Home and yard maintenance

I have a 1990 John Deere SRX95. It still runs as new.

I hate mowing the lawn so I'm STRONGLY considering a robo mower next.

What also irks me with all these electric tools is that you're stuck with tons of batteries and chargers lying around to manage. I have around 4-5 power tools for little projects and they're all Dewalt, which means 1 charger and 1 type of battery, which keeps things much tidier.

I bought the Dewalt hedge trimmer a few years ago which works great, I was shopping between that one and Stihl but ended up with Dewalt because I was already set up with the battery infrastructure.

I love mowing the lawn, so much so that I happy volunteer to mow at my parents' place if they're out of town. I find it mentally relaxing and it clears my mind, it's like there's nothing in the world but me, the mower, and the smell of fresh cut grass.

I hate mowing, it was fine when I had a smaller lot, but now I have about 2 acres of grass to mow, with lots of trees and other obstacles, it's awful. About an hour of riding on the zero-turn, 30 minutes with the trimmer, and other 15 with the leaf blower for cleanup. Easily a 2 hour job, on a good day. I mourn the lost time, but the cost to have someone do it is silly, and it'll never be done to my standard....Waiting on the boy to get old enough to drive the mower.

Electric stuff just shifts the maintenance from gas engine maintenance to battery maintenance. Charging, chargers, multiple batteries, etc, it's still annoying. I have gas everything, except a battery powered hedge trimmer, which I like because there's no cord, but if a gas unit was widely available I would've gotten one. When a gas engine isn't performing I can usually tweak things to make it perform properly...when a battery stops performing, you toss it out and buy another one.

I feel that way when I fish...and mowing the lawn pulls me away from that.

Began to enjoy mowing the lawn again once i started wearing my noise cancelling headphones while listening to music.  Adds a whole new dimension!
