Lawn Mowers and Musicians
What the hell? Why not? Do you use a push mower,walk behind or riding tractor. How much horsepower do you prefer? Gas or Electric? Or, do you opt for a lawn care provider? My gods the conversation oportunities here are endless!!

I wait til code enforcement sends a threatening letter, then I borrow my brothers weedeater. I don't have much grass but I live on a fucking crazy steep hill. Nobody can even see my yard except th nosy old bitch next door, you know the one who calls code enforcement. If I wasn't so goddamned lazy I'd keep that shit at the maximum height allowed by law.

Hmmm well my grass will be huge this year since my now ex use to cut my grass , Im just gonna hope Aldo sees its a jungle and cuts it, or my son takes pity on me, or well Shawn(one of my best friends husband who lives beside me) might do it too, cuz you should see me trying to do it, its funny... Id say if you could only imagine but I know that you all can already do that, I embrace my girly blondeness

14hp Push Mower (There are 3 in the shed, no idea which make the working one is. Others are for parts if needed).
Electric weed whacker
Love to mow the lawn just hard to find the time. There wasn't much need last year.
Real problem is raking the leaves. So many trees in the backyard that it's perpetually dark.

18 hp. cub cadet 48" deck. i got a couple of acres takes about 2.5 hours not counting trim.
stihl weed wacker and chainsaw. i found as with most things, buy good shit and save yourself alot of money and heartache in the long run. my stihl stuff is one pull with the choke on and then a choke adjustment and it fires right up everytime. i don't know how many weedeaters i fired off trees and smashed on the driveway cuz they wouldn't start, till i bought the good stuff.
