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? When is the last time you had your name on the real estate tax rolls? I imagine it was back in the nineties when your bungalow was foreclosed on. Yeah, Wayne got it first...

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.

When is the last time you had your name on the real estate tax rolls? I imagine it was back in the nineties when your bungalow was foreclosed on. Yeah, Wayne got it first... I was hoping for the best but the only person who could watch don chase folks around the net and insult with each and every post, is harry krause... later harry, plonk Are you sniffing that white powder again?

Beautiful weekend to work on a boat but a shame...end of season. what a nice year it was...and 6 months to Spring! Glad you could have a great time, Bob. I never got to use my boat this year. The mid-west drought brought the water levels in the lakes to a dangerous level. Oh, I probably could have taken the little 18 footer out, but I didn't want to risk ripping up another lower end... The 13 footer, would have been guaranteed destruction. I just called the marina to see if I could bring my boat in today. They are taking nothing until after Hurricane Sandy (named after my wife!). They're on the Potomac River and are really worried about a tidal surge flooding the whole damn place. Hope all remains well with them. |

Do you have some kind of blight where you are? I've lost 3 blue spruced in the past year, and looking around the area, I see quite a few sickly blue spruces. I haven't heard of any blights, but the blue spruces don't look healthy. I've also got a 1/2 acre of Norway spruces that seem to be thinning out. I don't think that is a blight though, more likely old age. |

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.

Did you think your being a responsible federal law officer would change things? Bye. Word usage? Too many? Too small? Too big? Big or small sentence? I guess being a fan of civility makes me a target for some here. Also I posted here before I talked to my buddy in Virginia beach. You have few newbies here. Ever wonder why? Do you prefer not to have any? Looking for John? I think you just missed him. He said his goodbys already. |

Do you have some kind of blight where you are? I've lost 3 blue spruced in the past year, and looking around the area, I see quite a few sickly blue spruces. I haven't heard of any blights, but the blue spruces don't look healthy. I've also got a 1/2 acre of Norway spruces that seem to be thinning out. I don't think that is a blight though, more likely old age. I lost a blue spruce to spider mites this past spring. Little *******s can clean one off in couple days. Don't know from spider mites, my one blue spruce started having lower branches die on me over a couple of years. When I cut it down, the trunk was discolored, so I figured some kind of blight. We did have a wooly aglid infestation several years ago. It wiped out several once very pretty ravines in the area. It seems just about any tree around here eventually gets some sort of a disease. Dutch elm, chestnuts, spider mites, wooly aglids, etc. etc. |

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. I tell her that if I wasn't married I wouldn't never have to put out the recycling bins. |

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. http://www.shindaiwa-usa.com/Products/Blowers/EB802.aspx I bought one of these 13 years ago and I haven't had to do anything with leaves but run over them with it. http://www.toro.com/en-us/homeowner/mowers/walk-power- 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. I keep a little trash can out by the side of the garage with a plastic grocery bag therein. After walking the dogs, I throw the poop bag there, and then empty it into the big trash can on trash day. Works pretty well. Oh, I get my poop bags here now: http://www.uline.com/BL_5577/Newspaper-Bags Hell, 2000 for $51. Much cheaper than at the store! We get ours from the Washington Post. That *is* about the only reason to take the Post. But, our free six months ran out a while back, so I can't fall back on the Post bags. Besides, they often had holes in them from sliding across the driveway. |

Beautiful weekend to work on a boat but a shame...end of season. what a nice k year it was...and 6 months to Spring! I had my boat out on Friday cruising the harbour and circling three harbour islands plus buzzing a large cruiseship. Guess it's time for winterization. Since the boat was brand new this year, I'll probably pay the $200 to have the dealer winterize it. I've received my Navigloo cover from Costco to protect the boat over our long damp winters. Get a custom cover. You will regret the generics. I do have the custom cover for the boating season but it's not recommended for heavy snowfall. This Navigloo shelter is an alternative to shrinkwrap. Get a proper cover. They might run close to $500 but that's a bargain to keep your boat in good shape. |
