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!

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!
