[QUOTE="Snattlerake, post: 4119980, member: 44288"] I grew up farming almost 1,000 acres and absolutely hated going round and round a field. So, what did I do? I became a cop going round and round the city. Sure I could take small trips to the airport and back, checking the runway lights at night and blowing out the cobs. I could choose my own routes throughout the town and still feel I covered most of it in 8 hours. After twenty years, I knew several towns like the back of my hand. I retired and went to work for a major company and was either driving or flying all over the U.S. for them. I almost longed for the days I could go home at night. After retiring again, I really enjoy mowing my meager little piece of ground with my Husqvarna rider. When I started on this piece of property, it had great big trees and no grass so the dust cloud I created mowing the weeds and what little grass I did have made me feel as if I was farming again and embarrassed me because the neighbor's cars downwind were covered in dust. After the ice storm about ten years ago, I got rid of all the trees. For years I dug up roots and planted grass and watered and waited. Now, finally, I have the nice lush green carpet of grass I have always dreamed about. I wait until the cool morning temperatures then put on my shades, my radio earphones, fill it with gas, check the oil, and spend an hour in complete bliss going round and round my field.
