Sickness all over
November 4, 2009
Three blog posts in one day! Aren’t you lucky? 
Two of us are crook today.
- Adelaide spent most of the night being violently ill. Poor kid has a terribly upset tummy. Lisa tells me she’s asleep now, but she had a pretty tough night.
- I’m feeling like death warmed up with a combination of hay fever and a head cold.
Lisa is soldiering on as she always does. I suspect her arms are pretty sore though; she spent a bunch of time in the yard with our fabulous new Honda powered weed whacker cleaning up for the coming summer season.
And yes, I know I should have been out there doing it, but I was working inside the house on a few other equally important things. I did take a break from that and help her clean up inside the backyard. She’s done a great job though; the block looks great.

Mr Morris;
I thought it was a Japanese engine, the Honda gen II GX25 mini 4-stroke? I know Honda have some mower engines made in Thailand and China, but don’t know about the brushcutter.
Ours is one of the Kaaz models. I looked at it in a Honda dealer. The dealer had the full range of the Kaaz models. Bunnings had only the 25cc model. Bunnings sell it for about $70 less than the dealer. Just depends where you want it serviced.
Regardless of where the engine is made it worked a treat. Ours is recommended for large residential properties and small farms. I worked it pretty hard given we were way behind on our grass maintenance. It got two solid days of work and didn’t complain. I also found that the twine lasted a lot longer than that of our previous home line trimmer. The vibration and noise are minimal (sounds a bit like a mini bike) and it’s fairly light to carry. The bull handle is available for another $200 (or possibly less.) I didn’t mind the loop handle, I found it quite comfortable.
Only side effect was a little bit of arm soreness after the first day, and a stone cut to the face when Andrew tried it out
We’ve been told we’ll get a good 20 years out of it.
Hey Lisa,
thanks for that … Might go to Bunnings, seeing as we have a couple hundred dollars in Bunnings vouchers from the wedding, and prior…
How are our wedding pics looking?
Your wedding pics look fabulous! Andrew’s just got to give them to you..
is that the Honda with the Japanese engine on it? Looking for a brushcutter/petrol trimmer at the moment, and the Kaaz at Bunnings with the Honda on it is the Chinese engine…
Lost the M on the last post
Hope you all feel better soon
