Afternoon check in....Just finished cutting the *&^%^&* gr*ss. I have a system which involves going down my driveway to the front, doing my front, going next door, then down that driveway to the small patch next door then across to my garage, I do that to weed whack, then mow, then blow and finally weed spray. Today, I'm on last step of killing weeds and look and see that I missed a 20 x 6 patch of *&^%^^&* gr*ss on my lawn, that's almost 25%. Go back,get the mower and while I'm doing that I see that I missed the whole area between the road and sidewalk next door.....I really shouldn't be doing anything that requires the least amount of thought when my head gets like it's been....

I think some extra effort is called for in this case.

Sounds like your options are limited to a meeting of the Democratic Party Policy Committee.

Pretty sure it doesn't work like that. You'll have the first five hard a steel and the second limp noodle. Hope this was what you were expecting
