this was the lightest weight push cordless mower I could find with a decent approval rating and a 3 yr warranty.
want to use it around the house, easier for me to push this than use a weedeater in some larger areas I can't fit
the riding mower into.
just a little trimming mower, would go 21 if trying to cut any area at all

minced fresh chives in the morning scrambled eggs, yum.

Cracker Barrel :oops: around 15 years ago Mrs. and I traveling thru Nashville and she wanted to stop at Cracker Barrel one evening so we did,weren't seated very long and announcement tornado had touch down several miles from us :oops: I notice number of folks show no concern,I said that's just great to Mrs. and told her look around on the walls,hay forks saws hoes etc. etc.,couple over heard me had good laugh and said don't worry about it until it happens...it was quick meal I recall.

Yes, they kind of perfected the quick sit down meal, same no matter where you go.
However, I’m used to them being packed with people. Last night just a handful of people at supper time. Probably 10 tables of people. We were slightly early, maybe that was it. Food was good.

Wife reminded me she had homemade soup in the fridge, in a big butter container. Yes, she is a southerner. So I heated a couple bowls for supper. Still think I’ll run into Lowe’s in a bit, maybe DQ on way home.

Good Morning!!!! 51F @ 6:15AM. Sun and clouds mixed. High around 75F. Winds WSW at 5 to 10 mph.

Wow! We went from debating causes of violent crime to rolling in :poop: in just a few posts. Can't call this crew narrow minded...

Jumpered the fuel pump on the VW directly to the battery yesterday and the darn thing still wouldn't start. I give up, and we'll have to push the thing out of the way for the house painters today.

A neighbor came over and we killed a bottle of wine around the camp fire, but were still unable to solve even one of the world's problems. That's job security...
…Ran into a chum
With a bottle of rum…

Drew, I had much the same experience as you way back when I was a young'un. It got so bad that I told the dentist NOT to freeze my face for a mere filling. He insisted and I walked out, second time he wanted to freeze my face I asked him if he was forgetful or stupid. I walked out again and NEVER went back. In 1970 I got all my teeth out and haven't seen a dentist since. NO falsies either. I have had zero teeth longer than I had teeth and have no regrets.

Near the farm in Ohio, they spent $1M of C ovid money to remove some rocks on a hill side. Never could figure that one out.
It was the “Granite Variant”

YAY! NEW TOY!

That I don’t know how to run…. But at least I didn’t break anything or hurt anyone.
Congratulations!

But...

Did it really cost $88K?

For that money, I'd be shopping for a real construction grade backhoe. Or for a bit more than half that, a construction grade TLB like the Kubota M62. The backhoe on mine has a 14' reach, and probably more down force than the mini-ex.

$.02. and probably not worth even that much...

No, that is list price.

bucket, thumb, 4-way blade, extended warranty, insurance taxes, fees etc came in about 60. 0/0-36months.

the nice shiny black paint on the bucket has been replaced by shiny bare metal and mud.

I have terrain and projects that require the mobility of a mini-ex. The land ‘round these parts is, well, “textured”. . .🤣😂🤣

Trying to picture in my mind with that frame in my luggage making my way to Paul’s
I'm a heck of a lot closer than Paul, and have been known to cut metal things up and stick them back together so they don't come apart again...😳😂

If you're talking steep and rough, I very much understand. I have spent almost as much time on three wheels as four on some days here.

Remind me of my Dad. Had them all out when I was a Senior in HS. Fitted for false teeth, maybe wore a couple of times before landing on back of his dresser, never to be worn again.

He would have turned 100 today, but passed 20 years ago.
