Mrs. Hank mentioned the possibility that she might get me a robot mower for my birthday. If she doesn't, I'm gonna be mad, and then I'm gonna buy it for myself.
When I went and got the 60" they had a 104" Hustler at the dealership. It could mow a football field in like 20 minutes or something stupid like that. Guy told me Hustler, Walker and a few of the other big brands are working on GPS based software for municipalities, golf courses and rich dudes who are trying to compensate.

When I help my neighbors plant corn a robot drives the tractor, I'm just there to make sure shit doesn't go tits up, and to move the thing from one field to another.

Hey guys. I hate doing this but I need to ask for help. I've been caring for my mom and my girlfriend who both had cancer for the past couple of years. My girlfriend probably isn't going to make it as it's spread quite a bit. I moved across the country to LA so my gf could be close to her family. And well after three years funds are running dry. I've been looking for work but conditions made it difficult to leave home at times. So if any of you know of any remote work that I could do it would be of great help. Thank you very much in advance.
I have no idea what is available, but I’ll keep my eyes open and reach out if I see anything.

Good luck with your search.

It’s only a matter of time before large scale mowing is robotic.

also, 5-6 years ago when I bought the 60” Hustler, even going to 72” was outrageously expensive. Can’t imagine how much a 104” costs

I took a picture of the beast and sent it to my pops and told him I decided on this one. Hell we could probably make hay with it in a pinch.
I can't remember what size diesel it had but it was pretty big. Hydraulic batwings fold up to get it on a trailer, I can't remember exactly how much but I'm pretty sure I could have bought a decent used tractor, bush hog, and a 3pt finishing mower and it would have been cheaper.

My dealer in Pittsboro had one. He offered it to me for 28k. It's a lot of mower.

Duke Energy really doesn't like me having power (if they have an excuse) Looks like they expect 8 hours to restore it..

The storms in the Triangle were brief but wicked yesterday. Then, wind and blinding rain for most of the way home on I40W. Worth it though to spend a few hours with my boy who was in town briefly for a wedding.

The dog days have really set in. Fun week ahead:

To be honest, we need the rain, so I'm not complaining.

I'm glad it's happening this week though. Last week had a lot of dog visits that would have been either cancelled or been not a fun experience to walk in the rain. This week is mostly cats, so other than dealing with terrible drivers in the rain, no biggie there.

Those daytime temps are only a couple of degrees higher than our expected up here. Our overnights tho...at least ten degrees lower. Humidity makes all the difference.

My sister is going to die, it's inevitable now. Doctor told us we should get a DNR order ready. She's only 39. Her kids are age 14 and 11.

This is a f***ing nightmare. Please take all the necessary steps to protect yourself from this virus. If that means you have to become a shut-in, then become a shut-in.

That is a f***ing nightmare; sorry it's hitting so close to home. Glad you shared, maybe it will help some to wake up regarding vaccinations.
