Joe,

Report on new Troy Bilt Weed Eater. I love it. I just did over 200' along the inside of my chain link fence and it is great. That fence eats line like sandpaper on paint and I had to refill it once. The no spool removal refill is great. Only thing is, it only holds 20' of line. I used some old .080 that I have for the Electric one as the grass I was cutting wasn't huge and that line is old and brittle and needs to be used up. I have a new spool of the .095. I also did the mowing out front and now I just like mowing the upper lot and going outside in the alley behind me and using the weed eater on that 200' of fence but I am going to wait as it is already 78 degrees and I am tired and shaking quite a bit. The 4 cycle isn't hard on gas as I just refilled it once and still have some left and I used to have to refill the 2 cycle about 4 times for this same amount. But get the shoulder strap if you get one. With that you can just almost use one hand and run the thing. Time for a break.

Well I am now through with the yard work for a day or so. I just finished mowing the upper lot and it is getting quite hot. I will get out after while and change the blades on the two mowers as the ones on them need to be sharpened. But for now I am just going to rest.

Ron
