My buddy Gary called the other day all excited. He said, "Come on over. You've got to see this. You won't believe your eyes!" Well, for once I was glad I dragged myself over there. I get out and there's Gary in the back yard with some kind of remote controlled toy. So I thought.

Seems Gary was now the proud owner of a Husqvarna Auto Mower . This thing looked like something out of Star Wars . It's wandering around his backyard -AND IT"S MOWING the danged yard!

Well, if you don't think your neighbors are keeping a watchful eye on you; buy one of these things. Soon a couple of Gary's neighbors have made their way over. Now that Gary had a proper audience, He was ready to explain how this little wonder works.

A boundry wire keeps little R2D2 from mowing the neighbors yards. So, no you can't borrow it Franklin. The Auto Mower cuts in a random pattern. It just wanders around the backyard like it owns the place. It cuts under bushes and shrubs. Even has crash sensors to let it know if it's getting too close to something.

The Auto Mower cuts the grass with 3 little cutting blades on a disk. Does a good job too! It only cuts a little at a time but who cares! It runs for about and hour before its battery starts to become run down. Gary was waiting for this.

You see the danged Auto Mower has a computer brain and knows when it needs to be recharged! It quietly wandered over to its little charging station, got itself all charged up and returned to mowing Gary's backyard. R2D2 was the only one doing any work!

Unfortunately, there is one small problem with the Auto Mower .Gary's front yard is real unlevel. So he has to get his wife to mow it.
