Well yea, its Clearfield...

I want to get two 10A batteries (or atleast two 7.5A) but man do I pucker looking at those prices...

Hey, that's what I have as well. I have the same issues with thick, wet grass which is one reason why I like to stay on top of it. 

Yea, I struggled at times with that due to physical exhaustion from work so I let it get a bit long Also mines got the two blades in it and I need to swap them as I dont think it comes with the proper mulching blades or if it does they're not very good. On the non-self propelled ego I had previously the bagging blade cut far, far better than the mulching blade and it still mulched! Really cut down battery life tho

Thanks fellas.  I had definitely planned on storing the batteries in the garage so that's good to know ha.  Ego is the brand sold by Lowes right?  How are they with handling thick spots or slightly wetter grass or stuff like that?  Enough power for all that while on self-propel?  Anyone else have any personal experience with using them?

I've got an ego self propelled. It's got a good amount of power and can handle pretty thick grass but thick+wet = nope. You'll def have to raise the deck. I've liked it and Ive done the stupid and left the batteries in the garage (have their snowblower and trimmer and leaf blower)

Don’t worry - they’ll be back Saturday/Sunday most likely. 

The lid to my recycling bin is gone. Not sure if I should blame it on the wind or you came and stole it cause the wind took yours...

So when is our (not)snow supposed to start? Late night/early morning mainly?

Ya sure. We had those the last two days (well not 50 but constant 38 mph winds) 

yea it sure was howling (growling?) last night

I simply don’t buy the GFS for Friday. Temps are incredibly marginal. I might see snowflakes but expect no accumz. 

Do we get your buy in if we throw in some smokin hot 50mph winds?

Concur...I was thinking how to say it, but I like your way.  I am guessing he does not really mean it and was looking for some laughs. 

I agree i doubt he ment any malice or anything but...just not a fan about joking about domestic abuse (even though Im sure I've done it in the past as well)

@AtomixwxDude, that one is too far

It is my opinion.  I also do not like kids being in the dark nor it being dark close to 9AM. 

Fixed that for you

We just had a wind gust of 44 but it was blowing some sleet pellets down with it so confused whether this was a Canderson gust or not.   Candersons winds are not wintery from what I hear. LOL 

Unless there were shingles or garbage cans embedded in the gust it cannot count as a Canderson gale (or gust)

66f in Hbg according to my watch. Beautiful lunch on my new fav bench

The battery is what I am worried about.  I see it is $400!  That is a big cost every 3-5 years.   I had not realized it was so much.  

yea $200-600 depending on the capacity. I also have their single stage snow blower (POS) and weed wacker. I might have also prematurely aged the batteries since I keep them out in the garage during the winter and...you're not supposed to expose them to freezing temps. Whoopsie

Walk behind mower recommendations?  I was considering an Ego but starting to waver on that. I like how light now self-propelled machines are but probably get to get self propelled. 

I've been pretty pleased with our ego self propelled. Does a good job cutting but I do go through about 3 (one 7.5Ah and two 5Ah) batteries to do our lawn but it is a decent sized yard

Figured it'd be a great day to have lunch out on the bench at my office since its 60f. Bro, that wind is a bit chilly

It is absolutely gorgeous out right now
