    Thought I vented about it here already… maybe not.

    Yes. The state rep for my city proposed a law to outlaw gas leaf blowers. Full up with fines and jail time. Cuz that’s definitely more criminal than stealing cars, selling drugs and stealing.

    I am not being political…. Those just the facts around here.

    The best part is this Rep…wait for it… owns the local Ford and Hyundai dealerships. The Ford one being one of the largest sellers in the state. During her time on the city council the city vehicles all switched from Chevy to Ford too. I am sure for legit reasons.

    You may have vented prior to this, but I skip pages when I fall behind.

    Sounds about right for the kind of stupid that keeps going on over on the coasts. I'm sorry you have to put up with that crap.

    Noise driven here, too. And grandfather in. They'd be allowing bans by town, not statewide (as I understand MA, anyways).

    @Leo's first - 4 cycle trimmer. Straight gas, separate oil tank like a 4 cycle mower, only hand held. Brilliant thing.

    I say let it play out. They want to hug trees, eat dirt, and ban necessities? Let the bastards freeze to death in the dark.

    Nope...and it isn't just 3rd gen'rs...they just get the most flack right now as the most active area of the forum. You still get dork oil questions with the 5.7 all the time...

    I'd love a new Tundra...if they only fixed the fugly and made a HD I'd test the limits of my marriage.

    It's probably also due for an oil change and a new spark plug but I literally didn't even have time to work on getting my yard ready for winter until the day before the first snowfall.

    Nope. It's a Yard Works or some no-name brand like that but, as far as I know it has a Briggs and Stratton engine in it. I got it free from a friend when we bought our house because he'd bought himself a new self propelled mower.
