I saw one of those being advertised but no, I should have qualified that Yvonne’s mini mower has a blade albeit light weight. Come to think of it, my gas weed eater has a couple of blades that I install for larger projects like cutting down bamboo and stuff like that.

Just experience. All the other options are inclusive with experience. With experience I know how much to trust a gut feeling and with that same experience I know that what I read, see and hear can at times be faulty information and not an absolute truth. What I think ultimately comes...

Okay, my take on the “mini-mower”. This time of the year, Yvonne wants me to put the catch bag on the gas mower so she can have the clippings for mulch. In short, the bag makes mowing more cumbersome and as it fills, it gets heavier which makes mowing the lawn that much harder. Notably, our...

A heavy duty philosophical point and extremely thought provoking ! After some deliberation, I think that if one has helped at least a single person navigate through a hard patch in their life, then one’s life is not wasted. Moreover, if that aid somehow carried through to the next generation...

About 15 minutes ago I got a food alert that left me with some very mixed feelings. There were so many ads attached to the alert, I didn’t get which company was responsible but it appears that “chocolate” is being recalled. At first I said to myself, no worries because the only chocolate I...

I really can’t convey the words. Just like hearing about, reading about and seeing pictures of a complete 3 tiered rainbow, the grand canyon or Niagara Falls isn’t enough until I actually experienced them for myself and be completely beyond awed to the point that the raw emotion can’t be...

I’m getting some mixed information. Rubio said that “IF” J.D. ran for the Presidency that he’d be the first one in line to endorse him. Since I haven’t heard or read anything to the contrary, I assumed that Vance’s name was already in the hat but Rubio’s statement tells me that there’s...

I just read something that I really believe needs to be passed on. There wasn’t a name assigned to the statement. Maybe Maya Angelou because I know she wrote, “Forgive yourself for things you didn’t know until you learned it” but I digress. To be sure, the statement below reminds me that...

I have a long history of working in the Food and Beverage industry which is totally based on pleasing people and as such, the workers in that industry are compliment driven. Whilst working in the above industry, I guess the best compliment I have received was when I was the Executive Chef at...

If Hal Polner (RIP) were still around, he’d ask if you have high arches and were wearing 6” heels when you did that stepping. :)

I’ve worked and played in the Everglades of Florida and fished in many a bayou of S. Louisiana and all it took was a bottle of “Skin So Soft” to ward off the insects. Sadly, I have found no such thing in the form of prevention other than high wind that will keep those prehistoric critters ya’ll...

Maybe helps with mosquitoes in the lower 48 but that Alaska breed ? Those things are hatched in the sulfurous depths of hell to begin with.

Yep, everything about me indicates that I am a complainer. My neck complains, my ankles and knees complain, my back complains, shoulders and elbows complain. Heck, when they’re not complaining they still pop and snap so much I sound like a commercial for a breakfast cereal.

Yes indeed. Brings a tear. I set up a small sound system in my shop and the other day I had Dalton, Delta Blues (old gospel and southern blues) and a couple of other ai generated songsters resinating throughout. No matter what the “could be’s, would be’s or actually is at the present...

A person doesn’t have to OD on meth to know it can kill ya. Now, so far as those of us boomers who discovered the various realities of life via experience and research, if apathy exists in even those, how then can resistance prevail? In math if we add a +1 to a -1, we get 0.

it doesn’t take arms or great speeches or even large amounts of money to best and rule over the apathetic. There’s another thread about the Mamdani election in NY City, but to bring it to mind anyway, Mamdani won with only 39% of those eligible to vote and of that, nearly 75% were between 18...

It’s still early but the best thing so far is that I woke up in my right mind and fully cognizant of the fact that if I wasn’t in my right mind I probably wouldn’t know the difference anyway. To be honest though, it’s always a good start of a day when my wife comes out with a smile on her...

Yup. Meant to tell ya about the one I ran over with the lawnmower.

Yes and all of mine are not only rechargeable but all 6 have USB ports to charge up other stuff that has USB. ports for charging up stuff that has USB ports to charge up stuff that has USB ports

Ah yes, a little known, almost secret move on the part of a good senior husband in that we have a tendency to invest in futures. When we see a tool that might come in handy, we purchase it. We do so not to stress out our lovely mates but instead, we’re hoping that in the future we can manage...
