Jeeze, for 2400 + tax I could have a killer riding mower and enjoy some outside time. Though, the idea of never even thinking about making time to mow grass is tempting....

This is only for one of our schemes for containment. . .

BTW, the company name is iRobot. One of our indoor floor cleaners is called the "Roomba". :-)

Can it whine like a teenager when they are asked to mow?

I don't need a robot lawn boy. My wife cuts the grass while I'm drinking and playing golf.

Could you share the secret of how you managed that with the rest of us?

      Day 24 (4 Dec 25) - Spent about an hour working with the new 55° wedge in the backyard.  Kept all shots to under 20yds.  Big focus - not decelerating thru downswing and keeping speed up with abbreviated backswing.  Nothing like hitting a low flighted chip with plenty of check spin and then purpose to float a pitch of similar distance.

      Day 114 12-4 Put some work in on backswing, moving the hips correctly, then feeling over to lead side. Didn't hit any balls was just focused on keeping flowy and moving better. I'll probably do another session tonight and add in some foam balls.

      Didn't say anything about your understanding in my post.  Well, if you are not insisting on alignment with logic of the WHS, then no.  Try me/us. What do you want from us then?? You are not making sense. You come here and post in an open forum, question a system that is constructed with logic, without using any of your own and then give us a small window of your personal experience to support your narrative which at first sight does not makes sense.  I mean, if you are a point of swearing then I would suggest you cut your losses and humor a more gullible audience elsewhere. Good heavens.
