Good evening all. 79ºF for the start, partly cloudy sky, light breeze. moderate wind with bricks gusts, afternoon build ups and high temp was 103ºF, HI 113ºF. made coffee to start day, got bills paid and checks in the mail. Bike ride was hot. Cooled off for lunch then napped and puttered for the afternoon. Yesterday "new" trimmer ran out of string couldn't find new head so used old trimmer. Man old one heavier and has more HP. Found new head and got in installed inspite of confusing instruction. They should have been more clear on how to tell if trimmer has arbor or not and which figure to refer to when you figure whether you have arbor or not. But it is done.
