NW WA Meet / BS Thread

I bought a battey lawnmower last year, and it's hands down the best mower I've ever owned.

Nice. I'm going to have a pretty damn small lawn in my back yard and will probably just get an older mower from a garage sale. Battery technology is just going to keep getting better though. Years ago when I was flying electric RC airplanes I was amazed with the power I got with Lipo batteries and brushless motors. As long as you didn't puncture the batteries, then they vent flames.

Hedge trimmers and weedeater and stuff I'll be looking at electric. Been eyeing all the DeWalt 20V Max tools.

 

I'm a really big fan of the 20v max stuff too.

 

Washington was just ranked 17th in the country on being eco friendly lol

 

#6.

 

I like the Tonka look of the third gens too.

 

Isn't your "friend" using a gas powered generator to charge his car in that pic? And mind you hes parked on the side of the road, which means, more then likely he ran out of fuel...er power...amps?

 

Saw a sign for new construction on 85th in Greenwood today. 4 story apartment building, 0 parking spots, 23 small efficiency units and 1 apartment unit. Can you still call it an apartment building then? And this new bullshit law about new buildings not needing to have parking spots is fucking ludicrous.

 

The weird side of the state..

 

I went green last year too.....moved to AZ.....no fucking grass to mow.

picture is a joke from the internet. I sent it to him though hah

 

You can borrow my mower man. I only have roughly 200 sq ft green patch for a front lawn and its 85% moss.

 

this patch is so small I could use scissors lol. I might hit you up on that offer though while I'm out garage saleing.
I need to jump into suspension maintenance right away starting with uniball replacement. Just bought some tools to replace what was stolen

 

When you gotta move a 1200# safe to the second floor.

 

I might be able to wonder down and help a bit.

 

Can you get rid of it or do you have an HOA? I got rid of ALL of my grass front and back by terracing my front yard and putting in bark/plants. My backyard I put in a paver patio and a garden. Ironically, I'll be turning my vegetable garden back into grass (via sod) soon since we're selling.

 

HOA, but they are really laid back about little things. The only rule i have found is if you take out a tree or plant you "have to" have "plan" to replant. Other than that the wife is still figuring out what she wants to do. I do what she tells me to and she lets me buy thing i don't really need.

 

Can you imagine getting rear-ended by that dude and having a Hi-Lift hit your car going 30 mph? I always thing about those Jeep guys with a hi-lift on their hood getting hit from the back and it going through their windshield at chest-level.

 

you have to have a plan AND re-plant? or just have a plan and not follow through?
