Mad at myself for missing the Husqvarna sale at Costco a couple of months back. Borrowed my neighbors, and it’s a beast. Gas powered, 3100 psi, $380 at Costco. Heard the Ego brand of lawnmowers are good, I’ve outsourced it, so can’t personally vouch for any.

I am also heading there after work 🏃‍♂️🏃‍♂️

Can't speak to power washers, but I've got an Ego lawnmower that easily cuts our postage stamp townhouse yard. I'm in the same area as MD1 and had also been paying $35/week to have the lawn cut before I bought the mower and decided to do it myself. Cutting and trimming takes about 15 minutes start to finish.

Yeah, we got quotes of $30-45 for it, so I paid for it for a season despite knowing it was a rip-off then bought the lawnmower

Really depends on how much you have to mow. I have 5 acres and use a real tractor with 60 inch deck. Cruise control and an adult beverage holder make it almost enjoyable.

How large is your lawn? I went with a battery powered Milwaukee for my small St Augustine lawn (total lot size 6098sq ft, actual grass maybe 3000 sq ft). Managed to get 30% back with Capital One Shopping Rewards (redeemable for gift cards)

Glad you enjoy the product

For pressure washers, anything above 3000 psi is what you want. Stick with gas powered. The electric ones just don’t have enough power.
I normally hire for lawn maintenance but those zero turns are pretty damn great!

Go with a Honda lawnmower (in my mind). Whatever you do stay away from anything Craftsman.

Weigh your bill rate and the money value of your time. I find it immensely more prudent to get my lawn professionally cut at $35 a week. All summer it totals out to maybe $500 max. Yes, a lawn mower is cheaper than that. But I’d spend at least an hour mowing the lawn. So it works out better for me.

Second the regret on missing the Husqvarna Costco sale.

Dang, I am moving!

Is it okay to disappear from friends & family to work on career change goals (several months)? I want to focus and not get distracted by friends & family needs to see me or attend certain things as it takes up a lot of time. If I focus for a short time, I can quickly achieve my goals to switch. I can hangout with them after all of that. What do you think?? Any feedback will be appreciated.

I deeply miss my ex. The breakup was initiated by me 5 years ago because I was scared to commit. Since then, I’ve gotten married and have a daughter.

Been having trouble moving on since girlfriend ended relationship 3 weeks ago after 2+ years of dating. Before ending it she came over 3 weeks prior to basically give me a chance to work things out and we had a good discussion but then I went back into our routine and didn’t really fight for it or have serious follow up convos that we needed. Now I just have so many regrets that I let her go. I know we still love each other and left on “good” terms but can’t forgive myself for my lack of action.
