I don’t think that is a thing on an electric mower

[spike]

[wease]

That was a question regarding battery life.

Our basement remodel began in earnest last week. The contractor finished the demo and is beginning to cut concrete this week. Every day after work is a fun surprise.

Are you positive the handle latches are locked into place near the base of the unit, and that the telescopic handle is extended as far out as it will go? It sounded like one of those safety features is powering you down.

Yeah. That’s not the issue. I started it and held the safely bar for 4 minutes and it ran smooth as silk. It’s only when I actually move the mower that it dies. I’ve looked for some kind of odd sensor or something and can’t find anything.

Trag was exactly fucking correct. I called customer service and there are sensors at those latches both where it telescopes up from and at the frame of the mower. There’s also one for the mulching plug/bagger. One of the latches was just a tiny bit unfastened and that was it. Good call trag. Should’ve listened to you from the start, my friend.

Trag on his way to redemption from the Cinnabon debacle.

Whenever there's active promotion on the part of somebody else, whenever I see somebody all dolled up for a fancy photograph and someone's handing out flyers or whenever there's active promotion for something like that, as an imposition on my day, I hate all those people and I want them to fail. I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

Got an unexpected bill for $832 in my mailbox this afternoon, that’s how much my escrow shortage is going to be this year, largely because of a local tax increase.

Yeah that’s fun. But .. resale value.

The window job we put money down on in April is finally finishing up* this week. Installer dude said the living room picture window with double-hungs on each side was the largest/heaviest window he's ever installed. Took 4 people to set it in place.

*haha not really because we're still missing a window that he'll have to come back for at some undetermined point in the future

I want to paint my little office/closet in the second bedroom but not sure what color.

Also need to touch up some trim paint. That will be white.
