With my retrofitted electric mower, I don't get headaches anymore and I don't have the noticeable oily film on my skin afterwards. I enjoy cutting the grass now!

Plus, I don't know about you guys, but my mowers only last at most 3 years, so an electric mower with a good battery pays for itself. Plus as a gas engine ages, they produce more and more emissions, burn oil, etc.

Here is an article about 1 hour of cutting grass is equal to 100 mile car ride.

I can't remember the thread but I have mentioned the 15 largest ship thing as well... pretty crazy huh.

hehe, if I had 5 acres of grass to mow I'd get a nice ride-on mower with a beer holder. I've mowed my fair share as a kid, of 5acres is way too much.

Maybe I'd just get some goats. IDK. Let them work eating the grass during the day, and then rent them out to the preverts at night. Mo Money, Mo Goats, No Grass, No Problem. :P


That's what the Cali org should have done (minus the goat pimping) Goats are biodegradable, renewable and easier to recycle anyway.
Could have then fed the goats to the unemployed people going hungry and saved some money on the food stamps.
