rolling the lawn

[reynoldston]

Its that time of year again. Roll the lawn. I don't like mowing and the only thing worst is rolling the lawn. Way too slow and boring. Just back and forth at a very slow speed. Most people on this forum enjoy using the lawn tractor but to me I prefer repairing them not operating them. I think it come from when I was young and living on the farm, I got that from ruining a farm tractor every day all day long. It was a job back then that lasted 10 hrs or more a day. I couldn't get away from the farm fast enough to get into the repair business.

I guess you could buy a condo and rent a storefront shop. That should eliminate your lawn care woes. :laughing:

Now that would be my idea and would do it in a flash, BUT my other haft won't have anything to do with it. Believe me I have brought it up more then once but that brings up some disagreements that you wouldn't want to hear about. My idea would be rent a apartment and a small garage. I don't want to be a land owner too many problims, Taxes, and people that want to hunt on my land.

I love seat time. Either on a mower or a tractor. I'll agree the slow goin on the tractor can get boring but I just get in the "zone" and enjoy.
I rarely get tired of mowing. I mow alot of large areas(multiple acres) and I consider mowing them an art. And its instant gratification. Once done I look back and say damn that looks nice!

Now for me to get into a zone would be on a twisty road on my Harley on a nice summer day in the Adirondack mountains of NY going about 60+ MPH. To me it is like riding a roller coaster it gives you some excitement. Mowing the lawn is a boring job I have to do once a week. We all enjoy different

Are you serious? Animals have to be cared for and I already have one cat which is one too many. In my younger years I raised pigs, cattle, and had a horse. As I remember they all involved a lot of work and the horse was the most expensive. It was a full time job finding hay and going after hay. Now if a person had a lot of land and equipment to raise there own feed I could see doing it if that is what you want. I don't want any part of it seeing I am not a animal lover. They stink and make a big mess, NO thank-you

a cat should be able to look after itself and earn his keep by catching mice,if it can't it aint worth keeping.
I was just joking about the goat and the tatonka ,but Bison takes the least amount of work and daily expenses of all farm animals.
I rather deal with animals than with people,an animal is 100% honest and never complaines,..can't say that with people.:tongue:

Might it be that you carry yer nose to close to your ***:laughing:

In truth, I zone out mowing too. Having been indoctrinated into the use of hearing protection during my Navy career, I put on the "mickey mouses", fire up the mower and it's just me, the mower, and the lawn. Escapism without leaving the yard. Twisty roads in my Focus SES with modified suspension and sticky tires is a good time too if my girlfriend isn't with me. She has back problems and the "rollercoaster" ride is actually uncomfortable for her.

***:laughing:

I can see you don't know very much about cats. Frist of all if you just let a cat run out side to catch mice its not going to live long in my neighbor hood. Frist it is going to get fleas and ticks. If it can live with the fleas and ticks it will get killed in the road or the coyotes / neighbors will kill it. Now this cat needs fresh food, water and cat litter every day. This cat needs a good brushing once a week or your house is full of cat hair. A bag of cat food is 15 dollars and a bag of cat litter a good 5 dollars. I even have to pay for my water. Then on top of it all the vet charges a 100 dollars a year for a physical and shots.
