Got to be nuts to allow that much grass to grow! When a early teenager,
I
had to cut about an acre of lawn. Grandparents farm, and the
temperature in
the central valley of Calif would be around a 100 degrees. sometimes
they
ran the cows for a while to shorten it, but came down to "Billy, go cut
the
grass".

Did you use a steam powered lawn mower?

Nope, electric for a while. Grandpa converted a push mower to electric by
rigging an electric motor to it. We have smart people in my family, unlike
some. Later a gas rotary mower. Worked much better on the Bermuda Grass.

Yeah, sure. Smart people, huh? Did they believe a 35 horsepower
snowmobile would go 80mph, also? Did they believe that a yard of
concrete weighs 2 tons?
