Cutting the cord?

Seriously thinking about it ... been watching TV only via OTA now for almost 2 decades ... no broadband Internet either ... don't miss 'em really.

Still have a "cord" tho' ... and I now have a VERY small lawn these daze and that's OK too ... do I really need to Mow anymore?

This thread has nothing to do with Mow, Moe, or Mohs in general ...

Now somebody post a pic of the P. Bunny

The guy in our area that bought the very first 944 in Oklahoma owned a landscaping company. His front yard looked like a plant nursery, and his back yard looked like a city park. Lots of various levels and bushes and flowering plants, and a large Koi pond. He did show clients his yard as sample of his work.

He kept one tiny patch of Fescue grass the same size as the foot print of his lawnmower. In the summer once per week he would roll it over to the grass, start the mower, and then shut it off, phew done. He did not have to move the mower, just start it. He would buy a new mower with company money, use it for one season, or even less time if the mowing crew destroyed another mower. He always got the new mower to break in in properly for the was his excuse.

Wait, when you say "no broadband Internet"...? So does that mean that your only source of Internet is via a smart phone? Or...??

^^^^ If I lose my phone, or the battery dies, then PPOT bots will never see any of my "pearls of wisdom" posts

If there ever was one

I can't keep up with AI ... nor do I intend to even try ....

Snip?

I think I have officially cut the cord. I do have T Mobile wireless internet. I also have a laptop plugged into the TV. I can watch 100 premium channels from the internet and stream it from the laptop to the TV . Just set this up a few days ago but last night I watched the Daytona races and it worked fine.
