It’s about the same size as the Foxy.
I ended up with two of the foxy mods but haven’t used one in a long time.
They’ll take the big batteries too.
Alexa says………Goodnight. Sweet dreams.
I had a really tough day at work but had to mow tonight since we we have a storm coming tonight and the back was already getting tall.
Good evening folks,
50 pages behind, I have work in front of me, but I will reach the finish line, probably not today though

Good Morning Mixers, Have A Nice Day !
It's with a very heavy heart and tears down my cheeks, that I have to post the following...since I'd promised Uncle I would do it when the time came. 
His sister called me early last night from Colorado, to let me know that he'd unexpectedly passed away last Thursday, in his apartment in Ft. Lauderdale. Another sister had been with him, so he wasn't alone. His cause of death hasn't been determined yet, but she said it could've possibly been a too high potassium level, or maybe a blood clot from the broken bone and surgery, or something else entirely.
He'd called me last Tuesday night...out of rehab then and back at his apartment. He and his sister had been trying to arrange home health care for him, because doing pretty much anything by himself, was challenging for him. His goal was to hopefully even just get back to how things were before he'd broken his tibia. When he sensed my heightened concern and worry about his situation, he said in his typical sarcastic way..."OH, don't worry...I'm not going anywhere anytime soon" and then laughed. I'd told him I'd still call regularly to check on him, and he said, "Nooo, I'll call you, 'cause I can't always get to the phone or I may be sleeping at irregular times." So, I reluctantly honored his request.
A package was delivered from him Friday, that he'd said he likely wouldn't get mailed until Friday. That was unusual for him, and I wanted to call, but since he'd said not to, I didn't. I'd learned over the years that Uncle meant what he said, and showing what he thought was more concern for him than he deserved...would cause his typical, funny sarcasm to just run amok.
I know for certain that ECF and the many friends he made here were an important, loved, and truly enjoyable part of his life. It was funny to me when he'd get miffed and say, "There's only 1 Uncle on ECF", when others who had Uncle as part of their user names were at times mistakenly referred to as just "Uncle".
I'm so glad I got to meet and visit with him in person twice and that we became very good friends for the last 3-4 years. He gave it all he had...when dealing with every new health problem that reared its ugly head. I'll definitely miss him and even his frequently posted "Happy Birthday" dirty old man with the candle posts.
For the final time....Just Sayin'...........

Damn, he had a lot of medical problems but I didn't expect this. We'll miss you @Uncle!
I’m so sad to hear this. I never met him in person but considered him a friend.It's with a very heavy heart and tears down my cheeks, that I have to post the following...since I'd promised Uncle I would do it when the time came.

I'm sad to learn of this. Uncle has always been a bright light on ECF. Despite his challenges, he maintained such a strong spirit and positive attitude. He frequently inspired to put my crabby outlook in check when it came to new physical threats.It's with a very heavy heart and tears down my cheeks, that I have to post the following...since I'd promised Uncle I would do it when the time came.
Bon Voyage Uncle. We miss you already.

JC, thanks for telling us. He will be missed by many.
Currently 72 and going to 77 today. A bit muggy but at least it isn't raining.

Thanks @JCinFLA
RIP Uncle
Our telephone conversations, texts and PM's were always a pleasure. Uncle was so dang funny and gregarious. Always very upbeat. I loved how he challenged my thinking with very well thought-out responses and tough questions. His advice was gold. Uncle was truly a Man among boys.

Thank you once again, JC. Reading this more than once doesn’t make it easier. Uncle will be missed. R.I.P.It's with a very heavy heart and tears down my cheeks, that I have to post the following...since I'd promised Uncle I would do it when the time came.
