Lawn Care

[sys]

What kind of mower do you have? Rider or push

push.  one thing is i've only tipped it on it's back once before and like the engine flooded with gas or something and wouldn't start for a day or two when i did that.  so i guess i should wait till it runs dry before trying to unscrew the blade?

new mower blade is v pud, sys

[Emo EMAW]

I have a Troy-built Honda one that I got in Sept 2006.  I haven't changed the oil once or done any other sort of maintenance.  Last year I was feeling neglectful so I was going to get the blade sharpened.  I went to Home Depot and saw a new blade was $22 so I bought one and just put that one (pretty easy).  My plan is to have the old one sharpened and then just swap out.  But I won't.  I'll just buy a new one.  Or throw it away.  One or the other.  Doesn't matter. 

[sys]

maybe i'll try the rock technique first, though.  nothing to lose if i have to replace the blade anyways.

nail the old one to wall of your garage to look boss and use for self defense if need be

sys how do you feel about the self-checkout stations at retailers like Home Depot?

I've tried one similar to that out before.. what a pain in the ass..

sys how do you feel about the self-checkout stations at retailers like Home Depot?

self checkingout is an incredible improvement in our american way of life that probably isn't adequately accounted for by traditional metrics like gdp and such.  at home depot, they are slightly less good than at grocery stores because you often buy stuff that is too big or awkwardly shaped to easily scan with the fixed scanners.  also the home depot watcher/checker people usually look you in the eyes and say thank you or good bye when you leave anyways which sorta defeats the whole purpose of the self checkout stations.

Self checkout is a great idea with horrible implementation. The future is promising tho

[Emo EMAW]

Let's assume that there were two lines open right next to each other.  One self checkout, one with a clerk.  Which do you choose?  Assume most everything to be equal.

that's not even an interesting question.  you need to make the clerked line more attractive in some way to identify the equilibrium point.

You have 100 canned items

[sys]

that's never happened in the history of the world, and never could happen.  but if they were the same item or many duplicates of a small number of items i'd choose the clerked.  if they were 100 different items i'd choose self.  i estimate that the change over point would be somewhere around 20 items.

I don't need to formulate an interesting question as your response tells me what I wanted to know.

I will inquire and find out.  I will post our chat history here for group dissection.

I hate it when people refer to Wal-Mart as Wal-Mart's.

is it ok to turn your mower upside down? Or do just have to just tip it?

[yoga-like_abana]

why not just prop it up and change the blade that way? or you could drain the fluids its actually not hard at all on a mower to do
