ACCORDING TO

A recent study, mowing actually relieves stress.

Now, I could have cited the study, could have given credence to it, but there are so many studies these days and so many conflicting reports on this and that, well why bother?

Do I buy it? No. Mowing was just the opposite for me.

From hand pushing the old non-power kind, to racing my speed Gravely rider around our huge yard, I ran the gamut of mowing. And the gamut of getting mowers to mow.

Briggs and Stratton is the only kind. Right. Gravely, Wheelhorse, Kuboda, Sears, it didn't matter. I couldn't get any of them to run efficiently for me. Plus, I found out you have to add oil. You have to clean the air filter from time to time.

What's wrong with not sharpening the blade? Isn't that what sticks in the yard are for?

As you can tell, mowing was stressful for me. There was always something I'd rather have been doing. The task wasn't all that bad. But I never remember courting off the days until I got to mow again either.
