Electric riding mowers are still really expensive, though having that much lawn to mow is already expensive whether they realize it or not. So I can see what you mean there.
But replacing a walk-behind with electric isn't too hard to do. If your yard is small enough you can easily get by with a very cheap, corded mower.
For anyone on the fence, though, my battery mower is a beast and is much easier to use than gas. And there's even less maintenance than a gas mower, which is already low.

I've been no-mowing May since before it was cool (I hate mowing the lawn).

That's what CARB is trying to do and people still complain. All of my yard power tools are electric and the reduction in noise pollution alone is worth it.

All these people saying you just add BBQ sauce to chipped ham couldn't be more wrong. This recipe is close to what I learned.

There was a period of time where the worst construction practices converged at the same time. Like damn, did that building have Federal Pacific electric panels, too?

It sounds pedantic but that is a way of describing time. "Zero" is the day of the event, days leading up to it are negative, days after positive.
Idk what system Pittsburgh is on but they love to do this post-dated bullshit, don't they?

My back is shady and has tons of violets and clover. I can ignore it throughout a lot of the year. The front though is a shitty monoculture and I have to mow it pretty much every week in spring. I need to bring that shade to the front.
