Well, we made it home, after two multi-delayed flights, we made it home at 10:45pm last night. I just mowed the jungle in the backyard. I've been wanting to get an edging device, that will give you that well-groomed mini-trench along the edges of the yard. The best thing I saw was the Black and Decker Edge Hog. I've been very pleased with my Leaf Hog, but the Edge Hog didn't seem near as versatile as it should be. Brandon Welch and I had a really simple but cool edger the summer we mowed lawns. It swiveled to provide both vertical and horizontal edging as was about half the size of the Edge Hog. The Edge Hog does have the ability to edge AND trench, although I'm not sure what I would do with a 1/4" wide trench.

My solution was to get some new trimmer string to use on my existing weed-eater. It has a square cross-section and worked 50 times better than the string that came with the eater. If anyone has any comments on edgers, feel free to leave them and we'll all benefit from your no-doubt marvelous knowledge.

Well, I didn't intend to get into lawn care quite that much. We're glad to be home.

Oooh, while I was out, I discovered the new Lowe's is open, and they're building a Chili's and Johnny Carino's right down the street! Two of my favorite restaurants! whoo hoo.
