Quick Mow in Trenton
Mowed in Trenton.
Dark Side Mow
Used the Troy Bilt TB130 gasoline mower.
I did not like breathing the exhaust fumes. This was the mower that moved me to buy the cordless electric mower.
Trenton mow
Mowed this evening.
Notice the deer just to the left of the utility pole.
Quick Mow in Trenton
Thought rain was close so I mowed quickly. The rain held off so I got in some trimming and edging.
My neighbor borrowed the mower to cut his front lawn.
First mow in Palmyra
Mowed for the first time this year. Spring has been dry this year.
Finished on the first battery, but barely.
Still forsythia to trim.
Left a circle uncut to allow the grape hyacinth to finish.
Rainy Weather
If it isn’t raining, it is cloudy. I mowed today, but it was almost too dark to see what I was doing.
Still learning the new Ego trimmer. I lost control a couple of times.
Used the original mower battery. It still works.
Total mowing electricity costs for the season so far this season is $0.12. That is recharge and maintence of charge.
I need to sharpen the blade (the one I took off last year,so I can swap it with the current blade.
Trenton Lawn Care
- Black&Decker CM1936. The weather has been dry and the battery did not go below 100%.
Used the Ego trimmer and blower.
First Mow of the season
First mow of the season. The batteries were maintained on trickle charge since last December.
Total cost of electricity for last year was a whopping $2.30.
The grass is just starting to grow, and we have not had a lot of rain this month. I think it is going to be a strange season.
I did not edge yet, but those batteries have been charged too.
Snow fun
- Used the corded electric Power Curve 1800 snow thrower from Toro. Although it is rated for 12 inches of snow, it cut through 22 inches (although the snow that passed over the top of the machine required a second pass to be completely clear.
I have 300 feet of cold weather extension cord. I deploy what I need for the job.
Care must be taken to avoid the cord.
