tbh, my first thought was “oh that’s terrible” and my second thought was “maybe he was drunk?”. It’s also possible he had some kind of medical emergency and couldn’t stop for some reason.
I think for some people it’s like a form of meditation, especially for those with a big lawn and a riding mower. I don’t personally get it, but that’s the vibe these guys give off.
Had a friend and his wife move in with us for a short time as they were moving to our city for a new job. They offered to help with chores and whatnot around the house, and he specifically mentioned he could help with yard work. I told him in no uncertain terms that that was my “me time” and he was to never intrude on that again. He chuckled knowingly.
Yup, I had a friend crash with us for a bit to get back on his feet and I had the exact same convo with him. Nah dawg, you can do the dishes… yards mine.
at 76 with a reasonable amount of wealth under his belt, I’m surprised he was even mowing his own lawn
“Now why would anybody do drugs when you can just mow a lawn?” - Hank Hill
On one hand, yep.
On the other, I usually blaze one before I start on my yardwork / landscaping.
Getting high and driving slowly in circles is the best. I miss my riding mower but do not miss having a yard that required one.
I bet, but I’ve only got a 1/4 acre, so I just push mow. Still makes a relatively relaxing task even better, though lol.
Is this how he ended up in a pool? Lol

Blaze it Raze it Praise it

ok so there’s mowers you actually ride,… this makes a lot more sense
For others it is a means of escaping their family for an hour or so.
My wife’s parents have a decent plot of land and always go out for a mow when they’re bored of us. I guess it’s better than staring at their phones.
Lots of people love maintaining a yard or garden. It’s not work to them. It’s a hobby.
100% agree. I love putting on headphones and mowing my lawn. Somehow it’s relaxing. Shoveling snow, different story…
I get it. We can easily afford someone to come mow our lawn but that’s quiet me time that I need so I’d much rather do it myself.
Quiet? On a motorized lawn mower?
My noise cancelling headphones work great and my mower’s electric. It’s not loud at all.
But I’m mostly saying “quiet” to mean being away from other people
