[QUOTE="Duckslayer100, post: 110534, member: 1485"] My grandfather is 95. Living in a retirement home in northern Minnesota. Let's the relatives know whenever he can how miserable he's been since he was convinced to leave his home on Lake McCormack of the last 50 years. After all, it was paid off! Now he's paying every month to be with other people he doesn't like. How cheap is grandpa? He figured out it was better in the long run to buy the cheapest lawn mower he could find new, do no maintenance on it, and run it until it blew. I'll be darned if he didn't get 5-10 years out of everyone of those bastards. All he put in was gas in the summer and a splash of Sta-Bil in the winter. I thought he was nuts, but if he got 10 years out of a $150 mower and never changed the oil, it cost him a whopping $15 a year to own that mower. Grandpa isn't as crazy as I thought. [/QUOTE]
