[Shop-talk] String trimmers, again.

[David C.]

In the spirit of They Don't Make 'Em Like They Used To, we still have an 
original yellow Weed Eater that my father in law bought who knows how 
long ago in Spokane.  It's so old it has the single line manual head. 
My wife still uses it to trim around the back fence.  Me, I use my big 
he-man Sthil straight shaft bike handle trimmer to beat the weeds, 
shrubs, small trees and slugs into submission.
