Several years ago, I replaced the ancient electric mower with a brand new push mower--to get some exercise, get rid of the noisy electric, and perhaps indulge some nostalgia for old times...Did that for one year, bought a new electric mower this year, and plan to hire someone to cut the lawn next year.

So I figure the push mower was a good investment--it taught me that I should spend more time on making music instead of hay.
