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

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.

mowers/Pages/Series.aspx?sid=Super-Recycler








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!








I have had to pay to have a few of them cut down over the past couple of




years. One was an 80 foot tall blue spruce that fell over in a wind




storm. $1000 to have it removed and the fence repaired. Then there was




the 80 foot tall Norway maple that needed to be cut down, $1500, because




it had a Y that was splitting to the ground. There were two wires




holding it together about 40 feet up.








This doesn't count all of the work done on the other trees over the last




13 years.












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!








Luckily my wife takes the dogs for a walk every day and they eat and




poop while on their walk. The problem is that my wife brings the poop




home and tosses it into our trash can. It is not pleasant around the




trash can in the summer time.




Good for her being a responsible dog owner.


I have a dedicated trash can lined with a large garbage bags for that purpose.


It would be a perfect spot to dispose of any unwelcome vermin that might


come onto my property uninvited.




Thanks for the reminder. We've all seen photos of your front yard


littered with trash cans and other debris. What a disgusting pig sty.


Your property must be a *vermin magnet*.




Gee, Meyer, why are you so snarky? A guy says he picks up after his dog and


you go after him for that. Why are youso concerned about where someone


lives? You must live in a mansion, right?




Gee, Empacher Fan, why are you, a responsible federal law official,


getting involved in the trivial


bull****? And, why do you seem to focus your attentions in one direction only?




Your 'above it all' attitude lasted what - almost a week?




I've already filtered out a couple of the nastier posters here, and there


are a few more on my watch list. I think it was you to whom I posted


earlier this week that I am not a fan of on-line nastiness and I didn't


think reasonable posters should sit on their hands when they observe it.


The poster I mentioned above seems to get off on snarky posts. I suppose


that is ok with the majority of posters here, since most of you tolerate


it.




I have a buddy through work who boats and fishes out of the Virginia Beach


area. Talked to him last weekend, says he gave up posting here years ago


because of the nastiness. Seems to be a fairly common happening. Ever


wonder why?




Harry you are busted.


y'all are as bad as Snotty...you see Harry behind every bush.
Go to YouTube and listen to 'Pictures of Matchstick Men' by Status Quo.
Describes y'all to a 'T'.
