    Ever heard of a "Tang Wipe?"

    As requested…..

    BEHOLD, A GIANT WEED WHACKER !!
    No, it is not a small limb chipper as some of the reviews indicated but instead, it’s a very large weed and leaf mulcher.
    I thought about sending it back and spend a couple hundred more on something that would consume anything that was put through it like a giant garbage disposal but alas, I really do need something that will reduce pine needles and leaves into ground mulch.

    Normally 199 beans or something like that but I got it for 129. No chrome knobs or flashy lights but on the up side it does make a lot of noise.

    They’re used to the sounds of saws, routers, planers, chain saws and such.
    I’m sure they’re happier with the sounds I provide rather than the gun shots that go off nearly every other night around the neighborhood.

    Congrats on the new shredder. I've never seen an electric one that takes string trimmer line. Interesting design.

    After trying it out, it’s definitely a safety glasses and mask machine. A lot of fine particles blow up through the top.
    I’ll be toting it out front pretty soon so that instead of having 25-30 bags of pine needles and leaves, I’ll be able to narrow it down to maybe 5 and dump it in a pile for Yvonne’s spring planting.

    Note: It has a 15 amp motor and I possess a 7” plate and blades from a defunct limb shredder so I’m already thinking of how to convert the machine depending on what I’m trying to shred.

    Bought some of the probiotics I like:

    Walmart no longer carries the 50 count bottle in the store, which is less than 1/2 the per-capsule price of the 30 count bottle. Unfortunately, Walmart has started assessing a fee for online orders under $35, so I ordered 3 bottles.

    Add in something else you want for free shipping. These are 60 capsules.

    Yeh, that's from Amazon. I ordered from Walmart. And that's exactly what I did...I bought a 3rd bottle. (I still don't see how there's enough profit to go around after they pay freight.)

    The 60 count from Amazon is 41¢ per capsule. It says "Ultimate Flora."
    The 50 count from Walmart is 31¢ per capsule. It says "Extra Care Digestive."
    Both contain 30 Billion CFU and 12 strains. The list of strains is identical.

    The product sold on Amazon is not listed on the manufacturer's website...they list "Ultimate Flora" in 90 Billion CFU and 150 Billion CFU capsules. And they changed their packaging and capsule count so it's tough to compare to the one you are used to getting. I ran into this confusion a while ago at Walmart.

    I hate it when manufacturers confuse things this way. Maybe this belongs under Rants and not Purchases. Now my digestive health don't feel so good. Bastards.
