Didn't find it any different re: jamming. Can get 4m of line on and it might jam once or twice using that up.

Mine is a cheapy that has done a massive amount of work.

Some time back I wrote this about one of the guide dogs we had:

Well, maybe not faulty but there's something wrong so we had to leave her for X-rays, etc. It seems she had meningitis as a pup and we hope that isn't the cause of her problems.

Last week, when we returned Selby, the trained guide dog we've had for 4 months, we were told Hannah is out and working. The meningitis didn't stop her becoming a working girl.

(The reason we had Selby for so long was that he'd been returned by the client. He didn't like small dogs - I knew he was a smart dog!

Whilst buying a new external hard drive this morning, I saw a Misfit Shine and decided to buy it to track my activity (now I've got diabetes).

Got home and unpacked the Fitbit and found it must have been a returned item. Someone had tried to open it incorrectly (to install the battery) and it's got numerous indentations around the rim where they've twisted the tool. It's meant to plug into a slot which they've obviously missed despite the big arrow pointing at it.

I hope my new hard drive is OK.

That's a real talent you have Ron, did it take much to master it?

STIHL Qingdao | STIHL

Today I bought a new Stihl FSE 71 corded electric line trimmer. It has a "Made in Austria" sticker. Maybe that's where the sticker is made.

Nope. It failed and has been replaced under warranty by Seagate.

You must be overdue for a square deal, Ron.
