    Hi you three. Thanks for all the updates. Loved your conversation with Mina about the tooth fairy, what a great imagination and her English is amazing and improving all the time. Well done Mina! That fence looks so much better and safer too. Glad you got your flip flops sorted I was beginning to worry about you. Strange that you can't get a 30m extension for you new hedge trimmer, I am sure that most people would need more than the standard 10m or perhaps they don't have a hedge at all and just use the trimmer as a status symbol. Round here they tend to use the Brush cutter for everything from grass cutting to tree felling and probably trimming toe nails as well as they only wear flip flops! I think that you must have our rain up there as this year, even though it is forecast every day and we hear thunder, it never rains! That means a lot of hosepipe use! May God continue to bless you all and protect you. 😀❤🙏

    Hi Todd,,, best I can find for an 18 inch corded hedge trimmer,,from 120 to 160 and a few even higher. Mina wanted to smile,,but it's hard with a chunk of cotton in her mouth. Her eyes were certainly expressive and huge❤❤. The table was awwwwesome,,I think the biggest ever.. Dad has to have foot surgery next month,, looking forward to the summer roadies. Ttyl,,,Marlon

    Felt pretty good about myself this morning. Groomed the balls with my trusty handheld, AAA battery driven device and then turned on UA-cam to watch Todd sprout about his need for either a 2-stroke or 240 Volt machine to do HIS balls. The bloke was even complaining about the blade not being strong enough to do the job and needing not one, but two cans of WD-40 to protect the blades! This bloke doesn't need a Visa, he just walks through immigration with short-shorts (denim of course).
    Good vid; all the best.

    I wonder if they have TEMU or Aliexpress or any other online stores there?
    What's odd, is that when I look at some of the prices that people pay in Mainland china, I can get the same stuff here in USA shipped for the same price or lower than what it is in Chinese stores.
