    It’s warm enough here that we can open the windows and turn off the heating. Not hot enough to need AC yet. So what do I hear all day today?

    Lawnmowers.

    I mean, we have a lawnmower too, but ours is 100% electric. So we basically mow the lawn in stealth mode. I don’t think anyone realises we’re doing it unless they physically see us out there with it. We’re good neighbors. As for our neighbors… Ehhh, not so much.

      One of my neighbors has a small electric one and I was floored by how quiet it was. I might actually get one this year if my finances add up right…

      My electric mower has some noise generating nonsense grafted to it; my ears would love a stealth mower. It would be infuriating, if not for all the advantages. Eight years and I have yet to drop everything to run to the gas station, gap a spark plug, or change oil.
