I'd worked myself nearly to death by the time I was 62. I don't want to
finish the job on anything so futile as doing the work of a machine.

When we moved into our new house, we found that the previous owners had gone
a bit OTT with vigorously spreading conifers around the garden. I had to
prune or even cut down some of them. Having tried a bow saw (which the
previous people left) and a tenon saw, both of which kept binding in the
wood, I bought a battery-powered chainsaw. I know which of those three I'd
prefer to use ;-)
