We went to town today for my monthly blood test, after I had it, we had several errands to do. The first was getting a plaque made for a club member who had passed away, that only took a few minutes to get ordered. Then it was off to Lowe's to get a new string trimmer I had been looking at online. It turned out they did not carry it in the store, so it was off to Safeway for Pepsi and Pretzels. I had a list of things I wanted to do at Fred Meyer, while I was in there, I checked out their string trimmers, but they did not have any I liked. After lunch at Arby's and a stop at Papa Murphy's for a couple of stuffed pizza's that were on special, I decided to try finding a string trimmer at Home Depot and Sears on the way home.
I found one I liked at Home Depot, a 40 volt Ryobi, I went out and assembled it first thing when we got home and put the battery on charge. When it got to 75 % charge, I couldn't stand it any longer and took it out to try it around my porch which had gotten pretty tall. It worked great, so I put it back on charge. Later, the rain let up and it was fully charged, so I took it out and did around the shop, house and lawn. I was tuckered by then, but it was still going strong with 50% charge left. My old one would just barely do around the house before it ran down.
