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?
