Fairly Odd Neighbors

Appropriately Posted on Earth Day
  With .99 acre of ground grass you'd think there would be compelling reason to NOT replace the deceased gas pushmower with this Fiskars model.
  Especially when the euphemistic term for the condition of the ground is "rolling," and it's kind to say that the length of said grass SOMETIMES gets away from us.
  And a gas mower could've been had for fifty bucks less.
  BUT
  i can do a row or two with this  more often than i can go out with the gas mower, what with suiting up (long sleeves & long pants; hat, ear, &  breathing protection; cleanup; waiting for the mower to cool down after i've recovered from the half row - yep, outta shape)
  AND Max is pleased to take his turn with this, while we couldn't get him outside when the noisy mower was going.
  Actually, he's mowed more often than Boom since we've had this, which is not to be confused with having covered more ground.
  We may yet need to buy another power mower.  It would be cool to have a rider for this mini estate.  And we may need to hire someone occasionally for when it gets away from us.
  But if the neighbors can still stand us, we think it's the right decision for now.
  An extra worker and no two gallons to get the job done - sounds like a good deal.
Max takes a turn
