You have to count the beer you drink while you're mowing.

Mine used to take me almost a six-pack.

How straight were the lines after?

He was a man of his word

Such a great movie!

Agreed. Milton rules, I'd happily watch a movie based solely around him and his quiet angst.

 

[James A. Doty]

easily solved. drink more beer!

That's a much better, and less expensive than switching to an electric mower. Bravo.

Doesn't matter, really. Half the time, he'd mowed the wrong property.

Oh God, like when Russell Caase crop dusted the wrong field. My late girlfriend thought Randy Quaid was the second funniest man on the planet.

The last 48 hours it feels like the bones in 2 thirds of my spine are just grinding against each. Ordered a new way to carry my trailing gear to help take some load off my back....we shall see

Two things I don't miss now that I'm retired.

Those Sunday night feelings of dread from knowing I have to got to work in the morning.

The boss coming in with something he or she, I'd had four bosses where I worked over a 27 year career, thought of over the weekend that is now suddenly a priority.

Now that I looked up and posted the rc lawn mower over here....I get the ads for the product. One of which was a demo type video commercial that makes it look like it's worth the $$ ....as long as the longevity is there. I kind of want 1 now.

My back is less crappy today....mainly because I did very little yesterday.

Once my +20yo Craftsmen riding mower goes, my next mower will be a mowing robot. They'll most likely get better and cheaper as times goes on. As of right now, many are about the same cost as an entry level riding mower.
I actually don't mind mowing the lawn, but having an extra +2hr freed up every week would certainly be useful.

Physically I would like to be done with lawn mowing. My place isn't big enough to justify a rider. I switched to an old school reel mower a while back to save on gas, and stop having to pull the start cord that aggravates my shoulder issues. This rc mower would be a nice option.....not as nice as a place in the desert with a nice patch of dirt that never needs mowing though

Why do rc makers go to this painstaking level of detail for the looks of a classic car, and no one on the design team speaks up to point out that it's not supposed to be 4wd...

Not only that but they have a left and right servo instead of the scale left turn only servo.

Up until a year or two ago until horizon found out they called 4x4 models a c10 instead of k10.

because if it was Rwd and had the power required to hit the speeds people want these days the car would be undrivable by most buyers.
