Well, we found out that a John Deere Zero turn riding mower is a big no no! Monday hubby went out to cut some grass, figured a riding mower was nice and easy, no problems.

He was on that thing from about 9 am to 2 pm, got lots of grass cut. Got off, felt bad. Figured it was the heat.

Had a check up the next day. They asked him what he did yesterday from 9 am to 2 pm. He played dumb for some reason. Oh nothing, just tinkering around. They replied with;
Well whatever you were tinkering around with shut your pacemaker down from 9 to 2. And then they went back over the past few weeks and sure enough everytime he cut the grass you could see where it shut down, went into safety mode or whatever its called.
After he finally confessed what it was they said it was the interference from the mower.

Also found out a weed-wacker and leaf blower are bad too. Unless he can actually manage to hold them at arms length to do the job.

On a side note, I find this part funny...kinda...but scarey...kinda.
When he used the mower he would carry a walkie talkie in case he needed me or I needed him.

He would be out there cutting, and hear a beeping noise and thinking it was me calling him, stop mowing, call me and ask what I wanted. I'd reply nothing. He would go back to mowing. A bit later he'd hear the beeping again. Again he'd call me.

Come to find out it was his pacemaker beeping...trying to warn him or whatever that it was going into safety or shut down mode.
