Good morning!!!!

Does your FIL have any batteries of the tools you mentioned. When you buy a new tool and no battery is needed the price is substantially less.

No, no batteries as of yet.

 

[txdon]

No, no batteries as of yet.

If he thinks in the future he might want an EGO Lawnmower, or hedge clippers or blower or weedeater or edger or chainsaw he should look at their pole saw. If he Ever plans to expand look what else the battery will run and go with the brand that he can stick with. 56V EGO batteries fit in all their products.
This looks like a pretty honest review that tells the positive and negative of the EGO. The biggest negative I think every chainsaw will do, when the chain gets loose it comes off. da.

Koala has been here for a couple of days but my camera caught him leaving at 3.30 pm today. He will be back in due course. Also had a deer here today. Don't see them often. And of course 'Pedro' the scrub turkey arrived for his tea.
Very busy day once again. A trip to Toowoomba with the Honda and trailer for steel mesh and top hat to fix up the aviary. Stepson coming tomorrow to help with that. Then I had another trip to the city in the Ranger to get some much needed items. Already had a early morning run to the local town for tie down straps, buckets, mops etc and the obligatory Woodstock.
So, tomorrow is going to be another busy busy day. Hopefully the new year will not be as chaotic. Maybe I bring it on myself?

Coffee is done brewing. 31° with fog this morning. Heading to 41° with cloudy skies. Little bit of snow to plow this morning. Did spend some time in neighbors woods. Fire started on Monday was still going. Put more logs and branches on the pile. Will probably still be going today. Shame to have to waste all that warmth. Could keep a house warm for a year or more. Back into the woods again today.
Get a variety of birds at feeder at one time.

Don and Kyle, good your knee is getting better. But sleepless nights can get you down quickly. I checked out the Ego product line. Very similar to the Ryobi. I wonder it the attachments will work on the Ryobi product line. My Ryobi 40V power head is Brushless. Seems work almost as good as the 25cc gas power head I have.

RNG, have a great trip. We will be here when you get back this year or next year.

Alien, with all the things you have done this year. You will need a rest for a few hours next year.

Randy, how did carpet cleaner shopping go.

Rich, hope you get your Satellite system up and running again.

Roy, hope you are feeling better today.

David, hope work on caretaker project gets completed. Have you had any luck with finding a caretaker.

Everyone stay safe and healthy.

Good Morning All.

60 high of 68 today maybe rain maybe not

Prayers for all

63 going to 65 on this fine April day. Probably rain...Weather man said 2 to 3 inches over next few days...that would be more than all of November and December, so far.

Ron, we were given a new bird feeder for Christmas that looks very much like yours...hopefully ours will be as attractive to the birds as yours has been.

Repaired two firewood pallet racks yesterday...now need to get busy with the chainsaw to fill them up.

House is quiet...probably declare a rest day after taking the trash and recycles to the "dump" and getting a hike in while over that way. It was nice having family here, and 2 dogs and a cat.

Then I had another trip to the city in the Ranger to get some much needed items.

So, did everything turn out fine after drying the Ranger? (this is the one that got flooded?)

 

[ronjhall]

Ron, we were given a new bird feeder for Christmas that looks very much like yours...hopefully ours will be as attractive to the birds as yours has been.

I added a 3/8" perch to this feeder. It allows bigger birds to feed without turning sideways. Also cut down on the opening that seed feeds down to birds. Before I did that birds would empty feeder in a couple of days. Most of it ending on ground.
