Rototillering has happened.
The first machine didn't work. So he agreed to return it and hopefully get a new model. They agreed. He came back, new one worked!
Found out the hose attachment is leaking. After a single year? Bah fucking annoying.
He returned the machine and they gave him a discount cause the first was factually broken. Wheee! He was paid in candied jalapeños, brownies, and once the month changes, money and a jar of chili.
