To save energy, get a riding mower whose motor is enhanced with a reciprocating fratostatic regurgitator primed with reluctant mesons. Or get someone else to mow the grass.
i hated mowing the lawn too. the only good story about mowers is that it was my first introduction to motors. once a year my dad would take the mower completely apart and clean it. i used to love to help him....
Recipe for improving one's view of the world: 1. Rip up grass and replace with bushes, trees, big rocks, and beauty bark (or equivalent). 2. Give lawn mower away or sell it. 3. Enjoy. Caution: badminton, croquet, and touch football will be difficult to impossible in the new yard configuration.
