The winter hasn't been particularly cold so far where I live in Northern Illinois. But we've had a lot of dreary, sunless days with very little snow to brighten things up, and most of the vegetation, of course, is wearing a shade of brown. So I thought I'd mix things up today with some sunshine, summer color and a glimpse of warm weather yard work, and with a touch of Dutch angle too for a bit of added pizzaz.
The bulk package of plastic string for my trimmer comes with a cutter blade in a plastic holder.
Roughly 1:1 reproduction ratio. The outside dimension of the cutter cutter is approximately 25mm/1"
St. Luke's has a group of volunteers who regularly meet to maintain the cemetery ground. I am one of those volunteers.
The cost of this bike trailer box I built last year from free cardoard was zero ($0.00).
Works real good, lasts a long time.
Saturday morning I cycled over to St. Luke's church cemetery to do some volunteer cleanup with my battery-powered tools in my Burley Flatbed Trailer®.
Ryobi's Expand It line of tools permits just that. Use one cordless, battery powered head, and change any number of attachments with the twist-of-a-wrist.
To this end, this morning brought me to the cemetery to try out the new (my second) string-trimmer, Expand It bar with weed-eater head mounted.
On the Expand It bar I already have (see photo) is attached a metal-tipped brush-cutter blade (made by Signature manufacturing) which has been used successfully in the past.
Now, instead of changing the tool-heads, one can simply change the bars in the Ryobi powerhead.
Simple? You bet.

We live on a 640-acre ranch in the high desert, in Big Valley, California.
We decided to lay down a new gravel floor in our crude 1930s garage. The gravel is often called "Cinders", and is actually pumice from a long-past volcanic eruption.
All of the "stuff" on the floor/ground needed to be moved out or over to make way. Now that this side is done, back over we'll go with some of the stuff, and out with the rest to prepare for the second half to be graveled.
This image was made with my Rokinon 8mm f/3.5 fisheye lens at f/5.6, mounted on my Nikon D600 DSLR. ISO100.
The yellow light in the rafters came from my Nikon SB-600 Speedlite with a knock-off Sto-Fen CTO in place (Not sure if 1/2 or full).
I had the rig on a tripod, and shot 4 or 5 frames at 3-stop intervals, then combined in Photomatix, and tweaked with Nikon Capture NX-D beta.
The resulting image was then "defished" in PTGui, trial version (thus the watermarks).

Wednesday morning, as a St. Luke's Church volunteer, I weed-whacked the area seen in the foreground.

Upon my arrival this large buck was resting on Long-Gun-Jack-by-the Sea's gravesite I cleared last week.
It must have been a good job as it's passed the deer test.
Just another regular at St. Luke's church cemetery.
NB This is what well fed, healthy, whitetail deer looks like.
Wednesday morning, as a St. Luke's Church volunteer, I weed-whacked the area seen in the foreground.
Yup. it's just what it looks like.
Nope, it didn't hurt nearly as much as it should have.
Many lessons could be learned from this!
Don't trim weeds while barefoot or drinking...
I got my 1st smart phone (smarter than me) in April and have been fumbling around with it.
Now I have 3 months of photos to look thru, many memories...
While we were away on our summer holiday, the weeds took over again :-( We rented a strimmer for a couple of days and I got stuck in. Juckily my mother-in-law was in town - she loves gardening, and so was thrown in at the deep end! Scrap wood, glass and metal on the roof of the shed in an effort to keep the rain out.
