It's autumn, and time for the annual Redstone Leaf Blower complaint:

Mrs R is out there with the noisy, smelly fucker (let me smoke ONE Parliament in the house, and she goes ballistic, but we can let that 30:1 gas/oil mixture drift through the windows)...

Argh.

1. This picture might help you block it out

2. Get some synthetic two-stroke oil for that bad boy.

A little more expensive, but it will smoke less and do a better job at bearing lubrication.

And it would smell just like the old Yamaha two-stroke GP roadracer I used to campaign.


Kinda like this one:

3. WTF are good liberals like yourselves using that un-Green POS?

What happened to RAKING?

6. I used to live in a neighborhood where all the yards were the same size...

and it always amused me that I could rake the leaves out of my yard in about a quarter of the time it took the guy next door to clear his leaves with his gasoline-burning bastard of a blower.

4. You got the wife trained well!

:rofl:

Kudos to you, redstone!

7. No training needed...simple refusal to do it myself works fine. I'd let the damn leaves

turn themselves into compost over the winter, were it up to me.
