We are going to have to defrost the deep freeze, getting such a build up that it's getting really hard to get the baskets out to get to bottom section. Dread doing that.

I can't believe, in 16 years of living here, this is the first time my mower has started without quite a bit of cussing and professional intervention. Started on the fourth try.
Since I have a small yard, I have a rechargeable electric mower. I just keep it plugged in until I need to use it, then roll it out and squeeze a handle. In fact, over the last five years I have replaced all of my gasoline powered yard equipment with rechargeable electric equipment. Other than the mower, all the equipment is Ryobi (Home Depot's house brand), so all the batteries are interchangeable. The mower is a Toro, so I will probably die before it does.

I should be clear: it generally starts during the season, I meant that it's always difficult to start after winter storage.Since I have a small yard, I have a rechargeable electric mower.

I've had gas and electric weed-eaters, but never rechargeable ones. Every time I consider one, I have them unlock it from the display and walk up and down the aisle a few times and the ones with the longer-lasting batteries are too heavy.
Right now, I'm using an electric weed-eater. I like it ok, though the biggest problem is replacing the line. I usually get frustrated after an hour of trying and just go buy a new pre-loaded spool. Lots of cussing there as well.

Check out the Ryobi 1-Plus cordless rechargeable yard stuff. The 1-plus stands for one hour, plus. They are not heavy at all. https://www.homedepot.com/b/Outdoors-Outdoor-Power-Equipment/RYOBI/N-5yc1vZbx5cZm5d?storeSelection=

It was air New Zealand house in the late 70s. Top,floor was morrie Davis chair of anz. They knew how to party, I often got leftover food, good quality food. I think morrie liked me as we chatted quite a bit. Told to help myself. Lol.
One of about 15 businesses we did.

BTW, I don't think there is such a thing as a weed-eater that is easy to reload with string. I know I haven't found one.

I have found that there are two kinds of of rich guys through my work with a lot of rich guys. Some are jerks you want to punch in the face, and others are as nice as nice gets. I have one customer who picks me up at the airport, buys my meals, lets me stay at one of his homes (mansions), and lets me drive his half million dollar 1950s Porsches.

Update: All the chores done! I picked the color for the deck, and it looks great.
Funny story. My parent's land-line phone quit working, so my sister bought them a new one. She was showing my mom how to use the speed dial, with all the numbers she needs already programmed in. While she's doing that, I hear someone pounding on the front door. I go to see who it is, and it is a cop. I open the door, and the officer tells me that the reason he is here is because someone called 911. I immediately knew what happened. My sister and mom accidentally pressed the speed dial for 911. I explained to the officer what I figured happened -- he was very cool, and figured it was something like that. I had to get my dad to show ID and tell the officer everything is okay, since my ID says I live 250 miles away.
I had to tease my sister and mom a bit about that. "Which one of you called 911?"

Yeah I get with most people, not many I wouldn't deal with. There was a few I refused to deal with. Just a few.
