Grit in the Gears

I am the grit in the gears, the missing bolt, I am the poker of sticks into spokes. I like to know how things work, but sometimes when I take them apart and rebuild them, I have a few pieces left over. I am a man, so I tend to leave reading the instructions until after it goes wrong. And like all men I have a comprehensive mental map of the world and never need to ask directions. I never get lost, only sometimes I'm late, or end up in the wrong place entirely. It's what we do.

Lawn Mowing Time...

I love this and want it so much it hurts. I want the leaf-blower option too, and a snowplough blade and the helicopter blades and and and...

It occurs to me that it might not need so much cooling if you just threw away the bubble canopy. But, of course, if you did, it would no longer be the mega-coolest mower on the third planet.

If we Look at some of the modern zero turn radius mowers, we see that this isn't too far off in accuracy.

I'm becoming a little jaded about 1950's & 60's efficiencies. Labor saving, but NOT energy efficient.

Recent commenter, using the name Mac (as opposed to mac, see above, whilst I welcome genuine comments, this blog does not exist in order to advertise your business.

I realise you're trying to use the internet to promote your business, but you failed to note my antipathy toward spammers.
A polite approach first might have got you a better result. As might offers of gold. But then again, probably not.
