It's that time of year again...my grass is literally growing inches every day. Almost lost the dog yesterday in a section I haven't mowed yet this year. :D Do you like mowing the lawn or hate it? I love any excuse to start up a noisy engine...I used to have a Briggs V twin with straight pipes on my push mower. :p

I used to, when I had 3/4 acre and could get mowing and trimming done in 1.5hr. Now it stinks. I have 1.5 acres and if I haul keister, I can usually get done in 3.25hrs....

Re: Do you enjoy mowing the lawn?

I totally detest it , I enjoy how it looks when finished, I dont mind the weed eating thing, and shrub trimming is ok. But the mowing sux, probably because im allergic to grass clippings. I hate the snot blowing and benadril hangover that comes with it. But its been my job for the last 38 years. Ever wonder why nobody else can figure that out? when I had my neck surgery and was in a neck brace for months, I still had to mow, when they ripped me open and replumbed my ticker I still mowed. Is my family just stupid or what. I probaly have had help mowing maby 10 times in the last ten years. :( <br /> I think you have struck a nerve I didnt know I had. ;) :D

I love it!!!!!<br /><br />I have a magnetic can holder on the side of the lawn mower. Its an excuse to sit there, listen to the radio, and drink a beer.................so what if I have to turn the wheel every once in awhile.

It is fun to watch the neighbors fight like children as the wife tries to tell her husband exactly how she wants the lawn mowed. It took him 5 hrs. to do less than a 1/2 acre last weekend. I would have thrown her under the mower if she pulled that carp on me, but you can't buy entertainment like that. ;)

Sanger, just had to resume the duties when Boomyal Jr headed off to college last fall. He had taken over the responsibility for the previous eight years. You are correct! It blows chow. :D Two thirds of an acre, minus the house footprint and planters. :mad:

I have thought of killing it, hauling in rocks and painting them green, If it werent for the heat off the rocks in the summer I probably would have.

Only when it's not 100 degrees outside with 80% humidity.Which means that in summer down here ,you gotta mow early.And I do hate mowing early cause the dang grass is dewy.Otherwise,I kinda like it. :) <br />Then there's those dang skeeters. :mad:

That must be the answer to another thread about lights on a lawnmower.Just hook a sketer fogger to the exhaust.

Did the fogger thing a few times in the past.It killed very skeeter in the area.For about 10 minutes.Then the wind blew it away. :( Some of these skeeters down here will beat the pi$$ outa you if they see you hangin a malathion tank. :D
