Ice spudding is what I have been doing but the repetitive upper body movements knocks the cherry off my cigarette and burns my whiskers. Looking for an easier, softer way.

Check all the fluids and make sure the gas tank is full, that way when your son and his friend are operating it you won't burn your beard while directing from the chair. jim
