The sounds of summer.  Sunny Sunday afternoons and electric mowers ??? 

Our newer next door neighbor moved in late 2017 and the following year got a regular old and EXTREMELY  *LOUD* mower someone gave him.  I actually never minded when people were mowing off in the distance,  you could be on the deck and catch a nap.

But Oh God an hour plus of you can't hear yourself think.  Well last year the 30ish guy bought a whisper quiet electric mower.....it was amazing,  you would see him walking up and back.....virtually no noise.   Now it does NOT cut like a gas guzzler, he can't mow the damp lower part of his yard but.....no noise.

Would you get one ? Maybe if your gas guzzler died ?  Never ?

Back to summer sounds,  I used to have an old hammock down by our garden under a tree, put the radio on Indians with Hammy, a nice cold beer......and fall asleep.   What could be better  ?

My wife thinks I'm nuts for waiting for temps to rise some in the late morning before I go out to mow with my little Honda. I'm not happy unless it's 80 or higher outside because I don't mind sweating off a few pounds every week from Spring through Fall. I tell her it keeps me in shape to play racquetball in the afternoons. LOL!😁

I have an electric mower, and while more quiet than gas, it still makes noise.
