I'm keeping one for use on my trainer after I fit a road tire in the back for a smoother ride. ( That was annoying with my TREK.) And gave the other one to a young 15 yrs old girl who's mother is a patient of mine. They are not well off and this was her very first bicycle. She cried, I cried. We all cried.

That's a great find LJ, I love a bargain myself and it's heartwarming knowing you gave the other bike to that not so well off girl.

Lucky Brand have been my favorite Blue Jeans fire the last 20 years or so.
I also wear Silver, Joe's and Levi's.
But this particular pair of Lucky are some of the most comfortable jeans I've ever bought! I thought this "cool max" on the tag was a gimmick. But they actually are on to something here....

Curious, what made you chose Husqvarna over Stihl?

It was hard!
The Stihl is a pound lighter. But the Husky has an outboard clutch, which lines the blade up closer to the middle of the body, making it handle a little better.
Then this guy on Youtube said the Stihl is more like a Ferrari in performance & power delivery, and the Husky more like an American muscle car with a little broader power spread. This might be better for me, since we always have many kinds of trees falling on the property.
Both have dealers sort of near me up north, so a draw there. If I didn't pay my $$ yesterday, there's a chance I would be buying the Stihl tomorrow, though. Both are kick-arse!

Which camp are you in?

The vast majority of my equipment is Stihl. I have a back up Husky trimmer and bought a Husky back pack leaf blower last year. Aside from those two items, everything else is Stihl aside from my mower.

I have a mowing crew and we've been using husq trimmers for almost 20yrs, light, easy and fast to start and the trigger pulls easy. Everything else is Stihl, love their BR700 blower.

Before I realized it was an eardrum, I thought it was a picture of his colonoscopy.

lol don't worry I wouldn't do such a thing. You should see the review photos though, nasty! As someone who intubated airways for 13 years I think I'll be a-ok looking in my ears.
