Morning Buzz for Friday 2/29/08 - If you don’t like to mow your lawn… check this out!

It’s something you probably don't see every day (or maybe you have never seen)! A remote-controlled lawnmower.

This story comes to us from CBS affiliate KHOU in Houston, TX. I’ll show you the video this morning! The lawnmower can climb hills and work at some very steep angles. Its manufacturer says it can safely cut grass that's risky for an actual person to get to. The device is pretty pricey, though. The big ones cost about $40,000. They come in smaller sizes as well.

If I bought one of these mowers..I’d have to get Ashlee to come over and teach me how to play it..wink

Our yard doesnt have any dangerous areas..We took the John Deere tractor and box blade and graded it where it was easy to cut..and my wife bought me a brand new Cub Cadet mower..that thing has every feature you can imagine…including a beer holder..

I love cutting grass so I will have to pass on this one..I wasnt good at remote control cars..even worse at PlayStation..

My wife has alot of flowers..and even tho I can run alot faster “scared” than she can “mad”..I still dont want to put that kinda pressure on our marriage…at this time..smile

My first thought was how boring,, I like riding the lawn mower its very relaxing to me,,put my head phones on and just relax and get the job done all at once,,and really how lazy are we? all you hear about is the out of control obesity problem,and they come up with something like this. i could understand a handicap person needing something like that ,it would help them get outside and feel a sense of acomplishment.But for a healthy person,,come on,please get real,,

Thanks Donaa!  I had never thought about how good a product like this could be for those with disabilities.  I’m glad to know there is a good, legitmate purpose a machine like this could serve.

As for the rest of us, $40K will buy ALOT of back massages for those of us who prefer to mow our lawns with a good old fashioned push mower! 

Hmmm…should I get a new SUV or a radio controlled lawn mower?  The both cost the same! grin

You know..to be honest with you..I miss that clean smooth look that you can only get from a push mower..

But the truth is I like drinking beer…and pushing a mower would surely kill the buzz..not to mention all that sweating..and where would you mount a CD player on one of those things?

I’ll sacrifice the clean smooth look for my riding mower with all the goodies..the DUI cut aint all that bad..just a lil crooked..and I might miss a spot or two..but when you are driving by my house at 65 mph..what are the chances that you would even notice..wink

P.S. Donaa that was an awesome idea about people with disabilities..hadnt thought of that either..but glad you did and brought it up…Thanks!

Another post deleted. The shame. I just saw the TV13 truck over here in Marion. On site at the auto accident. It’s a mile from where I live. I started to stop and introduce myself but I was afraid someone would beat me up. Lots of people hanging around the bridge. Tragic situation.

I’m the same way Mookie..when I see Martha on location..I’m a lil uneasy..only cause I think she could take me..even sober I dont think I’d stand a chance..

I think your post got deleted cause you didnt put a capitol “M” on Mexicans…

..but then there could be other underlying reasons that I’m too afraid to go into.. cause I dont want to get deleted too..wink

I’ll prolly get deleted anyway..I spelled “capital”..as “capitol”..that is just too bad a mistake to leave on this blog…

Oh well..It aint like the first time I’ve been deleted..and it doesnt really hurt that bad..smile

LOL. I know what you mean Wolf.

It was tempting. Mackenzie was looking hot and had on Gamecock colors to boot. I spilled my beer all in my lap.
