Winterized the boat and had the marina yank it last week. Beautiful



weekend to work on a boat but a shame...end of season. what a nice



year it was...and 6 months to Spring!







I'm not ready. In fact, it's going to be 83 degrees today, and I'm taking the afternoon off to go out on the lake. When we come back in this evening, I'll have to tie back up in a different slip so the entire dock we're on can be replaced in November.







I'm not ready either. But...the leaves have started their merry trip to earth, and I've not even

gotten a good start on the bumper crop of acorns we had this year.

Don't ever buy a house with twelve big oak trees thereon.



Too late... we have nothing but 90 foot tall oaks. Huge acorns. But our leaves are just now starting to get some color. Squirrels are going "nuts" right now. I bought one of these a couple years ago... worth every penny.

I bought one of these 13 years ago and I haven't had to do anything with
leaves but run over them with it.

When my leaves are at full-tilt, I'd have to use that every other day, and the bag would have to be emptied 20 times. My riding mower, with the two huge bags, is useless after 4-5 days.


I don't use the bagger. I just run over the leaves and they disappear.


You need a few more trees!

Fortunately, I have a huge natural area in the back that I can blow the leaves into.


My neighbors get ****ed when I throw our dog poop over the fence into
their yard. I suppose they would have the same problem if I blew my
leaves into their yard.


I really don't believe you throw the dog poop into their back yard!
