Its about time for 2 times a week mowing. Grass is growing like weeds.

But the question remains. Has your neighbor learned how to mow?

I don't have to mow twice a week unless we get good rain every 2 or 3 days. Once a week for me...dammit. just realized I mowed it a week ago.

Not a chance

Once a week!?!?! Hell, I might mow my yard monthly; but my neighbors hate me. I am going to try to do a better job of keeping up with my yard this summer.

I mow my yard at the highest lawn mower height, so it starts to look wild quicker I guess. Helps the roots grow longer making the grass more drought tolerant.

I mowed my yard a couple weeks ago with the riding mower. Somehow my deck was WAY out of whack. One blade was cutting a good 3/4 inch lower than the other. Looked like a baseball field with the stripes in it. My neighbor even asked "Hey where you drunk when you mowed your yard?" Answer was no, but I was too lazy to adjust the deck height at that moment.

My neighbors don't really like me either. I guess repeatedly calling the cops on one for dealing meth and telling the other their teenage grandkids could have been shot for breaking into my back yard leads me to that conclusion.

You need some surveillance cameras Aaron. The ones that record to an SD card. Get that shit on tape and fucking hammer those little fucks. Then the grandparents can royally hug your nuts.

We are contemlating removing most all of our lawn to have something that just grows and needs little water. ... and keep out fruit and avocado trees.

Sean... let's be honest here. We are all friends; you know that right?


Were you drunk when you mowed the yard? You can say yes... we all know the truth. If I had a riding mower I'd be hammered while mowing. I think that is one of the reasons I still have a push mower. That and I am too cheap to buy a better mower.

My wife saw them back there while I was out. Came home and knocked on the door to confront them. They had a house full of family guest and I got pretty shitty with the old man when they tried to blow it off. The little ass holes came through a closed gate, stole the lock that was hanging on the inside of the gate and then lied about even being back there.
I just wanted an apology from the kids but the grandma made a smart ass comment so I gave it right back.

yeah those kids would get shot with a pellet gun. What pellet gun... wasn't me? Huh? What lock?

I really wasn't drinking and mowing.. honest.

Why not? I don't think you can get a DUI for mowing and drinking as long as you keep it off the street/sidewalk.

Mowing and drinking is like wheeling my truggy and drinking. It just shakes up my beer. I just stop along the trail for no apparent reason to drink a cold one.

 

[tx_shooter]

We need to get you a CamelBak.... those were great for drinking on the go in the Corps.
