[AT] Mowing

[Spencer Yost]

As I age, comfort and convenience start being worth more.   Also I've noticed that I have less time.  I assumed  I would have more time as I aged but my jobs and commute consume 13 hours a day.   I have less time to mow than I used to.

But less face it:  When I was a younger, more reliable model year of human being I would mow in a cold wind with grit and determination.    

Now I just want a mower that won't spill my beer.

I have not gotten that nice mower yet but I can see myself with one soon(1-3 years).



Cup holders are expensive.....
