Our new lawnmower came yesterday, and it cooled down a bit today so this evening I mowed my ery own lawn for the first time. I had been considering an electirc mower and Jeff got one and liked it so we ordered a Back and Decker MM575 electric. It had 10% off for July and with free shipping it came to about $145. Not too bad. I just had to get an extention cord.

In use it was kinda like a blend of using a regular mower and a vacuum cleaner. Mowing by snaking away from the cord kept it out of the way. Our grass probabbly went 3 weeks without being mowed and in a few places I had to go over it on a high setting first or sometimes go slower than normal, not much different from a gas mower.
