New home improvement toys

What cruel games nature plays on us. As I look out on the deck I see 6 inches of snow covering the deck and all our patio furniture. So much for doing yard work yesterday while Lynsey is in Chicago.

On the bright side though, it gave me a chance to make that long awaited purchase of one of these. And of course I couldn’t be with out one of these either.

I never thought I was much into the aesthetics of functional equipment. I mean who cares what color the wheels are. Well, it did yesterday. For all practical purposes last years models and this years models do the same job. But this year they decided to change to the color of the wheels to this really ugly yellow. A yellow so bad that I didn’t even want it in my garage. Something tells me they were trying to mimic another famous green and yellow combination. Take it from me, Sears should leave it to the experts at John Deere. They have this soothing green and yellow combination that is timeless and should be unchallenged. So needless to say, I have the much nicer looking green with gray wheels model decorating the corner of the garage.
