Homelite Electric Mover?

Well, it is that time of year again and my crappy lawn mower for the car washes is broken again.  I believe that the mower got wet or something and rusted the engine?  But, I am sick of gas mowers not working the next year so I purchased this Homelite electric mover.  It is a lot smaller then my nice gas mower and fits in my small trunk of my car really well.

The mower is quieter and really seems to be powerful.  At least as powerful as my crappy gas mower.  It is a 20 inch 12 amp system.  But the cord is going to take some time to get use to; it really was not as bad as I expected though.
My only problem is I am afraid I am becoming an environmentalist wacko.  I also was discussing making a compost heap for the house so I did not have to bag all my grass.  Then I started to research TerraPass and saw my friend Ed Begley, Jr.  Well, maybe not TerrPass, but it did made me happier when I realized my car emits 26,079 lbs of CO2 per year and I use 1,333 gallons of gas.

Weep Mizer, bad problem

My Weep Mizer was having problems, like not working.  I was talking to Randy and he said I should send it in to Dixmor.  I have called them before and they seem very professional and nice.  They actually faxed me something that I asked for!  How many companies do that?  The good news is I have a WEEPER 2.81! (Last picture, actually I have no clue what version is cool.)

Well, the bad news is, the weeper looks a little messed up.  Actually, this is what Greg predicted I did to my weeper.

Coin acceptor problem

Broken coin acceptor?  I swapped the coin acceptor out and it still did not work.  Not really sure what the problem could be, it is getting power.  I will try another coin acceptor tomorrow.
