So it didn&#8217;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&#8217;d made a few years ago failed. So earlier this week I bought a new mower &#8212; also rechargeable electric, of course &#8212; 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.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/blog.parkercat.org\/doug365\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2017\/08\/2017-08-12-11.39.39.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-2504\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.parkercat.org\/doug365\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2017\/08\/2017-08-12-11.39.39-600x450.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"450\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.parkercat.org\/doug365\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2017\/08\/2017-08-12-11.39.39-600x450.jpg 600w, https:\/\/blog.parkercat.org\/doug365\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2017\/08\/2017-08-12-11.39.39-200x150.jpg 200w, https:\/\/blog.parkercat.org\/doug365\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2017\/08\/2017-08-12-11.39.39-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog.parkercat.org\/doug365\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2017\/08\/2017-08-12-11.39.39-1600x1200.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 984px) 61vw, (max-width: 1362px) 45vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I bought my old lawnmower (on the left) in 1997 &#8212; one of the first rechargeable electric mowers.
