What in the **** took me so long?
For me it's this... 
I was mowing today and was thinking about it.
My yard used to take a day to a day and a half to mow and I hated it. Because of that, part of what took me so long was because I waited so long. I'd have to stop every 12 feet to empty the bag. I was tired, sore (I'm naturally lazy  ), and generally frustrated for what I felt was wasting the day away.
Now it takes about an hour to an hour and a half and I actually enjoy doing it. I bought it a year ago, but I still remember how miserable I was. At the time, I just didn't want to spend the money on it, but man has it ended up paying for itself.
I realize things like this all the time... Ever happened to you?

Now just be safe using it.

I just can't believe I waited as long as I did before buying one.
There has to be others who've picked up some stuff that have made their lives better, easier, or much more enjoyable then they thought it would and wondered how they went so long without it...

But the answer is usually because I had no money to buy it before.

Finally bought a cheap one.... and use it all the time. I wish I had bought one earlier and I wish I had bought a more powerful one. |

You simply have too much yard with nothing there but grass.
Installing a swimming pool would be even cooler.
Big yard, whole day mowing =  no thanks!

Car Radio this weekend. I haven't had one since November and I finally couldn't stand it anymore. Just in time for my summer classes commute too.
