Joe--I know the feeling. Nothing relaxes me more than mowing a couple acres with a good mower. It is therapy for me in my rehabillitation from heard surgery. I also notice, days when my blood pressure has a tendency to be high, relaxed work brings it down----Hope you get to enjoy many more of the mowings, and you have two good mowers.----May God bless all of you and bless you and keep you---Will
Will--sometimes called pecanmanwill

Hi Joe. I've found out that it really gets you out of your own head. Racetunes help too. LOL Joe, Are you doing the Poconos to New York City commute?
Kevin No tunes for me, I find it too distracting, besides the purr of a good running Kohler "K" series is music in it's own way. My comute isn't quite to NYC, just NJ...... 50 miles each way. Gas prices make it stink, but the plus side is I can vary my route to scout for free stuff along the sides of the road. Just scored a nice weight bench. I'm not exercizing, just looking at the steel, weights and cables as raw material for future projects.

I agree Joe... I mowed my vacant ~3 acres in Vermont this week with the 1960's Gravely garden tractor... I save the mowing 'till the end of the work day so I can relax... I lost another 1/2 can of beer and the cuzzie cooler to the mower !  Third one in two seasons... gotta' keep a better eye on it so i don't have to make an unexpected pit stop to refuel !

Nothing is as good as seat time, after a stress filled day at work combined with a long white knucked commute. Somehow 3 to 4 mph on the grass is very soothing........
