I've got a huge lawn, it needs to be mowed ... and my mower is in the shop. Which means ... either today or tomorrow I've got to walk over to the Moon's house, borrow their mower, mow the lawn and then take the mower back.
The problem?? Well, when I mow my lawn, it's usually an all day project. It's so damn hot out that I mow a section .... take about a half an hour break ... then go out and do another section ... take a half hour break ... and on like that until it's done. There are about eight sections to mow in all, with each one taking anywhere from twenty minutes to a half an hour. In good weather (which is usually two or three times a year) I can do it all at once ... but it is hell on earth to try it in the horrible heat.
And .... I would think it rude to borrow their mower for longer than the time it actually takes to get out there and do the job from start to end. So ... ick.
