Default mowing season is dumb

So......I mowed the lawn for the first time this year.....holly hell....7 inches high in some places! And my left arm won't stop shaking. Perhaps I should start working out during the winter season?

I just had this inspiration, influenced by your posts on "uglified" Volvos. This will greatly reduce the amount of work required for mowing:

1. Install lowering coil springs on your Volvo.
2. Attach a lawn mower on the bottom of your lowered Volvo.
3. Start the mower, then your Volvo.
4. Simply drive around in your lawn. Next thing you'll know, the mowing is done.
5. If someone asks you how you mowed your lawn, make sure to look cool and say, "I just Volvoed my lawn". What else could be cooler than this?

I'd better submit this to the Science magazine as a breakthrough on mowing[8D].

When I thought I was the pioneer....

BTW, the rain season in Asia (June to July/early Augustin general) is as dumb as mowing season.

Thank you for that.

BTW, mosquito/cockroach season is one of the dumbest.

Mosquito: Trained to fly around your ears when you're trying to sleep.

Cockroach: 0 to 60 in0.03 seconds, beating the world's fastest cars.
