebounds off missed free throws and two turnovers, was really extraordinary. 

    Very Billsy thing to do!

     

    Okay... First the Blues doing Bluesy things, NOW Cavsy...

     

    We're NOT alone in this sports hell!

    Been here 20 yrs. Lots of critters have come to the back door to peak in. Never a Woodchuck, until yesterday. Right up to the sliding glass door. Thought he might try to attack himself in the window like the turkeys do. Turkeys spaz, peck the window in rage and ***** all over. 

     

    Little fuzz ball is around today again. He’s too darn cute to shoot, probably go with the release trap. They’re not so cute when they’re in there trying to kill you. 

    Nesting northern cardinals are insane too! Their reflection in glass windows drives them wild.  Very territorial.

    I never “got” this kind of jazz, guess I wasn’t hip enough. But I did wait/serve a dinner for Spyro Gyra though. It was a small to do for their signing with a local record exec in the late ‘70’s. 
     

    …..it didn’t make me any hipper to that scene.

    You don't have the right dynamic for the New Frontier, your dad probably never built a dugout in case The Reds decided to push the button down.  I suggest you move to The City, make up your mind, learn design, & study overseas... That's why you're not mad about Brubeck.  He's an artist, a pioneer, gotta have some music on the New Frontier...

    Yeah, the same way football is the same as baseball just with 2 more players

     

    Never saw an offside in BB.

    How about 5 on 4?

    Throw a BB into the corner and send somebody into the corner to dig it out?

     

    They used to.  Why they call basketball "cagers"... They played in a cage.😏

     

    They even fought too:

    In the early days of baseball, home team fans lined the foul lines to keep the ball fair.  They fought too...

    To each their own.

     

    I can't stand hockey. I quit trying to watch it decades ago.

    The officiating was joke, some of the rules were just stupid, and just the overall construct/behavior.

     

    Hockey is just basketball played on ice horizontally w/a goaltender.  Takes more resources.  Box lax same concept too...

    I also want to try to attract orioles this year. 

    Maybe try some flashing around the nuthatch size hole.

     

    Also... Orioles are on the move north now, should be any day now.  Right around May 10th or so they arrive here.

     

    Oranges 🍊,  halves on a spike in a tree... Also, grape 🍇 jelly in little bird feeder cups... That will attract them.

     

    Blue=Breeding

    Red=Wintering
