I completely forgot about the lawn equipment side of things. I purchased a $350 self-propelled non-riding Honda lawn mower as "My First Lawn Mower" on recommendation from CR[0]. I have owned this thing for over a decade. I hate cutting the lawn. I hate maintaining things like this. In the decade I've owned it I have changed the oil once (the spring of the second year I owned it). I have never replaced the spark plug. Most years I forget to empty the gas before winter and the first gallon is a mix of gas from the previous year and new gas I've added to top it off. Every time I start it up for the first time, in the spring, with the half-bad-gas-mixture, I fully expect the thing is not going to start. It's never failed after the second or third pull, and after that it starts after the first every single time. I abuse the hell out of this thing and it keeps on working. My neighbor is on mower #3 this year. I laugh because I hear him running his down every fall and think in the back of my head "I should really do that" only to forget until the first snow falls. He's also there changing the oil in his driveway every spring. I'm sure he's gone through more spark plugs than me, too (the manual says to replace it yearly). [0] Once again, it wasn't the highest rated, but it was the best rated that I could afford.
