I have a 50 in zero turn mower and another 48 in cut rider here plus a finish deck for the tractor but I been living too much of a sedated lifestyle so got one of these to get me off my ass and active while accomplishing something.

Now I try to get 10,000 steps in a day walking and this sounded like a good idea at the time :giggle:

I still have to use a push mower to hit the areas I can't get with the rider. Just a little 21" job, but it gets the job done. I put in enough miles on my job to subject myself to trying to do the whole yard with it. That's some fancy looking push mower! My rider is only a 42" Craftsman Pro. Tried to talk the wife into letting me get a zero turn, but that didn't work....

That's exactly what I thought when he said mowing by hand - those things are deadly, but highly effective

I actually had the brilliant idea to use one of those on my (rather small) yard just to get more exercise. Worked great on the flat spots, doesn't work worth a shit on less than flat areas. Used it 3 or 4 times at most before going back to the gas mower just because of the dips and bumps in my yard.

I can nap today since the rain is keeping the kids off the lawn.
I officially retire next month. After then those kids cannot sneak over while I am at work.
Need to automate it with motion detectors and loudspeakers....

On another note a new Achilles RDA but not for Andria I think?
Click to expand...

Not a *real* Achilles at all -- by titanium-mods.com -- those are all 22mm. The only Achilles I'm interested in is either an authentic by titanium-mods or a clone of one of theirs -- Achilles or Achilles 2.

Even if I found that humongous one attractive, I have no mod it would look decent on.

Just got into it with Walmart online. I ordered a bunch of stuff so i didnt have to drive to town, haul all that heavy stuff out to the car, load it and drive it home. So what they do, USPS has it and left me a pink non delivery tag even tho I was home all day and my gate was wide open. The lazy bitch mail lady couldnt be bothered to drive up my driveway and honk the damn horn. Now I gotta drive to the post office tomorrow, load all that shit up in the car and drive it home.

Told walmart it totally negates any benefit of buying online and if thats the way its going to be I might as well go back to doing all my shopping at the local piggly Wiggly and not with them.

Some things are enough cheaper at wally world that I buy them there. Nestles Quick and Smuckers Strawberry Jam for a couple. Basic necessities of life :)

Ditto, though we also shop Ingles and Aldi for some things -- best thing about where we live now is how close we are to everything we most need. :) Groceries, check; library, check; computer/electronics store, check; Target, check; Home Depot, check; hubby's work, check; several dollar stores, check. All except the computer/electronics store is within 2.5 miles, and the electronics store is only about 4-5 miles. :)

This will sound crazy. Living in the north I never saw a piggly wiggly and was always highly amused by the name. Last year I finally got to go out of state and that was the first place I went once we got our apartment in myrtle beach I was so stinking excited about it for no reason whatsoever

Our local Kroger is awesome. They employ a lot of mentally handicapped from a nearby halfway home. Most can't bag worth a shit, but they're very sweet.

We also like to support our local Costco. They pay excellent wages and their employees seem to love working there.

My Krogers also has a 'slow' bagger. One day I was not paying attention when he asked me if I wanted my milk in a bag, so he repeated a bit loud. I nicely said in a bag please. Afterwards a manager approaced me an apologized for the bagger being loud.
I told him it was my fault and not to give the bagger any trouble over it or I would chew the managers butt.
And that I thought the bagger did a good job. the next time I saw the bagger I noted his name and sent an email of praise to Kroger.
Both for hiring him and for his good job.

Kroger IS, indeed, awesome. Costco is the polar fucking opposite of fucking Walmart

Okay now I have 0 desire to ever go to one. Thanks for the run down :)

It truly was like any other small town grocery store. All in all I was so excited about everything it was barely a blip in my radar, we saved money by buying groceries instead of eating out. But I can say I've done it so there's that

I get excited about strange things, I'm easily amused

See, I never got the hatred of walmart. Where else can someone with the skill set of being a buggy pusher (not saying by a long shot all walmart employees are like that, just buggy pushers) able to have a job with a 401K and insurance available to them?
