I've got a weird little 7' X 22' strip between a deck and the neighbors fence. The idea of having to drive down that and then back out pretty much sold me.
Might I recommend a roll cage -

One of our smarter politicians here in Idaho is introducing legislation to get rid of smog checks. We only do it in Ada and Canyon counties, and 97% of cars pass first time. Also, air quality tests say our air is very good. Waste of everyone's time and money. Hope it goes through.

There are volumes dedicated to the accurate restoration of old recordings. There were no standards for the eq curves applied on the early lathes.

That's old news. I'm talking about real-time.

Is that the one that uses the new, huge m18 styled batteries? I went with their weed whacker last yeas and then found out they were ditching the old battery for all their new outdoor tools.

TBH I though you would have a GPS, robo lawn mower. I thought about it but, figured someone would nick it.

no, they're using all standard milwaukee m18 batteries. it just needs 2 of them. this is just the 12.0 battery, the largest they sell. all of milwaukee's yard tools use the same form factor m18 batteries. just different capacities. milwaukee's next largest battery is the mx series, but i don't believe that's sold in any stores.

one of the biggest reasons to getting this over other brands is that i can use the batteries in all my other tools. runner up was the eco mower, but then i'm stuck with a massive battery that only does one job.

i've got the weed whacker and the blower. it was a buy one, get the other and a battery for free deal, got a 9.0 battery with that. it lives on the work truck. i keep some older 5.0 batteries around the house for lawn duties.

i'm going to see how the summer goes. if i can do my lawn with only some 6.0's, the 12.0's will also migrate to work tool duty.

I thought most all cars in Idaho were exempt anyway -

Good on the mower.

I wouldn't worry about that Real Estate broker - he is just an ugly dude trying to drum up business - his daughter is the one you should be worried about -
