Yard work season has finally started and the routine of mowing the lawn can be described like:

1. Start lawn mower.
2. Decide which part of the yard to do first.
3. Stop lawn mower.
4. Calculate the cut height: I use a simple formula which includes several variables:
   • The number of hours of rain and sun before the next cutting day
   • The surface measurements of the yard minus the size of the cutter (me)
   • The rotating speed of the cutting blades squared and times 2
   • The speed photons hit the greens of the grass (if this number approaches light speed, you can ignore this because this may cause you to age faster than your twin brother)
   • My favourite, the acceleration of gravity.
5. Restart lawn mower.
6. ????

The other thing I’ve been considering is to follow a unique mowing pattern: Currently I mow straight lines (my world renown ’45 degrees cut’, which I, incidentally, have a formula for too¹) but in the future I foresee a circle pattern or even a parabola cutting pattern. However, the calculation of these patterns is still ongoing.
