Kek. Also, I enjoyed 12 screambled eggs this morning, 10 dkk or a whopping 1.52 usd total. The 3 packs of bacon was 20 dkk. A solid meal for a viking. We can't sell either to the us bc, well, I donno, tariffs? Shrug.

in regards to the miniyuka
set it all up last weekend. first cut is tomorrow at 9:30 am, and every saturday- unless raining at 9:30 i still have to move a few branches to clear the yard of winter debris.
will give a detaied review on how the cut went this weekend/mondayish.
the yuka has most of the options of the luba, just smaller.
review on setup..first
DO NOT PLAY WITH THE CUTTERS they are fucking Sharp!...nearly needed stitches when my hand slipped and i put an ~half inch deep slice thru my pinkie.
inital review on setup:
downloaded the app,,,,
my phone found both the gps antenna and the mower over bluetooth easily.
updated the gps & mower firmware...
installed the gps antenna off my deck:
There is only one way to screw in the antenna base sideways so that when the pole is screwed in the antenna is positioned correctly & no real way to tell which way it is without premarking the fucking thing, i did it wrong twice. third time was the charm other than that, installation was simple. screw in bluetooth antenna, screw in gps unit to pole, plug it in.
installing the mower base, 4 plastic screws that are 4" long screw into the dirt, took 2 minutes if that. easy.
using my phone, i then drove the mower around the yard perimeter making the maps and the paths to the base.. it all went fine very easy to do. control was easy on the phone, left thumb forward back, right thumb left right. the mower did catch on a bent fence picket but i was on manual mode so manual overrides the hey that is in the way part, that was my fault.
once i had both zones maps, and paths between zones and a route to the base, i had it automatically return to the base. it went fine though it went the long way to the base.
using the app from work i was able to connect to my mower. viewed the video over the internet and drove it a little bit just to see if i could,...i could.
so far thumbs up.

More. Mower has been running for a bit over an HR now. So far so good it cut around the tree in the middle of my front yard np. My lawn is 4000 SF according to the mapping. Total time to mow is 6 hours it is just finishing zone 1 the right side of my front yard which is about 650sf. Battery is at about 25% and at 15% it will go and recharge then resume.
Except for it being slower than I thought it would be, it is operating well. My front yard lawn is in Rough shape and it is the beginning of the year so I cannot tell how smooth it all will turn out but so far so good. At most I think I will have to run the trimmer against the fence and bush edges. It cuts its route in rows then at the end runs around the perimeter 4 times. To clean up the cut limits at the outside, I guess. it is doing perimeter of area 1 now. Battery just hit 15%..App put a paused marker on area 1 and mower is returning to charger, and will resume when battery recharged in an HR or so. Total run time ~90 minutes on one charge.
I do have to redo main path to charger. Area 2_overlaps main path and apparent "blocks" the route so mower will not go back to charge via that route but has to take the long way around.
Edit1: mower on 2nd charging phase about 30% done with lawn. 3.5 HR in 4 HR to go. so with charging time more like ~6 HR to go. Going to redo the starting time to 630 am.....
