Who's in love with their string trimmer?

Sounds like you just need to hire the weedeating and mowing out. You can't
handle life.

best stay inside and watch tv.

I didn't have to carry the mower around while using it but not the
case for the trimmer and blower. Both the blower and trimmer were
impossible to use without having the fumes get into your clothes and
you. The fuel oil mixture smell like crap and required wearing a
filtered mask. Screw that. I won't have another gas powered mower,
blower, trimmer or other yard tool.

Now I could start in on the environmental improvement of using the
electric but hell, I am no environmental nut.

Some people are really sensitive to odors, almost like a blood hound. I know
a lady who know if a smoker was at one time in the room, two years ago!

I handle life just fine by making choices that suit me, not YOU.

I did hire the mowing and weeding out for a couple of years but got
tired of paying an illegal alien better than $50 an hour to do what I
could do myself. Now the job is done right, the way I want it done
and saves money too.

Due to air quality control, there are days our city ask us not to use any
gas operated yard equipment. Some people do smell it and get really sick.

I expect to see more cities and metro areas moving toward banning gas
powered yard equipment during certain hours and even for extended
periods of high polution as the environmental standards get tighter.
That has been proposed in the Houston area and in the DFW area during
the summer months.

Your other comment about the woman who could smell cigarette smoke two
years later might be a bit on the extreme side of sensitive. I am an
ex-smoker who quit thirty years ago and then developed an allergy to
cigarette smoke. Getting around it will cause my sinus and lungs to
start closing down with symptoms similar to ashma. That is not the
case with the gas powered yard tools though, it is simply a preference
issue. I don't like the smell, don't like having it penetrate my
clothes and since there is a very good alternative, I can avoid it.
