Lawn Mower Nirvana

I have found lawn mower Nirvana!! Lowe's carrys it for $99.00. It's a non motorized light weight mower that makes it fun to mow without the noise and cost of using gas, while giving you a good work out and best of all, its something positive we can do for the environment!!

My old gas lawn mower, took all bumps and rock scalping it could handle. The starter still worked, but you couldn't get it to quit running unless you took a screw driver to the spark plug and grounded it out. It was loud, even with ear plugs! Yesterday, all of a sudden I was pushing, but she wasn't going. Her engine still churning pumping out smokey fumes. Her right front wheel laid beside her in the grass. Her frame had a gaping hole on that side. I ran to get the screw driver in the barn to cut it off. I was only half done,with a half acre left. A friend had told me about buying a light weight mower that mowed like a dream. I bought the 16"
blade and mowed the half acre around the yurt in about an hour. I love this mower and I want to share a way to reduce our gas consumption, get exercise have fun and do a weekly chore all at the same time. Cheers!!
