It would not be a good idea to put me in charge of the motor, however. This week my lawn mower destroyed itself from a lack of crankcase oil! And I knew it was low! Fortunately I bought it used last year, and did not like it that much anyway. The self-propelled feature was too weak to be of significant help. Time to shop for a repacement today.
The other notable event of the week was the departure yesterday of our youngest son for Seattle. He and his girlfriend, who already lives and works there as a social worker, left in a fully loaded U-Haul truck bound for the great Northwest. We will miss him.
