      We had an acre on a lake with a very steep backyard. My dad always bought Snapper ride-ons but we had a Lawnboy for the back and trim work. I learned to use the rider on the back instead of pushing that stupid small Lawnboy. Then sometimes if the rider went down, I would have to use the Lawnboy on the whole yard. That was rough!

      I purposely tried to kill that thing many times but couldnt! They were tough....lol!

        The new one were never the same once legislation forced them to sell the 4-stroke models Honda mowers were better.

          Here's a video about two nice electric vehicles!!!!

          If you're not outraged, you're not paying attention!

                  New battery technology. The real reason gas prices are going up. Their days are numbered. Get it why you can.

                  Haters don't really hate you, in fact they hate themselves because you are a reflection of what they wish to be.

                    If Trump went through with what he was planning on the sixth.....

                    We would be paying $1.99/gallon for gas!

                      Stock market would at 40,000, border would be secure , AMERICAN babies would have formula , the Taliban wouldn’t have 4 billion dollars of our military equipment, 11 marines wouldn’t have died senselessly at Kabul airport , they wouldn’t be putting tampon dispensers in BOYS bathrooms , thousands of Americans would not be dead from the fentanyl coming across the southern border,China and Fauci would be held accountable for COVID , The Biden crime family would be in jail, Elon Musk would own twitter,North Korea would not be launching missiles , Iraq would not be well on it’s way to having nuclear weapons! Anything I missed ( and I know there is a lot ) please fill in the blanks !!!!!

                        The Great Electric Car 'Zero Emissions' Boondoggle - https://seekingalpha.com/article/431...ons-boondoggle



                        Where the energy comes from is important

                        The energy source that should be used for calculating electric car emissions depends on where you live (or more accurately, where you charge your car). There is some controversy over whether we should use the average energy mix or the incremental energy source when calculating emissions.

                        The average energy mix assumes that cars are charged in some utopian realm where the wind blows constantly and the sun shines at night. The incremental energy is a more realistic choice, and since most electric cars are charged at night, the night-time incremental energy source will give us the closest approximation to real-world electric car emissions.

                        For example, suppose we have a power grid that has a demand of 40 Gw at night and is supplied by 20 Gw of fossil fuel and 20 Gw of wind. If we add demand from a million electric cars to that grid, we will increase demand by about 10 Gw. The wind won’t blow harder to fill that demand - the extra energy will have to come from fossil fuel.

                        In any electrical power grid that uses a mix of fossil fuel and “clean” energy sources, if the “clean” source is being utilized to its maximum capacity, then it follows that any load added to the system has to be supplied by burning fossil fuel.

                        So, electric cars can only claim to be “clean” if the electricity they use comes from a grid that has a surplus of “clean” energy at the time the car is being charged. Most electric cars are charged at night, and we want that to be the case because that is when demand is at its lowest and the grid has spare capacity. So, for an electric car to be “clean,” the power grid needs to have a surplus of “clean” power at night.

                          Biden’s EV Boondoggle is China’s Big Win - https://insidesources.com/bidens-ev-...hinas-big-win/



                          The big winner in this latest Biden initiative is clearly China. The U.S. becomes further dependent on China for a supply chain of critical minerals, technology, and commerce.

                            Why the U.S. Postal Service Shouldn’t Have to Deliver an Electric Vehicle Boondoggle - https://www.realclearenergy.org/arti...le_832583.html




                            Sadly, the obligations to jump on the EV bandwagon leaves the U.S. Postal Service (USPS) in a massive financial and operational predicament. The USPS, a traditionally venerable federal agency for its core mail delivery nationwide, has regrettably suffered in recent decades as result of an archaic business model and leaders treating the agency as a proving ground for experimental services, and expansions of mission favored by interest groups – like competitive package transport. As the USPS has forced its way into services, the institution has recently amassed $188 billion in unfunded liabilities. With EVs, the USPS would lose the financial benefits of their current fleet design, and worse, EVs would introduce substantial new risks and liabilities to the USPS.

                            In terms of USPS purchasing power, it is noteworthy that electric vehicles, on average, cost $13,000 more than typical combustion vehicles, prompting important questions about how many years or decades it may take USPS to see a return on investment.

                                It’s the folks that voted for hims fault……..everyone could see he wasn’t the right person, just the safest in the land of misfit toys known as the dem party.

                                Blame the voters that chose him if you’re going to blame anyone, they deserve all of it……..idiots.
