Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

I have to cut these 4 times a year. it takes me about an hour to cut 90. with that different cutter it will take ~15 minutes each time. I have to cut 50 for my puppy 7 times a year.

Maybe it's just e-mowers and manual mowers that require twice-weekly mowing.

Central Air, but we have three units:

1. Master bed and bath
2. Upstairs living areas and kids' beds/baths
3. Downstairs living areas and guest bed/bath

First world problem.

We did have AC when I was a ute (not savages like rjones28 ), but to use it less (save $$$) my parents sometimes ran a window fan in the morning/evening when it was cooler outside than inside. It helped, somewhat.

Depends. Grass grows more when it's well watered. But this time of the year even twice a week is too much for me.

I'd rather let it grow long and need to make 2 passes once a week than mow 2X a week in this the hot time of the year.

did it suddenly start making screeching noises at start up? If so it's probably a capacitor. $20 part plus labor.
