How'd it go today?

[Raj]

Thanks all, she is fine now, we have her prescribed drops. Going to try some of the home remedies.

 

[Bodean]

Good news!

 

[Fiddler]

Glad she's feeling better!

Couple of small projects at the course today. Stacked a trailer full of brush. Cleaned by baby up to put away for the season and took the sign down that was down the road on the corner. Nearing the finish line...

 

[Levi]

A couple of drops of Olive Leaf Extract every few months and I haven't had any wax build up for years. Good for a lot of other things as well including ear infections.

Hope your little girl is ok Peter.

That's a handy trick. I get some serious build up if I don't do something of the like, it can be painful.

 

[Levi]

Do you have to rake leaves?

I always figured that the noble leaf came from the earth, it should go back to the earth. The tree must drop them right there for a reason.

My thinking exactly, the mole thing makes sense though. Turf grass is my sworn enemy, I can't stand the way that people preen and primp over it, at least here in this semi arid environment.

 

[Fiddler]

All i do to lawn is deep it down...no water, no nursing with chems...just don't want to walk through a jungle to get to the vehicles etc.

 

[Levi]

That makes sense, I've heard folks say it helps keep snakes away as well.

 

[Fiddler]

Yrp, critters is another reason.

 

[Levi]

All you have to do here is not water, then you end up with a nice dirt patch with some weeds and grass here and there.

 

[Fiddler]

Nice! I'd be 3'- 4' deep in thistles, Polk bushes, and rhubarb if I didn't cut regular.

not to mention the ever present grape vines and sumac I fight.

 

[FireFighterZero]

Wow, that's a nice mower.

For some reason I pictured you pulling a gang of those old ground drive clippers.

Polk bushes? What's that?

 

[Fiddler]

It's the bush that makes the song "Polk Salad Annie" a possibility" Also known as an invasive species around here.

We use gangs on the fairways. I use this on the driving range and on the conservation club next door.

 

[FireFighterZero]

That's what I thought.

Good eating, just don't let the gator get your granny.....chomp chomp!

 

[SeanKroll]

1992 f450. Fair shape. Cosmetic issues. Cheap. Formerly a bucket truck. 220k. New clutch. 460 gas. Stepping stone truck to replace my half ton.

 

[Levi]

Nice, I've always wanted to try a service body.

 

[CurSedVoyce]

Nice Indeed. Been keeping an eye out for something like that. Nice score Sean.

 

[Fiddler]

Good deal Sean. Always wanted to try going that route myself.

 

[squisher]

Looks like a mighty handy box/bed combo. I'm envisioning the ogre in the back.

 

[Raj]

Nice!

 

[Fiddler]

Opening day of alcohol & firearms today...taking day off.

 

[Grendel]

I hear that. It's crazy up here. Going to pick pine cones somewhere safe. Day job has been pissing me off lately. . .

 

[Mick!]

On a three day clearance, only conifers nothing interesting. Logistically challenging though. 30 cube of chip and as much wood to get rid of locally (job was 1hr 30 minutes away)
About 12 o'clock today I realised, with some relief, we're going to bring it in on time.
Got it sorted and grinding the stumps tomorrow.

Happy days!

 

[Fiddler]

Sam, Best to take the buttons off your shirt so as to get a bit closer to the ground while dodging the flying lead.

Glad it's working out for you Mick. I take it "cube" is cubic meters?

 

[Mick!]

Yes.

 

[Fiddler]

Fair amount of work in that.

WooHoo! dumped out the two cycle from my backpack blower and re-filled with new mix using marine fuel...ran a couple tanks through it and leaves are all piled or blown into woods. That's a relief.

surprised it worked. What was in the blower is the same mix I've been using in my saw, which has been running great.
