I bought my old lawnmower (on the left) in 1997 — one of the first rechargeable electric mowers. So it didn’t quite make it to drinking age before being retired. I was hoping it would last out the season, but its list of issues became too long when a repair I’d made a few years ago failed. So earlier this week I bought a new mower — also rechargeable electric, of course — and used it for the first time today. The technology has advanced significantly in that time, I have to say. But I hope I get 20 years out of this one, too.
