First Day

Monday was the first day on the job. The mower worked well as it has been in the shop in order to sharpen the blades. Stopped by Thirtieth Century in order to get this picture taken.

In other news, for anyone that thinks this concept is a foray into the absurd, they are mistaken :)

Mowing ones lawn with a reel mower is beneficial for the lawn. Instead of ripping the grass with a fan type mower, the reel mower blades simply clip the ends of the grass. Its sort of like getting a haircut. Another reason to switch over to reel mowing is the environmental impact of traditional gas powered mowing. In fact, 5% of air pollution is a result of gas powered lawn mowers (EPA). Biking to and from the job and using a push mower, I end up cutting out all the lawn care related carbon emissions.
