Yes, but Purdy's deal is 'post tariffs'. * 😇

Oh, you can bet they monitor TBD. 🤨 * 🎵He's making a list 🎶And checking it twice, 🎵Already knows who's naughty or nice, 🎶Terry P is making a list.

Why do you hate the Buffalo Bills? * 😉😁

>>> "Mr. Wilson, should I call Cottrell and charter a couple of school buses?" <<< "Let everyone walk, the exercise will do them good." 😁 Peevo's peeved?

Fiskars is a well trusted name in limbing and trimming saws and shears. We look forward to your reports.

It's a Festivus miracle!

We are trying to have a SOCIETY here!!! 😠

The kid's father: Tommy Swolb. 🤔

The second video caused me to be nostalgic for: 1. Mighty Taco song parody commercials. There was one for this Spencer Davis Group song. 2. Gabels bar, Hertel Ave. Wednesday night, 50 cent California Coolers, although it was their version of the drink. Vodka and something or other. 😁

As a further 'haw haw' to the hedge trimming follies, I was on cleanup duty as my father was clipping when the neighbour stopped to talk. This truck driver father and PE instructor neighbour were brainstorming an idea to set a gas mower on a frame of angle iron and just pushing the mower along to trim. Never mind that you now have a blade whirling at chest height, and no real provision to trim the sides of the hedge, it was a winner! 😳 No consideration given to assembly / disassembly time of the contraption, either. 🤨

Why was 'Hide the Pain Harold' at OBD? 🤔 * (He seems to have lost weight.)

With the savings, he can buy a vise! 🙄🤨 Did you mean Hilti? 🤨

The problem with these newer manual reel mowers is they are cheaply made, and little care is placed in their manufacturing. Grass is ripped, whereas the manual reel mowers of the 50s actually sheared the grass. My father had conniptions because our mailman would toss the twine from mail bundles onto the grass, screwing up the sharpness of the reel. The air would be blue with curses when that happened. 🤬

Seeing the corded A.C. versions reminds me of my father and his Sunbeam electric hedge clipper in the 1960s. The corner lot of the Buffalo house had a privet hedge along the entire perimeter, and a great certainty of every Spring trim was either one of his fingers or the trimmer cord was going to get sliced. There was more electrical tape on the cord than in Niagara Mohawk. * As a thank you premium, a hardware chain gave a Black and Decker battery operated hedge trimmer with each lawn mower purchased. "Great!" we all said, until we found that one of these battery operated units in 1970 got you about 20 feet of hedge trimmed before it died an ignoble death, and took a good 36 hours to recharge. 🤨

It's been years since I used one at 'Bride the Second's' house, a postage stamp of a lawn in Crystal Beach. I just signed into my Consumer Reports account, and there's an amazing amount of them that receive the 'CR Recommended' banner, in a wide price range. However, there's not one listed that received the CR 'Best Buy'. I don't know if that's something that CR has dropped. * EDIT: The setup from years ago had two batteries with the mower, and a charger. I would advise that second battery, so if the first dies, you're ready with the second. Rarely is buying a second battery later cost efficient.

I think this is the worst that I've seen:

Would this be a good time to suggest Ertz? 🤔

Charles Assless? I motion that for 2025 season, Kincaid is officially unofficially referred to as 'Tiny' Kincaid. * Beats the season we all referred to Kroft as 'Pufnstuf'. 🤨

True, but Beane and his overly generous player contract extensions are leading to cuts in other areas...🙁

Dunkirk Don is not that rich. We all know his other attributes. 🤨 (I'll wager he claimed that meal as a 'business expense'.)

Are those QBs, or characters out of GTA5? 🤔

The 'laugh' reaction was for the Cousins observation. So, what's next for Carr? RuPaul's Drag Race? 🤔

Beane: Sounds like he's better at poker and euchre, not so good at pinochle. 😁

I certainly admire the gritty moxie and unbridled enthusiasm of Kirk 'YOU LIKE THAT?!' Cousins over some of the lesser lights of previous years:

Funny, perhaps. Ironic is probably just as appropriate. You'll be shaking hands with so many TBDers that you'll have arm pain. 🤔🙁
