Which will be fine and dandy in 5 years when the whole group is
senile. We'll have a lot to gab about then even though we've heard

I have thick stalks to deal with, so that is why the cheap string
trimmers are unacceptable for the job. I have about an acre of property
to deal with. There are a couple dozen trees, about 150 feet of stone
wall, a kennel, a shed, and a barn to trim around. Then there are two
streams/drainage ditches to do. It is usually too wet to get into clean
them out in the spring, and by the time it is dry enough the stuff is
pretty thick.

Small electric or battery powered trimmers might be enough for the
average house, but they can't handle what I had to deal with.

1970 Husqvarna 400 Cross- The bike that killed the 4-stroke dinosaurs of
the 60's and opened the door on the new breed of dirt bikes- light
weight, powerful 2-strokes.

Did you mean 1390 square feet? I think you're being generous in that
estimation.

What's wrong, Mr. Candy Maker, can't figure out how to make your own
chocolate with rasperries? BTW, it's not OXOXO, it's 'Chocolove XOXOX'.

Not half as pitiful as your constant obsessing over him and relentless
gangstalking.

You're a sick person by any common measure.

You really are a hateful old shrew aren't you?

Still bitching out the old folks home menu?

Or are these guys the replacement targets>

How often do you often steal groceries from the supermarket, John?
Because only a kleptomaniac would constantly say "I BOUGHT and am
eating...".

After about the 20th time it's pretty obvious you're a thief. And a
liar, and just a PSYCHO ion general.

Come to think of it you probably stole that lawnmower, too, seeing
as how you're lying about using it.
