My grandfather on my dad's side was born into a Mennonite family, but left the faith when he joined the US Army Air Corp (now the Air Force). Totally fluent in Pennsylvania Dutch and a big time tinkerer, spent his entire career working on aircraft and left me a bunch of cool pneumatic tools when he died 11 days short of his 100th birthday.
As far as cutting the grass, his technique for this ~2500 s.f. lawn was to do the entire thing with a weed whacker... but that's probably just because he didn't own cows ;-)
