Tell her that you're not mowing, but that you are a NASCAR driver in training........just remember that you always have to go counterclockwise.

But I have a digital watch???

Turn left. Go fast. Turn left. Go fast. Repeat over and over. Good times!

Well it turns out not to be the mower itself but the old fart trying to do up keep on it. Dropped a new battery in this evening and it started first turn of the key like usual. So now I have it where it starts good, runs good, cuts good, bags so-so, and the wife is firmly saying I can not cut the grass any more and we have to hire it done.

So if I am reading this correct; all I have to do is screw up enough, the wife wants to pay someone to do it? Hmm?

Sounds about right.

I’m liking this plan a lot! It’s only 3 acres, shouldn’t cost much?

We used to live on 5 acres with a pond. If a person didn't mow for two hours four evenings a week after work, one got to mow for 8 hours on Saturday. A lot of slowing that process was mowing the backs of the pond. Wife refused to watch me mow when I headed out that way to mow. She didn't like me mowing those slopes.

EDIT: That was supposed to be "mowing the banks of the pond." The "back" of the pond, meaning the downstream side of the dam had to be mowed with a string trimmer. I hated trying to stand on that slope and operate that trimmer.

Real race cars don't turn left.

Or right.

And they run far more than 1/4 mile.
