My stepfather was watching a program on TV that was condeming all those that make senseless noise in our great city Vancouver. Anything to do with lawn maintanence was high on the list.
So dad got it in his head that he was going to help reduce noise pollution. He went out and bought an old fashion push mower from Lee Valley. Old in function true...but it was brand new and it cost about $150 dollars. Along with the mower he also bought hand trimmers to trim the grass. One set that allows him to cut while standing and another set that forces him to get on his knees. Good by Honda gas powered lawnmower, and power weedeater, hello 1940s.
The funny thing is my stepfather is 85 years old and had a difficult time pushing the gas mower never mind this old fashion machine. I told him "dad why don't you let me cut the grass?" Which isn't really the case because i don't cut my own grass i'll be damned if i'm going to cut his. I would however higher someone to do it. He says "nope i want to do it." Old people sure are funny.
