    I have several batteries, different ages and usages, seems random how long one will last. I’m thinking there’s too much resistance on the spinning bits as it seems to get hot too fast. As always, I’ll do my best to fix before buying new, but it’s a drag constantly fixing shit to avoid feeding the beast.

    All of the above but Trump votin’. My wife is happy to push the electric DeWalt around. First electric mower, scored it new for $199, bought a pair of batteries and a charger. Pretty happy.

    Neighbor chunked a very nice looking ICE mower. Going to take it down the street to the retired small-engine guy. He’ll probably charge $20 + parts, maybe $40 tops. But now I’m wondering if I can even sell it for a profit. I could haul it to camp for random chopping work, but then I got another gas engine to fuck with. Probably not worth it.

    At my job (Lowe’s) we sell almost all battery mowers. As cheap as ICE mowers are, not seeing them run out the door nearly as fast. Haven’t seen one sold yet, but I’m outside garden.

    Anyone got tips on a battery weed eater? Mine’s pretty well shot, eats full batteries in minutes. Thinking on trying EGO stuff from Lowe’s since I get a discount. Inside lawn and garden expert told me they’re the best on the market ATM. ?

    Laughing at y’all who didn’t exist before microwave ovens. Mom used to heat shit up on the stove, for all meals, and grandma was terrified of microwaves, evil radiation machines! Still have dad’s microwave detector from Radio Shack, LOL, like microwaves are ionizing. And BTW, you could use the light bulbs to cook on they were so hot. Tried grabbing a wimpy 60W incandescent lately?

    When I was last in Chicago my AC died. I could reach out and feel the incandescent bulb from across my tiny apartment. Imagine using a vacuum and a white-hot filament to achieve light. Step up from a candle I guess.

    I imagine explaining to my dad, “Nah, we just leave that light on all the time.”

    “Doesn’t that run up the bill?”

    “No. Not really.”
