  1. @LTS

    Here is the early trend after the first 3 cuts, 2 a week, so this is 1 1/2 weeks. Bare in mind the 9 day condensed usage due the grass growth given the rain.

    1st cut, grass 6" average, 1st cut of season, heavy rain prior, grass still moist in low spots. Low speed, low blade speed, 1 cut down to 3". 84% battery start, 21% at complete thick tall grass cut.

    2nd cut 3 days later, grass 5" average, low speed, low blade speed, 1 cut down to 2.5". 100% battery start, 39% completion.

    3rd cut 3 days later, today, grass 5" average again (Stop Raining!!!!), 1 cut down to 2.5", 100% battery start, 45% completion.

    A couple of trends of note.

    1.) 2 x 40v batteries drain, the 2 x 80v carry the day. Picture below will show you post cut battery situation. The purchase comes with 2 x 40v and 2 x 80v with room for 2 more 40v and 1 more 80v. Personally, I'm going to take the grand or so hit and purchase them, given what I'm running in to with the plush lawn due to rain situation. Just an insurance purchase type thing for me. Glad I found out early on. 

    2.) Charging time, expect a good 2 to 4 hrs from 39%-45% range with the 2/2 as purchased battery configuration. The charger doesn't have a selector for fast charge, so best to stay on top of it.

    So far LTS, she's performed as advertised, but I'll let ya know how the batteries handle a full summer. As stated, below are pics of yard done and machine battery data.

    Novikov is already what we hope Komorov becomes at least defensively.  I don’t know how offensive defenseman from the Q translate offensively.  Their defensive play is questionable at best.  It’s good to see another prospect doing well though. 

    I'm liking what your saying here. I need to see defensive play standing out.

  3. I don't believe we'll have an answer as to which goalie is actually better for 4 or 5 years yet imo.

    Which performs better in crunch time end of season gunning for a playoff spot clutch situations? Which performs better with an 82 game season consistency? Which is more stable in an actual playoff run and more questions I am sure.

  4. I think the 25 draft, with a couple 2nd rdrs and FA is where Beane & Co. will really accelerate the retooling. We just have to survive this season without serious injuries while competing for yet another playoff run. Geez, what a bad situation to have, eh? 🤣 

    The Bills are going to be fine, I fully endorse what they are doing. Clearing space, inserting entry level contracts, while addressing need. 2 x 👍 

    GO BILLS!!!

    You replaced Davis with the  rookie  who will likely have 600 yards + 

    But who is replacing diggs who's going to be the "guy" 

     

    The reality is we are going to have to make do with what we have, for now. Every team goes through the cap crunch time period. As I eluded to earlier in a post, the Bills had to remove some cap given their success, clearing the way for fresh contracts and another run. Their first run was stopped by KC each and every time. They'll be fine, next season isn't the end, it's not even the beginning of the end. But it is perhaps, the end of the beginning.

    I'm confused who's going to be the number 1 guy ? Maybe Kincaid?  he's realistically only one I could see passing 900 yards .

     

    The hype on the receiver issue on the roster is reaching ridiculous levels now.

    The Bills lost Diggs, who was irrelevant the last 6 to 8 games, including the playoffs where he dropped a Josh Allen in the basket touchdown pass with 8 min left against the Chiefs, and Davis who dropped passes or couldn't get open so often that no one knew he was playing 80% of the time.

    The passing game will be fine.

    I’ve already told the wife I will buy one of the next generation to replace the riding mower I have currently. I also need to see how the vineyard and orchard are going to affect the size of my mowing area(s), so I figure it’s probably a 3 year buying timeline. 

    All that aside, it isn’t even the gas or changing the oil that bothers me the most—it’s the noise. I switched to a push electric a while back for working minor stuff around raised beds and fence lines. I love it because the noise level makes it more comfortable to work with. How is the decibel level like on your Ryobi? Any operator fatigue from mowing the acre?

    Noise is very minimal. But I work around large motors and pumps, streamlines, all day, so I'm hearing defeceint as it is.

    Please report your performance over the summer.... as I am interested.  I have a Husqvarna riding mower now but I often use my Ryobi electric push mower (exercise!!!)

    I might consider this thing if it holds up.  The push mower is great.

    Here she is when I unpacked her....

    Edit: I normally cut twice a week. I'll keep a running tally on both the machines performance as well as the electric bill increase for ya, but the bill aspect should be negligible when compared to gas, oil and so forth.

  9. Picked up the Ryobi 80v 0 turn 42" deck electric mower. 1st use today. 1 acre, thick, plush lawn grass, started at 84% charge on 2 x 10ah 80v and 2 8ah 40v, upon completion, 21%.

    If the 3rd 80v and additional 2 40v are purchased, I can fully see the 3 acre capacity claimed by Ryobi as a very real claim. She performed superbly, cut through the 5 and 6 inch grass on low blade and low speed mode with ease, no second cut was needed.

    Highly recommend this product if your looking to get away from oil changes, gas.

  10. Beane's doing the right thing here. To bad the first build around Josh couldn't defeat Mahomes. But, this coming season is going to be a nose dive while we wait the season to clear cap to add again. Happens to all teams as far as hitting the cap wall.

    You want me to say deliberately deceived his audience instead? Adams knowingly and purposely made it sound like he conducted a more extensive search than he clearly did. They wanted Ruff and they got Ruff. 

    From whats rumored he set up a speed dating interview process with 12 candidates. They started at 10am, just after brunch, ended at 10:10am. From what I hear, Lindy was the only one that used the tic tacs before sitting down, that sold Adams.

    In a nod to those who thought Lindy's time had ended in Buffalo, he just said he wasn't the coach he needed to be in 2013. He is talking about the many changes he's made as a coach. "I'm a better coach today."

    I knew it! I knew somewhere, deep down in your bowels, you were a Lindy fan.

    Unless the roster is improved, the coach won't matter much. 

    Respectfully, I disagree. They'll be in the playoffs next year with Lindy behind the bench, and hear me out LG. They've never experienced a coach with his style yet, was he the best choice? No, I concur with you that it was a knee jerk reaction to both the "soft" label and the brand destruction that has occurred. Adams has to address the roster, that will be meaningful assets moving out to bring in that which could propel the team to competitive contention. But Lindy isn't a horrible choice, given the bar is low and so are the revenue generating coffers. Is it a shi tty deal for us that want a cup? Half and half, since nothing is guaranteed, but Pegula knows he has to right the ship. Just my view, my honest view, is all.

    So the Sabres with 13 NO PLAYOFF SEASONS is on a CUP RUN????

    Geez, I hope they can back in next year like McDermott!

    Who you kidding???????

     

    This Roster on offense has 6 keepable players.

    What does this have to do with Lindy?

    Adams as the GM is in charge of the roster assets available. The current core of the roster will make the playoffs this coming seadon, bank on it. It's up to Kyven, not Lindy, to acquire the pieces for cup contention.

  15. Just now, Dr. Who said:

    Ignore it and be happy. At minimum, the Sabres have a competent, experienced coach who will hold the players accountable. Folks were crying for that all year, but now it wasn't a reach coaching search, so the rest doesn't matter.

    I have to ask why lol. I highly respect all here, but if SDS responds, I pay attention. Never met them outside of here, but I value his input seeing all that he has seen. It peeks my interest is all.
