MY NEW LAWN MOWER SHOWED UP!!!!

I have to go pick it up from Sears, but it's a 22" 190cc rear drive self-propelled with the big ass wheels in the back and a variable-speed drive system and push-button start. I'm starting to geek out here.

The old one (just slightly less in features) served us well, lived outside its entire life, and seems to have a bent drive shaft from an incident with a nylon rope. It still runs, but the blade's a little dodgy. With the new one, I'll get a chance to rebuild the old one and maybe sell it to a neighborhood kid.

The spring weather has got the grass close to my knees now. A new lawn mower to tackle it sounds perfect.
