Times 3. That was 21 way back when I was in school.

There could be more of the same coming because it keeps telling me that
the server could not be reached thus it was not sent...see what happens
with this one. Heck, it could be 42 feet once they all get there!

I got the same thing for a few minutes. My settings were
supposedly wrong although I haven't changed anything for almost a year.


I think sometimes posting using aioe.org that issue happens. It may
have nothing to do with your settings at all.

Well, no matter what the problem was that Harbor Freight Grabber got out
there a lot further that was expected...think I will buy one. :-)

Don't, if it's that blue plastic one. I bought one. There are better
ones available.

I use one - a better one, now - when I pick up the fallen branches,
pine cones, and potato plants from my yard before mowing the grass. It
saves bending over multiple times.


Actually, I already have a decent "grabber" but rarely use it. Now tell
us all what the heck potato plants are doing in your yard.


The "air potato" is one of the most invasive plants found in Florida.
The vine grows up on and strangles every tree that it is near. The
vine grows very rapidly.

It produces tubers that resemble potatoes. These fall to the ground
and start a new plant. I have pick up literally hundreds from the
yard in a year's time because I have a wooded area that's part of the
property.

This is what I pick up:

Very interesting, I am in Naples part of each winter and have never
encountered such things. Maybe they are not as common that far south.
Thanks for the education.
