New England B.S. Thread

She’s in for the season.

 

Well the B is for Blue and to me I never understood the difference between Indigo and Blue.

 

Indigo is purplish-blue. My C5 in the right lighting had an indigo coloring on it. Compare the rear fascia by the license plate to the rest of the car. The fascia almost looks purple whereas the rest of the car is blue.

 

I'm not saying your wrong but it looks blue to me

 

It's like the line between yellow, orange, and red. Indigo is defined by a wavelength that's right about halfway between blue and violet on the electromagnetic spectrum, so it's natural that you might see it as more like one or the other, just like we might disagree about when a red is really an orange.

 

I think the dress is indigo and black.

 

My dad had a 2003 F-250. Sometimes it looked blue, sometimes purple. I think it depended on weather it was sunny or cloudy that day.

 

That was exactly my C5, in the right light it looked like someone sprayed over the blue with a thin coat of red.

 

"I swear officer, the traffic light was orange when I went through the intersection!"

 

I used to own a shirt that I thought was clearly orange, but had to debate with a few people that it wasn't red.

 

Lawn mower recommendations? Like, sub-$300 for 1/4 acre... overwhelmed with the options

 

Only a 1/4 acre? Battery with a mulching blade

 

Yeah I'm out of this one, I don't know anything about battery machines nowadays.

How easy is the yard?

$599 Husqvarna Automower 115H 4G Robotic Lawn Mower with Patented Guidance System, Automatic Lawn Mower with Self Installation and Ultra-Quiet Smart Mowing Technology for Small to Medium Yards (0.4 Acre)

That's what I'm thinking. Options are endless, Ryobi or Greenworks might be the final decision

Yard is easy, in theory haha

 

Do you have any battery operated yard equipment now? If so give consideration to sticking with one battery type. Greenworks looks to be more expensive but seems to more closely mimic a gas powered mower for width and features. There’s also Stihl. I have a Stihl battery blower and battery pole hedge trimmer both which work great.

 

Just a Toro snowblower and the mowers are out of my budget

 

If you like the battery idea then Greenworks is supposed to be the front runner in that realm. You can’t go wrong with a general Toro walk behind push mower too.

I'm still working the free commercial walk behind I got from the gracious @vssman several years ago.

 

Ryobi has a 20” push mower 40V at 299 on sale at HD. It doesn’t offer self propelled if you’re okay with that . I don’t think a gas self propelled will be under $300. https://www.homedepot.com/p/RYOBI-4...6-0-Ah-Battery-and-Charger-RY401170/317061059

 

You still have that thing, eh? It’s a good machine. I was going to pick up a zero turn rider but got a guy to cut the lawn instead.

 

Yeah the Greenworks package I'm looking at is a solid deal:

$330 Greenworks 48V (2x24V) 17" Brushless Mower+12" String Trimmer +320CFM Blower,(2) 4.0Ah Batteries and 2A Dual Port Charger

https://www.amazon.com/Greenworks-Brushless-Cordless-Batteries-Compatible/dp/B0CT3Y7KLF?ie=UTF8&th=1
&

$210 Greenworks 40V 16" Cordless (Push) Lawn Mower (75+ Compatible Tools), 4.0Ah Battery and Charger Included

https://www.amazon.com/GreenWorks-25322-Mower-Battery-Included/dp/B00BBQVL5U?ie=UTF8&th=1

Saw that, and this package, but 18V isn't all that much for a mower
