The Daily Rant Thread

I'm pretty sure I'd have to build an RC sand ladder dispenser to do that.

What about four linear actuators with a tilting mechanism? Rotate them from horizontal to vertical then lower them until the mower wheels are off the ground, then tilt them back to move the entire mower backwards out of the holes. They'd have to be spaced out no further than the drive wheels though or I wouldn't be able to get into my backyard or close enough to mow areas around my house, fence, ramp, sheds, and other such things.

I think before I did all that I would look into 1 of the nice rc lawn mowers.

so what your say

I think they do. I had to call for help one day when my last mower's transmission melted when I was mowing the front yard. Yup, my last riding mower actually had a plastic transmission. That thing melted down the very first time we tried to use it, it took all summer to get replacement parts but it was fixed under warranty.

I also had to call them twice when I got stuck in the tub. The first time was the day I found out my muscular dystrophy had gotten bad enough that I couldn't get out of the tub. The second time was when one of the gears of the tub lift I bought after getting stuck the first time had stripped out. That was the second tub lift in two years to fail, the first one had a manufacturing defect which allowed water to get into the motor. So I changed brands of tub lifts and haven't been stuck since.

So, except for three medical emergencies I've had to call for help four times since 2005 when I bought my house.

so what you're saying is, they don't have to worry about job security

coming to work i went through a, i don't even know. CHP has the street blocked down to 1 lane and there are signs up "all trucks must stop" and they were stopping big rigs and even pickups pulling trailers (one looked like a gardener the other looked like it was headed to the dump down the street). no idea what the hells going on. googled it and can't find any info. but CHP is doing something on Knott ave. in Garden Grove and it's messing up traffic.

At first glance that looks like a good solution. I'd go for the FWD model if I bought one, so it could pull itself out of dog holes.

I dig this thing, hub motors for the win, and wheel weights. Also three different blade speeds and it comes complete with everything needed for mowing, mulching, and vacuuming.

I'd have to research what's available but I see two flaws with this one.

1) Price. This thing is crazy expensive for what it is. It has great features but the cheapest FWD model is $4,000.
2) Mower deck. The mower deck is narrower than the track width of the mower.

My riding mower would make a poor candidate for turning it into an RC mower since without the weight of an operator and lack of suspension it would likely get stuck pretty easily.

I'm like halfway done and my thumb already has a blister from wrapping damn things with tape. and it's right in the inner part of the joint, prime spot for discomfort. so yes, I'm going to throw a tantrum.

Hitchhiking is good thumb exercise.
