Be careful what you wish for... Less polluted air leads to more hurricane activity, NOAA study says

I have the EGO mower, not bad but the suction power doesn't compare and you cant use it on moist grass. Definitely like it though.

I have the EGO snow blower, total beast and recommend that even though it whines like a baby screaming for food

I got too many trees and leaves so I need the power of gas for a leaf blower.

Until they figure out how to compete its a gas blower for me, I love the sound and feel of it. Volcanoes are producing more CO2 than my blower, don't worry.

So is every human on planet earth simply by exhaling CO2.

Battery technology will continue to get better and better in the years ahead. Im reminded of my cordless Nicad drill from the late 1990s...about 15 yrs later, batteries went to Lithium and got much better...so logically, in the near future, we should see a much better battery,this is how technological progress happens, (it doesnt just stall out at one point)

My yard is pretty big. And a corner lot. Here's the thing: I hate yardwork. So... I don't do everything in one day. I might pick up poop and mow the backyard on Sunday. Edge around the trees and fence on Monday. Cut and edge the front on Tuesday.
