My own lawn I could do with a normal push mower, it's the council lawn that's the problem. If it was me I would just let the fucken thing get overgrown. My partner has different ideas though

Excellent, two question today and you have the answers I want to hear
Sweet, I have used Honda equipment in landscaping before, again years ago and they were great. Just hadn't been sure these days after reading reviews as there are Chinese made Hondas these days. Would you trust a Chinese Honda motor.
I saw a fella testing Honda generators, one was Japan and one was china, seemed the Chinese one ran rougher, used more juice and oil.
I'm guessing for 1100 it should be Japanese

I don't know where the new mowers are made, you might have to ask the manufacturer, I'd say most or some of the parts would come from china these days.

Chinese "Honda" copies are not sold as Honda but are almost identical to look at and are rubbish, genuine Honda's like that mower you're looking at are a great engine. Change the oil every 6 months and will last you long time..and don't use E10 fuel in it.

Sweet, yeah I haven't put E10 in a mower for many years.

Ribbet, but ribbet good
Has anyone had a bicycle seat re-upholstered? My wifes Electra Ergo saddle has some cracks in the vinyl that either tear small holes in leggings or pill the fabric on tougher bike shorts or normal shorts. The rest of the seat is in great condition.
It's a big cruiser saddle so I figure someone who does motorcycle seats could do it, in leather that will last until the mechanical parts of the saddle start to wear out. The fancy model from Trek is $162, the base model is $65 but has a lycra insert which I think would wear out. I think it would be a really good upcycling project, I hate throwing things out where only a small part of them is damaged.

Replacing brake hose.
Any good hacks/techniques in regards to introducing fluid back in the lines?
I was thinking cut new hose to length terminate at caliper and lever then connect a syringe to the shimano lever and an open hose to the caliper (hose end submerged in oil) and draw the fluid up through the lever. Once done do a proper bleed...
Just trying to minimise air in the calipers.

Luff me it is windy out here
Keep the bleed nipple closed and the hose port at the highest point of the caliper & you'll not lose any fluid from the caliper or introduce air. Once all hooked up, push oil up from the caliper.

Yep that is how I bleed my brakes. But with brand new hoses and a gravity bleed I'll be pushing all the air out of the hoses through the calipers which I would like to avoid.

Could you bleed the hose into a bag before you connect it? Might be messy though…

I had thought that though as you say could be messy, I think I'll just connect then push the oil up from the caliper like @The Duckmeister suggested
How hard is to count? I mean seriously 1, 2 3, etc up to fucking 10, then repeat. In 10s. Fucking simple, even kids can do it.
So how the hell did I end up ordering 16 too few fucking lego pieces to finish the wheels on the traction engine. 6 fucking teen.

I think that I see the issue... you keep skipping four through nine, that's at least three fifths of your problem.

Merry fucking Xmas to you assholes
Best is to use two upright syringes to pump fluid back and forth between caliper and master cylinder and let bubbles move to the top near the plungers.

Just walk around barefoot in low light. You'll find them soon enough.
I'm in a pub seemingly filled with dimwits. This place seems to only exist as a place for people to play pokies. And as I sit here awaiting my dinner I hear the whitlams blow up the pokies playing.
