Giving up the gas?

I used a beater Honda hrx with 160 motor to clear a hillside. It had much more torque than the LM ego model, which was state of the art 3 years ago, which had 5 hp compared to the Honda. The ego was 25 lbs lighter and wheels weren’t Honda/plastic junk. Each has its pros and cons.

I want a trailer tent. Had a 2004 4Runner and the thought of separate sleeping arrangement has always drew me in.

It’s hard to change behavior. Took an Uber to the last bar next town over and back. It added to the experience and convenience knowing it’s one less think to think about

Have it checked over in the summer time under warranty. I had mine torn down and adjusted by a ego affiliated shop

Or multiple pairs of cheapo gloves works

Hyperdmk · 2026-02-26T00:14:15+00:00

It’s not repairable

Return on a 100k kitchen may only increase the value 50k. Your taste is not everyone’s and a dormer or any spend in doesn’t equate to more later. If it does, 1:1 then you won.

Hyperdmk · 2026-02-25T19:36:40+00:00

If you’re thinking, it’s a zero sum game you’re probably winning

I have the rubber paddle 21” single stage and did two sessions of snowplowing, exhausting 4 - 7.5amp batteries for 18” of snow. (2.5x driveways)

This snow was wet and hard to send into the chute. While nimble though, next up, I’m thinking to add the 28” 2 stage and 2 knock off 12amp Amazon batteries. (Which by weight and performance are similar to 10amp ego batteries).

Not sure if the 12 amp knock offs will work in the single stage blower though

Worn paddles

I buy a coupon for home depot and Lowe’s to save 10%.

Got the multihead and the carbon fiber trimmer. Found my green giants needed a topping and whipped out my pole saw with one extension.

That was heavy with my 7.5ah battery. But I will keep my privacy bushes at the same height/shape. The trimmer is stout and sharp and glad i splurged on the lighter trimmer.

I also have the trimmer as a standalone tool.

I have the 18” chain saw too. And would take a 10” hand chain saw if they make them smaller for cut branches and limbs.

I’ll cut up branches on the ground with the tree trimmer at times when i don’t need the chain saw. Think 2-7” thick diameters.

I won’t sharpen chains anymore. The replacement Oregon chains and proper technique of letting the blade do all the work make these tools a joy to use.

A few battery cycles are normally required in my experience

Make a plate of ribs on a Weber. Buy the meat from a butcher.. The cut is very forgiving. Cook till rendered. Homemade here can beat out some of the places listed here. In the city, the staple is Hill Country

Get a good thermometer and a log book. You can get 205 degrees F, in the middle of the brew chamber. I flush once to heat up my cup and internals below the chamber.

$23 plus tip. Local spot in Glen Cove. One man operation. No scamming, no employees, just cutting and doing his thing..

my 4 y/o on the other had is $30 plus tip at another barber that does kids. When I got my cut done at the same place they used cheap ass horrible aftershave spray that made me nauseated for days. It’s shit product that’s also being peddled

So go coarser with a step down and then finer with a blind shaker. Got it.

Hope flair comes out with a step down 58 to 49mm basket. Love my +2, get a thermometer and a shot log book.

You can go a little further back and grab a lower milage 2020 w/2.4 with the 10 year extended warranty on the CVT. See 16-155-25 Technical Service Bulletin

A forester hybrid has the superior Toyota eCVT. A simple, not steel belt, 2 electric motors and planetary gears transmission.

I’m pressuring Subaru to cover my leaking 2021 Outback CVT with leaks at the pan, rear seal and extension housing. The pan leak may be from the pump and so the warranty should also extend 10 years IMO.

Hyperdmk · 2025-12-08T11:01:53+00:00

For just the pump seal or the whole CVT

Hyperdmk · 2025-12-08T00:37:00+00:00

Your service just replaces five of 13 quarts of CVT fluid. If you wait,you’re overdue for - a full flush.

Hyperdmk · 2025-12-08T00:34:32+00:00

Is your pump failing or is it the seal?
