I’m thoroughly pissed off.
Every time today that I’ve been about to go outside and mow my small lawn, it’s started to rain or hail or both.
Using an electric mower in the rain is not a good idea.
Grrr!
Could be worse - could have a completely brown lawn like all of us in NE Ohio.
Well, brown grass and plenty of healthy weeds. Allergen-ridden weeds.
achoo!
So, you’re pitting an excellent excuse not to engage in work? 
I’d rather pit the damn sun in California, which never gives me an excuse not to mow.
I’m trying to sell my house. Having a neat lawn helps.
So is this technically a pit against Mother Nature?
Its not nice to pit Mother Nature… 
Put in a zen rock garden. Charge more.
Not mine. It’s green and lush, because I’ve had to water it every day, under the instructions of the hortoculturalist that seeded it last fall, so I can get some pesky bluegrass to finally germinate. However, he came by to overseed Friday before last, and told me “don’t cut the lawn for two weeks.” So now, despite being green, it’s also growing to the point where it makes my house look abandoned.
Ya’ll need to mow your durn lake. It’s becoming an eyesore. 
I feel your pain. However, my reason for being unable to mow my lawn is that I can’t get the damn thing started. Oh, I prime it…Yes, I throw all 115lbs of me behind the yank. Yes, it “feels like” 115 degrees with 80% humidity. Yes, my house is for sale. No, I can’t start the damned thing and I’m too worn out from yanking even if it did ultimately start. (FTR, it is an “easy start” model and self-propelled.
I told my husband when we sell this house, all I want to get for my next house is a lawn mower that I can actually start.
Jar lids, heavy boxes and lawn mowers are what keep most guys useful. Ok, a few other things, but honestly. wtf is the deal with lawn mowers?
How nice it would be to live in a country where people can afford lawns.
Yes, it costs about a $10,000 a year to maintain one. :rolleyes:
I misread this as *alcohol. After a few stiff ones, you won’t notice the lawn. (The allergies I can’t promise about.)
You can send me some damned rain and we’ll both be happy.
I’ve got the same problem, except it’s a bad battery. We’ve purchased the new battery, but we (meaning “he”) hasn’t installed it yet. Luckily, my lawn’s rate of growth is stunted due to drought. It’s still green because we have loads of trees, but it’s slow-growing this year. The last coupla storms gave it just the kick it needed, so I’m going to have to go into battle within the next few days.
Finally got round to mowing my lawn yesterday - I’d been away for quite a time and the weather has been bizarre since I’ve been back:- warm, often sunny but with just enough thundery downpours to stop things ever totally drying out
My lawn looked like some school ecology experiment - quite pretty actually, with the grass seeding and a surprising variety of plants flowering happily
But I wasn’t prepared for the grasshoppers - as I walked to the shed to get the poxy little mower out there was a strange beige bow-wave in front of my feet -thousands of grasshoppers, mostly tiny, leaping.
The bow-wave continued in front of the mower - I hate to think of how many died grisly deaths
I finally got to cut the hedge too - and there’s a certain manly pleasure to be had from running a mower over woody hedge clippings, even better than putting melon skins down a waste disposal
Small clue:-TokyoPlayer Location: Tokyo
I’m guessing he’s in Japan
