Birthday Surprise

I am not much one for birthday surprises. When the surprise is that the handle for my Black and Decker CMM1200 cordless mower snaps loose, its little pivot pin skittering away into the grass, so that the fully-charged mower stops dead, the surprise is particularly unwelcome. Another failure of design, I think.

This is where you think 'these things always break just when you need them', the illogic of that statement not only not occurring to you, but being particularly repellent when it does occur to you.

Happy Birthday!
