I hate gardening, and  smo...  cutting grass  is  was top of my hate list.  As my chocolate starfish has never been excessively tight (shut up Splinter), during my tenure with the ex, I mastered the avoidance of subcontracting chores that I could undertake as it gave me the opportunity to buy some great tools, and I carry that belief on today... though that "I could do" list is ever decreasing. 
In Richmond (Melbourne I had to do a lot of soul searching not to buy a ride-on for my lavish football field,

as I would have had issue turning it around without a zero-turn.
When I bough into my primitive, double block in downtown Churchill, the purchase of the Toro ride-on

even took preference to organising the workshop and clearing the blocked dunny,
Call me old fashioned, but I still care for you human beans inhabiting my planet and I upgraded my petrol guzzler for the environment friendly cordless zero-turn,
You sit on your lazy rrrs in your patio drinking vino and pretend you are happy, while I sit on my ride-on and drink my vino... a few vinos and I get to chase pedestarians on it and boom-boom the bjesus out of the worms below... exercise!... but I do draw the line at edge trimming... the pain I endured doing it, I'm now passing on by posting this thread.

If your first cut is too short... Take the second cut from the longer end... LBD
