Yes exactly..if I change my mind and decide not to mow, then I just switch it off, and plug in later, and as you say it just takes a few minutes to charge then

I've just bought a new Lawnmower..same electric L-ion battery as my current broken one , I haven't even got it out of the box yet..

What is insanely expensive with these lawn mowers are the batteries .

Well let me go mow the stupid lawn , knock it out as now its charged all way .

MY mower is also electric..... full charge takes about 4 hours.. . I never charge overnight , because I'm scared it might explode..I've heard of I-ion batteries exploding if left on charge too long... ...so I always put the batttery on charge on the morning I'm going to use it..

Holly, with experience of 30 years at least, with recharegeable L-Ion tools and machines, I've never had that happen. I do mostly disconnect the charger and battery within, say, a few minutes to an hour after a full charge—but I've been distracted or otherwise occupied many times, with many different chargers and L-Ion batteries, and never had a problem. Even with an unintended overnight delay. Certainly no explosions.

So I want to be re-assuring, but If anyone's experience varies from mine, please reply on this issue.🙂

that's very reassuring.. JBR... but I think I will continue disconnecting the battery and charger as I've always done, but thank you...(y)

When you mow the lawn , etc its fun to write song lyrics in your head .

Do I need a life ?

You know it .

A friend who is a retired pharmacist and chemist for a company recently bought a food truck so copied Billy Joels Alexa and yes I'm not playing with a full deck and do about 3 of these every week about people , etc .





Well I'm on my new rebuilt food truck
And I'm cruising through Westchester in Miami ,
I have charted a course to South beach .
But tonight I am Broward county bound.

We took on diesel back in Sweet Water yesterday
Left this morning from the garage in Cutlers Bay,
Like all the retirees here I had to supplement my income
Too proud to leave I worked my fingers to the bone.

So I could own my rebuilt food truck
And I go where the tourists are found
There are hungry masses out there by the beach
And a good food truck owner can't fall asleep.

I got bills to pay and dogs with vet bills
I know there's hungry tourists out there but God only knows,
They say these tourists don't spend what they used to spend
But I have a wife and 2 dogs back home who count on me.

So if you see my rebuilt food truck
And if you work with the microwave and the grill
Tell my wife I am cruising South beach
And I still have my hands on the wheel.


Now I drive my rebuilt food truck
More and more miles from home every day
Since they told me I can't sell without a permit
And there's no luck in avoiding fines here

I was a Pharmacist like my father was before
Can't make a living since retired anymore,
There ain't much future for a man who sits at home
But there ain't no stopping a man like me

Last time was one pack eleven months ago.
I smoked one and immediately my shaking stopped. Now I've burdened myself with quitting again.
I used to smoke. Years ago. Could never quit smoking inside my head.

Well if you quit once you can quit again .

Lots smokers in Miami and vapers which heard is worse and most I know other then the vapers have quit but vapers seem to be younger people .

Just anxious ALL the time. Except when I'm with son and / or grandson. Being alone so long has severely damaged me

I am not trying to sound ignorant but you need to get a hold of yourself. Anxiety is like your personal little man on the shoulder. Tell him who is boss!

They are a family and they are on vacation together. If this is so bad why do you not set up a multi generation house? And still - they need their time.
