The granddaughter turns 10 in a couple of weeks. She has expressed interest in taking over my time on the mower. It is 21hp Craftsman with hand control hydrostatic drive, so she should be good. Now we just have to wait for the ground to dry up.
It used to be dark green, but when I was addressing the surface rust, I got urged to do the light blue. At least I didn't have to paint it purple.
