Time to learn reverse

 

Who uses an Ego Power self-propelled walk behind lawn mower? Good, bad, indifferent? My yard is mostly green, sans grass. I am in a pickle to throw more parts on my Toro Recycler or buy an EP.

 

Depends on how tall of grass or whatever green stuff, and how large is the patch you are cutting.
I too was curious about the electric mowers. Was given some insight by the city parks guys as to what to expect. The city is trying to go all green, but the technology is not quite there yet. If it's just a small side yard, they work great. 1/4 acre of grass, not going to cut it all on one battery. If it's taller than the wheels, you might get 15 minutes out of a battery. I forget what kind they are using, Stihl maybe? They do seem to like the electric trimmers though.
My brother has one and keeps his grass shorter than a Marines haircut so he can do it on a couple batteries when it grows an inch. Batteries ain't cheap.
My mother has one of the Toro recycler 22" self propelled walk behinds and the mulching capability is pretty sad compared to my 28 year old Craftsman push mower. Just no blade options for the Toro.

 

Latest Update on the LC100 - Rode the bike up to Winter Park this morning and put in a new Denso Ignition coil in the LC. She fired right up, no CEL or codes appeared while she idled for about 5 minutes. That's when I threw the bike in the back and drove her home. It feels so good to have the LC back on the road.

@JasonLee - I guess my cup was have full this morning. However, I did bring along two more ignition coils just in case another one or two went bad on the drive home.

Here is a photo of the faulty ignition coil

 

Oh no. Hope he’s okay.

 

He'll be fine. It's a benign tumor on his upper eyelid that needs to be frozen and snapped off or something along those lines. Problem is it has to be done by an eye specialist and there are only 5 along the front range. CSU vet center, booked out for the next two months, Animal eye clinic in Loveland, who I left a message with to set an appointment asap, then one each in Westminster, Denver and Colorado springs.
Apparently animal ophthalmologists are the highest paid vet profession bringing in 200k to 400k a year, so it won't be the cheapest thing to have done.
A general practioner might be willing to do it, but it means calling all the vets in the book and seeing if they have the time and skill to do it, and IF I'm comfortable with letting a regular schmo have at it.

 

My GF's blind cat had to eventually have her eye removed. By an animal ophthalmologist specialist. The only way to go, honeslty but yeah not cheap.

Sending Archer healthy vibes.

 

THE TREE CLIBBINS GAT ME! HADDALAYER DOWN!

 

The Animal Eye Center can get Archer in Wednesday the 5th at 11:00 am!

 

Oh good!!!
Hope all is well

 

Ran into a ton of blue columbines this weekend up by Kings Canyon. Pre neat.

 

Saw a Bandit Edition Camaro on the highway earlier today. I didn't realize they existed, so had to Google... Supercharged 7.4L tuned for ~840HP, 6-speed manual, signed by Burt Reynolds. Only 77 made. They listed at $115k new and are worth much more than that now.

Good ol’ Burt?

 

Is this your celebrity crush?

Sorry, but I think no doors looks goofy AF on anything but a jeep CJ or Wrangler. I'd opt for hitting the salvage yard, and building half doors, and setting them up on quick pins.
YMMV

 

Agreed, if you have a carpet floor, you should have doors.
