I’m surprised like your neighbors.
it’s been years since I used a mower. Used to do my yard and after getting fed up with a weed eater and throwing it to the other end of the yard, I decided to get someone to do the work so I wouldn’t have to cut grass on the very few days off I had at work. I no longer work 70+ hrs a week, but still let someone else cut my grass. If I get a large property one day (that’s my dream) I’ll get a riding mower or tractor if it’s big enough piece of land.
I find it relaxing....even the trimming is somehow satisfying....I’m surprised like your neighbors.
Remember I bought my Hayabusa as a used bike and only paid $5k for it...
Is Canadian grass like Florida grass as fas as growth? Rainy season means cutting grass weekly down here.
I'm cutting twice a week right now...
......I paid $8k for the tractor....
H.O.L.E.
It stands for hole but in a hard, linear way....like in a whole pile of rain....a whole pile....if you stand outside with no weather protection you will look as if you took a shower with all your clothes on type of rain...
Go team yellow!
6hrs?!! If did that here in Florida, I would probably have to be picked up by ambulance due to heat stroke.
It’s Winter here now but Summers get pretty warm in Australia too!
I grew up on a farm...if it was hot, we worked...I recall the haying season was almost unbearable but we somehow kept working...it was especially hot up in the hay mow.
It’ll be 14 years this summer for me working outdoors. I do have an office and don’t spend as much time in the heat as before, but still have to change clothing at times due to sweat just to keep myself from getting sick by constantly walking in and out of an air conditioned building with wet clothing. The problem here is the high humidity and process requires us to keep equipment at 195’F, so is like an inferno. I agree with you, after being exposed to it for a couple of weeks to acclimatize, is more tolerable and less likely to get hurt, as long as, you keep hydrated and take breaks. We stopped allowing the “big shots” to take walks around the facility, because they came from the headquarters up north one summer and one of them passed out from heat since his body was not used to this. We also time tasks for cooler parts of the day to reduce the chance of heat related illnesses. Interesting fact (at least to me it is) sometimes we take piping apart really early in the morning and have to wait until the next morning to reassemble, because it won’t go back together once temperature gets above 100’F due to expansion.
