We waited long enough—it was time to get a lawnmower. Went to the hardware store and picked up this EGO number and much to my delight, it required zero assembly—just had to wait for the battery to charge.
It’s been a long time since I pushed around one of these things. I think my least favorite part back in the day was the whole throttle and pulling on the starter rope. With that replaced by a button coupled with quiet operation? I think this might turn out to be something I actually enjoy.
Other household improvements today included purchasing a ladder and hanging up solar lights across the back patio.
