I just picked up an Ego mower and trimmer and the batteries and power out of these things is extremely impressive.

My blower is something approaching a hand-held localized hurricane.

That's the old fighting spirit, going at it in two posts.

You've got to be careful beyond 45 meters, there be monsters out there. Propaganda monsters and fire breathin' preachers.

CMCD was more of a happy accident.

Just be careful. That last time there was a happy accident around me, someone got pregnant.

Funny how often that happens. It doesn't involve a man with a shotgun taking the fella who caused the accident and the victim to see the Justice of The Peace as often these day's as it should either. The man with the gun usually wasn't to happy about the accident.

That's not what I was thinking of.

Think less "shotgun wedding" and more "happy ending".
