    Yard maintenance demands are pretty hefty at our place, as some neighbours have huge, old, beautiful (but messy) trees that scatter leaves all throughout our garden beds. We routinely do 40-50 bags of leaves each fall and a ton of branches throughout the year. Have been using a cheap Ryobi leaf blower that was underpowered for my needs, so decided it was finally time to upgrade. Very impressed. Should have bought it sooner. 



    have the same one.  lasts long enough to clear the decks, docks, and the boat on high. thats enough for me

    Not sure how it is in GWN, but I pay the neighborhood crew under the table to clean up my yard twice a year. Much cheaper. Maybe slightly unethical. 
    We found a guy in our neighborhood that only charges $35 a week to take care of the yard and does an amazing job.

    And it’s a game changer for getting leaves out of garden beds, from under cedars, etc. - from anywhere they would otherwise be trapped by plants and bushes. 

    Hard to believe there’s a more powerful model available.

    The Ultimate Grill Bricks by GrillprO, made in Canada!  Picked them up at the Restore store.  Six of them are missing, so I talked them down from a dollar to 66¢.  They're about 5/16" thick, plan to use as spacers for my drip pan.  They could also be used as spacers in that patented Double-Dutch indirect setup thing, but likely never doing that cook.

    Mac has changed:
    I started at 10.5 and paid (paid) for a 3-install upgrade.
    Than kept at it until it would upgrade no further.
    Next is a 2017 iMac, upgraded with 32gb memory and latest (last) OS it'll get........
    Than they changed to another CPU rendering everything PRIOR to be a dead end.....
    You can see where that may have irked a few persons....

    Simplifying my leisure traveling clothes-have recently acquired (including tonight) a few pieces of dry fit clothing to compact the attire and make the laundry and reuse effective and quick.  
    Recently met a couple (Europeans who are masters at this gig) on the road for 3 months.  20 kilos (44 lbs) total suitcase weight.  Dry-fit was a key piece of their attire.

    I know us Canadians are pretty strange with our bagged milk and all, but this is the first time I’ve seen such an offering. Trying it for kicks. Cappuccinos will be especially rich this weekend.

    I bought sheetz diesel for about 3 months because it is quite a bit cheaper but I noticed a big difference in performance. The last straw was when I barely passed a car with my 24’ flat bed trailer.

    @Battleborn- that move is a win across the board.  Enjoy the event and the camaraderie of the tournament.  A great cause and a definitely enjoyable time.

    Not sure, I am starting in person car comparison shopping. I had been planning to wait until fall but I got a potentially interesting email offer from my current dealer. Not that he has a chance, his service department sucks Shrek’s bath water through a paper straw.

    Okay Toyota BZ is off of the potentials list. Toyota CH is very much on the list . The first handled like a barge and the second was much better handling. The difference is the CH is AWD and the BZ is FWD. The search continues.

    Started w their Weed Eater and then blower and now Mower.  Only issue is those batteries are pricey, created an alert on Slick Deals and got one a few weeks back for 1/2 off.

    Just Vote- What if you could choose "none of the above" on an election ballot? Millions of Americans do just that, in effect, by not voting.  The result in 2016: "Nobody" won more counties, more states, and more electoral votes than either candidate for president.

    I’ve found a lot of unused batteries going for cheap on the used market. People buy Ego bundles and then resell the batteries.

    Had heard really good things about one of the city’s most loved nurseries. Went for our first visit today and picked up some stuff. Unfortunately, this winter decimated a few of our biggest shrubs, so we (I) have some replanting to do.
