Two major Questions

Over the last two days I have bee cleaning up the place and generally spit shining it up. Have mowed about 5 acres with a small lawn tractor. I was just thinking (I know that can be dangerous) at 3 gallons of gas and a 42 “ cut, what kind of mileage does that come out to?
Also at two beers to the acre was the beer mileage better or worse than the fuel mileage?

Today I’m cooking chicken and sausage on the smoker and sitting back and watch the kids play.

Your beer per acre mileage is way low.....you need to try and raise it to 12 beers per acre (and some munchies).....if you mow more then one acre I've found after 12 beers I don't care if the other acre's get mowed or not.....by using this beers/acre formula you'll use more gas because your vision will get blurry and you'll re-mow areas that have already been mowed

Good luck trying this formula......remember AA can help

I have 3 acres I mow with my little 20hp/46" cut stump finder. As long as i mow it on a regular basis, its not too bad. Its even getting expensive to mow the lawn! I always cut mine when i get home at the end of the day, so it takes several days to do it and I always top off before starting for the day. I usually do a tall boy or two a night when mowing, afterall, thats what the cupholder is for. I havent tried the munchies yet, maybe i will eat dinner while mowing and save some time!
