Oh and sorry. I wasn’t ignoring you when you posted to me. It has just been one thing after another here. Mother saga ( and a hum dinger of one, you will have a good laugh when I can tell you), BF saga, children saga’s, car saga’s, and work saga’s. Sigh.
OMG and LOL. I just spit my wine all over the computer screen! My word is medussa. If you could see/be me, that is just what I look/feel like LOL!

Oh my. I have 3 weedwhackers in my garage. All work. All are at least 10 years old.
Of course my belief is that they are afraid to crap out on us. After all , if they dared to do so, my husband would feel the need to pull them apart and fiddle with their innards.
Scary proposition.
Well, I now have yet another weed whacker. I ran out and brought home an electric one, which, by God, works! It’s a little weak compared to the gas powered ones, but it does okay. If I knew how to fiddle with their innards, I’d be threatening to do so in a loud voice. Maybe I should try it anyway. ;)
Yes, J, I think electric and human powered are about my best bet. As you well know.
Let’s hope that summer calms things down at your end soon. I am looking forward to hearing about the Mother saga, though. 
There’s always scythes.
(Tiptoes away, whistling “Bringing in the Sheaves) 
I do have a kind of a scythe. Can’t remember what it’s called, but it cuts down weeds and tall grasses pretty well. Not performed with great rejoicing, however. ;)
Now I’ll have that song in my head all day long!!

I think maybe you really do need to stick to electric weedwhackers, and a push mower! Them gas things just don’t seem to love you LOL!
