A redneck moves from the trailerhood to the suburbs for a little patch of dirt to call home and set up an as much as possible self sufficient lifestyle. Some things will go better than planned, others worse. Hopefully, most will at best be somewhere in between.

Mowers
I always though electric lawn mowers were for "Save the Planet" dweebs and geeks. Well, I am now a dweeb and/or geek. Since I moved, I have bought 2, count them, TWO gas powered mowers. I have used only ethanol free gasoline in them... Neither has lasted a full cutting season. So
I decided to try electric. I won't mention the brand name, I'll just say that it is the ugliest shade of piss green/yellow in the world.
I am happy with my ugly electric mower! A charge will cut either my whole front and some back or whole back and some front. No more pulling on the wretched cord for longer than I actually mow, it is SO quiet that I can actually think while I work... At first I thought about buying a spare battery so one could charge while I use the other but the battery recharges faster than I do.
It doesn't cut a wide swath but so long as I don't let the grass get knee deep it does just fine & dandy by me. So don't be afraid of your neighbors thinking you a dweeb or geek. Consider an electric mower. Hey! My weed eater is electric and so is my chainsaw.
Maybe I'm a 3 time dweeb and/or geek.
