I have a 1913 Enfield Mk3 SMLE. It must have seen action in one or both world wars. It’s is a solid rifle… one of my favorites. Smooth and extremely accurate. It even has a volley sight to send plunging fire out over trenches up to 2800 yards.

I think it’s my favorite rifle.



I have that #4 mk 1 I bought last fall.


Still ain't shot it yet.
 
More expensive upfront but cheaper and easier to own in the long run than gas operated ones. No maintenance costs, no gas, no oil, no lubrication needed. If corded, plug it in and tons of power. If battery operated, easier to handle particularly in large yards. Both corded and battery electric mowers are better options than gas for me. Not going back.
I have never had an electrical tool (well Mrs wonderer does have a hitachi and also a black and decker hedge trimmer) 😂

I am not opposed to owning one but def have concerns about battery life and power.

I’d actually like to learn more, as I see stihl is very actively marketing them.

I’m not sold yet tho.
 
People crack me up

"I didn't get that email"

"yes you did i got a notification you deleted without opening"

If you are gonna be shady at least be smart

I have read receipts on every damn documenti send
It’s best when you show them a screen shot of their ineptitude.

“This email? The one I sent on Monday that you deleted and never opened???”
 
Just wondering where the technology is at now.
And electric would be quiet. This mower is NOT quiet!
Doing a cost assessment with oil at $60 a barrel. It's going to be cheaper to run gas, then electric. New Jersey just approved a 20% electric increase. How's that going to help us operating electric mowers? Add twenty percent operating cost to your mower and see.
 
Phew. 😩 Thought the workday would never end... but it always does :LOL:

Thank you, @Greylag and your grandson. What a spectacular way to relax at the end of my workday. Tell grandson he has a cracking good spot!!

Same - doesn't help that most days I can't do tip-toes because of Achilles' tendonitis. :rolleyes: I make due w/ a grabbing tool and a stepstool.

He's paid by the hour, in cash, at the end of each day's work. Want something less informal? Around here that means a shift from "handyman" to contracting companies with contracts and much higher prices.

Thanks, Lili 🫂 Once we get those Star Trek transporters I'll be all set. It's just the timing and logistics. I don't expect to be anyone's first call, but if you want me to get time off work and travel across multiple states to be there, please don't wait a week before reaching out. 😔 Still - lots of really great memories these past few days.

I hope you enjoy it. I know you'll follow the weaponry and strategy more than I did. Be sure to flip through the end notes, too. I'm a :geek: and read all the way to the very end... and then oft times the Acknowledgments, too. :LOL: No spoilers but worth it IMO.

Sorry for your loss, Grey. 🫂 It's a good friend that will help with the clear out.

I'm often sound sensitive since the migraines started almost 15 years ago. So lump w/ in with the Oldsters Crowd 😉🙉

Now purple on the other hand...

More and more areas/countries are limiting the number of cruise ships to an area. Also instituting Tourist Taxes. All trying to minimize the impact of so many people and massive ships to an area. Travel will be more challenging and much more expensive going forward. (Because it was so cheap and easy to begin, eh?)

I need more than just those few reaction emojis here.
🧐 Quite right - use it or lose it
:unsure: Math... why is 20 not like 57
:ROFLMAO: 🤣🤣 I can so see and hear you having this conversation, @Wonderer67

🍀 Hope the scan went well and you get a good result. Keep us posted, BSK 🫂

But you're a natural. You could sign up as a contract Snow Sherpa. Oooh, new side hustle just dropped. :ROFLMAO:

For some threads... but this one can move pretty fast at times.

That feels a bit like wrapping a pair of socks in a Lego Kit box on Christmas then watching your 8 year old open it.

I'd buy a ticket 🎟️

Yes, please... that would be lovely. 😊
You beat me to the punch!
