[AT] Mowing

[charlie hill]

Spencer I know exactly what you mean and I can promise you that
I wouldn't yet have a nice ZTR if I hadn't run up on a terrific deal on
a great used one.  However, now that I have one it would be hard
to go back to the old way.

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.....
