It might explain my wife's unwillingness, then.  Mind you, I have 3 females
to contend with, and, such a loss might be as devasting for the daughters
as well, which would entail much consoling on my part.  Mmm...

Ahh, the handyman of the house... of course.

:-(  Yerk.  I know of such places where I work; I pity the groundsman, as
he struggles with a motorised pusher.

You are doubly blessed: the right equipment, and, the smarts to master the
task.  I applaud you.

And, this is the same mathematical theorem expounded by that brilliant
fellow in the first Jurassic Park movie?  ;-)

Cheers,
Paul.

... Gotta go... the orderlies are about to check my room!
