re: If you don't stand outside and look at your lawn after you cut it, does it even count?

When I mow my yard I prefer a Dr. Pepper at the end

You sound like my neighbor, but he doesn't have the prettiest yard in the neighborhood. I do.

The smell of the freshly cut grass, cold beer. It's the small things at this point baws

Sure I do, After my lawn guy finishes I revel at the fruits of what my hard earned labor has provided me. I appreciate his labor and salute him with a nice burbon.

If you don’t have a battery powered push these days you are a cuck to gasoline. Had mine for 3 years never paid anything other than what I bought it for.

Human powered reel cutter is the way to go. Can be a real bear if you’re down to one inch and miss a few days though.
That smell is a rotary blade massacring your grass.

I took over yard cutting duties from my Dad when I was 10. Push mowed every yard I cut til last year. Turned 50 and said frick this. 40 years of push mowing yards in 100 degree heat is enough. Bought me riding mower and haven’t been happier. Still have the best lawn in my neighborhood. I take great pride in that shite and don’t think a riding mower takes away from that in the least.

I have a very mature and tall 8 year old that cut our yard last weekend for the first time ever. I let him cut it again yesterday and boy does it look like shite. He has alot to learn but he enjoys the hell out of it.

There’s something about cutting grass when the heat index is 105 or higher that is good for the body. Just don’t forget to replenish all the water and essential nutrients that you sweated out.

Its what men do, don’t worry about it.

Depends on the size of your lawn and type of grass if a reel mower works for you.

If you live in DSLD subdivision where the houses are so close together where if you fart in your house and the neighbors can smell it in their house, a reel mower may work for you since your yard is about the size of a preverbal postage stamp.

Also, grass type plays a part. The thick St. Augustine in my yard would laugh at a reel mower and would clog up with ease.

I plan on tackling this endeavor today with a push mower at about 1pm and 97 degrees. My yard is so beautiful once mowed backed up by the patch of woods that lets me think im still in the country even though in Jax . Here's to all the guys that are still push mowing in the heat.
