Got me a manual mower, the reel style. Pretty quiet, no gas to keep on hand and it doesn't seem like too much work for a smallish city lot.

I do a modified Zamboni version because the wheels tend to push the grass down and without the suction that a standard mower produces, you don't want to go right back over the wheel track- give it a chance to spring back.

Really, really getting tempted to pay someone, but can't get over the lazy feeling!
