    Default Coming out of the closet

    I am officially coming out of the closet and announcing that I am now using almost entirely electric yard tools. I know this is gayer than drinking from a straw. But damn if it isn't great to not deal with gas, spark plugs, cranking, and general engine horseshit.

    Glad my dad wasn't able to see me living this way.

    Rodney, what kind? I've got a greenworks chainsaw and blower that are pretty good. Been very impressed. The chainsaw is very handy for around the house cleanup.

    If this is an angle to get your wife to do more yardwork, then bravo...otherwise you might as well go ahead and buy some capri pants.

    I've got a Worx battery powered blower. The SOB has literally changed my life. Besides the fact that my wife now does it all, sweep a porch in 1 minute flat, a patio in less, a barn floor in about 5.

    My wife has a battery powered trimmer and blower. I really like them. They don't disturb me near as much when I'm sitting around the fire pit, drinking beer.
    The strongest reason for the people to retain the right to keep and bear arms is,
    as a last resort, to protect themselves against tyranny in government.

    I bought my wife one, we've got porches, patios, sitting areas and such. I've got a backpack husqvarna, she wasn't going to crank that thing.

    Peenworks is what we call that company. Don't buy their snow blowers, if you ever move to where you need one. My brother's video of one in action was downright comical regarding its ineffectiveness. I could've moved more snow shoveling with just a popsicle stick.

    The danger is what other battery powered "instruments" will that lead to your wife buying?
    The Elites don't fear the tall nails, government possesses both the will and the means to crush those folks. What the Elites do fear (or should fear) are the quiet men and women, with low profiles, hard hearts, long memories, and detailed target folders for action as they choose.

    Make sure your man bun is tied tightly. Wouldn't want you to get it caught up in the electric motor.
