Not really. Depends on what kind of a mower you use. Old fashioned hand mower, normal push gas or electric mower, or with driving wheels, normal riding mower, or a big commercial type wide mower.

My yard has a little less than a 1/3 of an acre of lawn to be mowed, and it takes me 6 to 7 hours with the electric push mower I use. But, I don't walk very fast, either. My stamina got up and left years ago.

In that case I would recommend, http://www.nuance.com/dragon/index.htm. And on the plus side, it could reduce your chance of developing carpal tunnel syndrome.

Hmm. You know between the lot of us I'm sure we could come up with a much faster way of mowing the grass if you'd like us to. :D

Or at least, you know, make all the grass really really short really really quickly. :twisted:

I have a whole lot of yard.
The rapid fire chapters are awesome, but your stories are worth the wait. :)

You should bring a notebook with you, all that time to mow the lawn should give you a lot of time to think up plot twists to torture us with. Or what ever evil plans you can think up during all that time. :evil: :evil:

The problem with that idea is if he stopped to write down all the evil ideas he comes up with, it would likely take him 14 hours to mow the lawn, thus delay further chapter output by an even greater margin.

Still, there is something to be said for that feeling of finally getting the yard work all done, then sitting down on the porch and having a beer. Cheers!

That's why I recommended that Dragon software,,, he could dictate, as he mowed.

If you are ordering one, put one in for me. I just don't know which web-site to order the dragon software. :wink: :twisted:

And they limit me to 3 layers embedded code.... I need the dragon software.
