A lawn chair? That's a level of commitment I wasn't ready for. My neighbor's cat just glares from under a bush. This one has its own dedicated seating for judging your weeding technique. It probably has notes.

inShowerthought: I spent $80 on a 'competition style' injection marinade that ruined a whole pork shoulder
Yeah, sean_miller88 is right about them being mostly salt. I tried one of those fancy competition injections on a brisket once and it came out like salty pot roast, totally wrecked the bark. Now I just use beef broth with a little Worcestershire and garlic powder for my injections. Keeps it moist without making it mushy.
