My husband went to Lowe’s for some weed wacker string the other day.
.

.
So of course he came home with a new $800 battery operated lawn mower.
.

.
Oh, it’s fancy.
.

.
Multi speed self propelled motor, dual blades, telescopic adjustable handle…
.

.
So fancy it took him 15 minutes to figure out how to start it.
.

.
There’s so much extra tech… it came with three instruction manuals.
And neon green mulching blades.
And a detachable cell phone carrier.
It even has a cup holder.
🥴
.

.
I told him it looked like a Tesla.
He was not amused.
.

.
There was a learning curve and it took him a little while to get used to it. But then he was off and running…
.

.
To he honest, I don’t think he loves it as much as he thought he would.
Not that he’d ever admit it.
😉
And no, He doesn’t push mow our whole back lawn. Just around the house, garden beds, barn and tighter spaces.
.
Snazzy! A detachable cell phone carrier & cup holder. I didn’t know those features were available on a push mower, will not be telling my husband. He doesn’t need to know what he’s missing.

Understood.
My mistake was letting the husband go shopping alone…

I have an eGo weed wacker and it’s great, especially the auto line feed. They make a riding mower that would be perfect for my rough terrain. Sadly, my present mower is a John Deere so I doubt I will be getting a new one anytime soon. Nice to be back.

He already has the EGO weed wacker, chain saw, and hedge trimmer.

Sorry to say, it does look like a Tesla, lol. Like how do you keep your grass so free and clear of weeds?! I mean I’m pulling damned weeds out of my yard on a daily basis. It’s those stupid goats head weeds and something that looks like round leaf weeds. I mean I can’t even grow grass but I sure can produce stinking weeds like crazy. And of course it’s been because of all the rain we’ve gotten, I’m so tired of them!

Oh, there are plenty of weeds in there, believe me. The dandelions are rampant, the creepy charlie drives me nuts and I think there’s more clover than grass. I just don’t take close ups.

I guess he has too much fun mowing to get a robot mower. Or is that next?

We mow almost 3 acres. It would have to be a really big robot….

We had that much to mow growing up in Washington state, plus some steep hills. My dad bought an International Tractor, pretty small-sized, not full size, to mow. That’s what I learned to drive on.

Oh lord, I was hoping he wasn’t gonna mow the whole property with that little thing! Men and their toys. BTW: your grass looks like it should be on the cover of a Lawn Magazine. (Do they have those? )

We used to call my husband the Lawn Ranger.
Down south he used to mow our neighbors’s lawns on both sides… so his didn’t look bad.

Looks pretty fancy. Dd he get the string for the trimmer?
I have a cup holder on my snowblower, but I had to mount it myself.
