The biggest problem with aging is that from time to time Mother Nature feels the need to remind us that getting old sucks, like the morning I got up and finally figured out that I was blind in my right eye. This happened at 4:00 am on a Sunday morning and I found that ophthalmologists have a real good firewall built around themselves and E.R. docs don't do eyes. Finally late morning of the following Monday a.m. I got in to see an ophthalmologist who found that I'd had a retinal artery occlusion. This is like having a stroke except it's in the eye rather than the brain and there is nothing they can do about it.

This makes it tough backing my B7800 because the ergonomics pretty much require you to back up a mower looking over your right shoulder. You have to be very careful and often don't get the quality of cut you would prefer. It also really messes up your depth perception and sense of balance.So declining skills are a part of aging but Mother Nature is a much bigger problem.

I bet Sunday was a long day for you.

Not a bushhog although I ended up using it as that in fields. It's best there in the open. Ripped the baton off the garage first time out.
