I had issues holding on to the weed eater for periods of time because of it's weight. Hubby bought me a Black in Decker with 2 batteries. I love it, it's light and easy to use.....perfect for me :-)Sandy Livesayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06183449816586125720noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1423140573667417407.post-65152671030633475692016-06-28T08:04:40.648-05:002016-06-28T08:04:40.648-05:00Lisa - Take good care of that geriatric weed eater...Lisa - Take good care of that geriatric weed eater of yours!

The battery is supposed to last somewhere around 45 minutes, and we have two so theoretically I should be able to get my trimming done with the two batteries.

It's a quick start, about 14 years old, that I have to buy new parts for every year and will cry when it finally goes out. Sooooo wish your rain would find its way here.

I sure wish we could get some of your rain. We've had the high temps, but it is dry, dry, dry! Of course, you can keep the hail... I wonder if it's these long days that are keeping us awake way past our bedtime? I can't sleep if it's light out.

I wish I could get to sleep early, too. I would love to get up by 6 am, to get work outside before it gets so hot. But it doesn't seem like I can get in bed before 11 pm. You are the second person I've heard say weed whipping. I've never heard it called that before. We call it weed eating. HaHa! Happy gardening and weed whipping!Lauriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01569684144657934330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1423140573667417407.post-58187077405074499702016-06-26T19:36:16.755-05:002016-06-26T19:36:16.755-05:00I have had success with a "whipper snipper&qu...I have had success with a "whipper snipper" that I won. It runs on battery power. It came with two battery packs and a charger. It is lightweight enough for me and the "string" never snaps off or needs reloading. The only drawback is the battery power only lasts a short time and it takes many hours to recharge. But I think of it as forcing myself to rest between sessions. (I could never manage the big gas powered trimmer - too heavy and cumbersome, and the electric one constantly had problems with the string coming loose and the cord pulling out). Hope your trimmer is perfect for you!! -Jenncoffeeontheporchwithmehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17618627688821849806noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1423140573667417407.post-64617275885960549902016-06-26T18:33:57.820-05:002016-06-26T18:33:57.820-05:00Sue - I'm toast by 8 p.m. and I don't even...Sue - I'm toast by 8 p.m. and I don't even get up at 4 a.m.<br /><br />Good to hear you got your much needed rain. All of our rain, and hot weather, has finally made my little plants look like they're actually going to grow.<br /><br />We had high winds again today. (This is getting old.) It blew one of my cold frames off a bed of peppers, snapped one right off at ground level and landed on another one that (remarkably) looks like it may survive. Always some fun going on . . .

This time of year is hard on me for getting to sleep--it's light until almost 10:30 and our bedroom faces west. I put foil on those ones--it looks like a meth house here, but at least it's helping. I love my 4 am so much--no darn sun is going to keep me from it.<br />(But don't talk to me after 8 pm)--I'm toast by then..........<br />Glad you're getting plentiful rain. we got our first rain in over 2 weeks.
