Mine's only got one cutting edge, but it can be turned around and IF run in reverse would change to "wheel", etc.
Of course neither the article or the maker wants to talk about running in reverse. Cant blame 'em.
Thanks. Good picture, and I've never seen one that clearly befo.

Ed has a very good camera, and knows how to use it!!!!:)

I have a good camera too, and I know how to load the batteries. After that things get a bit hazy...

Early? Moi? Not so much. My breakfast is your lunch. {HST is -10GMT; Eastern is -4.}
But on those days when I want- or need- to catch the Pre-Market stock market I'll get up before 0300 to get coffee and login to the broker. Or I can skip the coffee, make my trade quickly and then go back to bed for a couply more hours 'til dawn.

P.S. 0700 is early to me!

It's the latitude.
Up on the Arctic Circle I could sleep all day if I wanted.

But down here, in the Tropic of Cranky, if you want to do anything and not raise a big sweat you best be on the move early, and preferably before dawn. Nuttin discourages me more than sittin down to check my email at 0-dawn-thirty and seeing the thermometer on the desk readin 83.
Not too bad if I'm working (or whatever-ing) inside, now our PV system is up and running. I can turn the A/C on from just past sunup to dusk and it doesn't cost a dime.

Btw, I have been known to take lots of naps during the day.

Could be!
I think that is the excuse for siestas in Mexico.

PV = free AC?????

I think the Mexico problem, rather than the heat, stems from all the lard in the refries et al.

Ah, so, sorry about that PV thing. "Photo-Voltaic". Solar panels on the roof. Our electric bill for a really hot month used to run almost to 500 (when I just got sick & tired of sweating 24/7 and said the heck with it). {and that's dollars, btw.}

Now, we pay power company "administrative" fees (like all those nickel & dime swindles one sees on one's phone bill) of $17.00.
Period.
Next issue: A/C in the garage (the sawdustarium).
