Thank you guys for the detailed info.
I have the Ego 56V self-propelled mower. I use the high lift blades and the bag year round. I bought the kit that comes with the string trimmer and the blower. All work great. I found a refurbished hedge trimmer (half off) on eBay that works as well as all the rest. I was looking for a pole saw, but the Ego was priced outta control, so I bought a 40V Skil. It's in the same class as the Ego. Now I can add to whichever platform is cheaper. I do the same with my Ridgid and Milwaukee power tools.

I drove it for the first time in a month. It's been sitting in the garage with the Battery Tender and tank of ethanol-free gas.
Been laid up at home after knee replacement surgery. This is #2.
Follow-up with the doctor yesterday and got cleared to drive.
Getting old sucks but as long as they can keep patching me up I'll keep going.

Nice thing about the Ridgid tools is the lifetime warranty including the batteries.

Whose brilliant idea was it to put on a level and bigger tires and make it higher to get into?
Oh wait....

Nothing special but our weekly Sam's Club run for a few things. Noticed this sign inside and while I still had 3/4 of a tank I had to fill up at these prices! o_O

Anyone wanna bet they'll start going up after Tuesday? :lipssealed::curse:

So lucky I just paid 5.09/gal here in California.. and Mr NewScum signed a piece of paper that will add another $0.65/gal on top… the ranger and I both shed a tear.

So many Electric Cars here and no more $ for the state to squander. Insurance will try and get you by mileage, but when drive 100 miles a week to the store and pickup the kiddo's that aint much. Where are the all cars should be over 40mpg by whatever year? Wonder what will happen next?

That’s a really nice looking ride, a buddy of mine has a pretty nice one and the amount of money those real nice bikes cost I felt better about buying a motorcycle ?.

Yeah I’m all for better fuel eco, but it can only be as efficient as it can be and should be based around that..seems logical.. something that can pull heavy weight is going to use more fuel (gas or electric) my aunts Tesla can go ao
Many miles with just her, once my mom, my dad, and myself were taken for a ride her range had a measurable drop… you can’t have city type regulations work the same in a area where things are spread out. (Like you mentioned with keeping your weekly mileage under 100)… anyway I hope California can look inward and do some serious work on a proper reform.
