Good non-cop-out avi. Hop Along Pokey!

Thank you. I thought it suited me well...
I'm not thoroughbred material, today.

I can barely even spell thoroughbred this morning, let alone twice in one post. Without editing it a gazillion times.

Guten Morgan Freeman.

It's Monday, it's early, my caffeine stream is being replenished, and this weekend appears to have existed in a temporal chronology zone that made it only seem to exist.

Also, one of the websites we normally use to look up parts for our clients (who are too lazy to look it up themselves or don't have the internet -- yeah, there are still a few) has been hacked. By Turkish hackers. It's an outdoor power equipment company -- grass trimmers and brush butters and chainsaws and stuff. Who the hell hacks a tool company and redirects the landing page to a self-congratulatory page that says, in part, "Hi guys? wass`up ? Hacked By SaMuRa! Baby .)"?

Also, the leader of one of our three main political parties died this morning. The nicer of the three. OGdammit.

This week is starting off very strangely.

Wow Mind...are you still able to operate the buisness???

Yeah, it's just one of the companies we deal with and currently a rather small percentage of our business at that, but it's still annoying. We can still use the site if we disable redirects or click on a link before it does its redirect though.

So... Mindfield....... Is there a good Li-on grass trimmer at reasonable price/performance? (I know.... I know... real engines and all that.... but I'm sick of the 1) noise, 2) vibration, 3) mix). The 15 yo one that I have needs a carb-clean/rebuild so I'm in the market and with e-cigs using Li-on, was thinking about Li-on since I'm not a yard service or anything.

Idiots of course, Mind. By definition.

Yeah, very much so. But a tool company? And not even a leading tool company either. I mean, as a means of trying to attract attention to your m@d l33t sk1llz, this is the hacking equivalent of doing naked somersaults down a subway tunnel at 1:30am on a Wednesday. A few people might notice but they're probably not going to give a damn or even know what you're trying to accomplish.

I don't think any of the companies we deal with have any LiIon electric trimmers. However, I used to work for Black & Decker and they had made a few trimmers that used NiCd rechargeables. Some used the same batteries as their tools, but there was one with a large proprietary battery. I haven't worked there in over 6 years now so I don't know if they've migrated to LiIon, but I know they were migrating all of DeWalt's power tool batteries to LiIon right around the time that I left, so they might have finally upgraded their trimmers, too -- or at least maybe that nice big one. It was very quiet too -- or at least as quiet as a trimmer gets with trimmer line whipping around. :)

Morning Classy...this is what we get for talking about shoes last night LMAO...now weed wackers are taking over...Giggle

We must maintain the testostrogen equilibrium in this thread!

Also, I have no idea what was going on in that thread other than that there seem to be 510s with reverse polarity and the OP unfortunately discovered this by unfortunate accident. I only ever owned one 510 set but it was a SmokTech and is really only a backup.
