Anyhoo, I used to absolutely loathe mowing, because I have a 1/2 acre (I know, not much) but I was hauling around 100' of electrical cord for my PLUG IN ELECTRIC mower for the last 2 years. This year I got me an early birthday present when I received a shiny new self-propelled gas mower. LOOOOOOOVE it!
I still don't like mowing, but it takes not even 1/3 of the time!
