I could never mow with you. What a boring take.

Yeah because you'd be faster. But mowing isn't just about speed and efficiency.

It's about getting a little exercise on a lazy Sunday. The fresh air. The smell of the grass. The feeling of accomplishment that comes with doing something yourself.

Mowing fact: a half gallon jug full of water from the tap just tastes better after a hard mow.
