New Additions

The last week has seen some exciting new additions to our house. The first is 40 inches of flat screen goodness and looks like this from the side. Not sure if this was necessary or not but watching the World Cup final in HD, with our stereo hooked up to this little guy was pretty awesome.

By the way. For $3/month HDTV service is totally worth it. Especially if you are a sports fan.

New addition number 2! The Lawn-Boy. Bought this afternoon and put to use within 30 minutes. This was the second purchase that wouldn't fit in the hybrid so we had to borrow our friend's truck (thanks Retired! - I accidentally set all of your radio presets to NPR...not sure how that happened).


We got the one in the foreground - with the size of our lawn, the self propelled walk behind is perfect. Based on today's first usage, it looks like it is a 40 minute job or so. Getting the lawn mower up and running took about 10 minutes. Figuring out to assemble the gas can so that the pour spout was hooked up right...20 minutes.

New additions number 3 and 4! Hedge trimmer and the "Grass Hog" trimmer. Home Depot was a big fan of us today. We haven't put the 'hog' to use yet but the trimmer did a kick ass job on the bushes in the front of the house.

The shed is slowly filling up.

SE: Trust me, these 'changes' are all basic compared to my siblings. I'm just mowing the lawn.
Z: Good to know. File under "things Z tells me too late." Remember that story about crawfish contamination you told me about one day after eating them? :-)
