Another .5in of rain this morning, 9.6in for the past 8 days and 1/2 of a day of sunlight and I'm able to mow, mowed about an acre this evening and manage to shotgun 3 Karbachs also during the process. Ordered a 12in LED light bar for the mower for late evening mowing.

Light bar for your mower? Dont forget the oversized bro exhaust tip.

Hey it's get hot here, and I gots lots of yard to mow and I give 2 fucks about the sound because I have to wear earplugs, you buy the tip and I will sport it.

So glad I don't have a yard that big. Ever think of not mowing it and letting nature grab it back? Seems like a hell of a lot of time and work to cut acres. Ill never bitch about push mowing my 1/4 acre ever again

I have just an acre now; but am looking to move to a place at least 5-10 acres in size in the next few years.

I have a client that owns an organic food company that gave me a leave covered 'organic' vegetarian wrap. Man, it tasted like I was grazing one of your lawns!!!

My wife makes herself a smoothie ever morning and its always that guacamole colored green stuff. But she puts bananas and peanut butter and how knows what else in it.. but its pretty good honestly. But there is always a hint of grass clippings in it. But hey, my 6 year old loves them and they are way better than a Pop-Tart or Fruit Loops. Man I miss the good ol days of sugary breakfast cereal.

Oh I hear you. That's why I tried it. I love wheat grass juice. I won't pay for it but I love it. This crap was tough to stomach... and I am certain they chage $12-13 for this roughage. It gets sold to Whole Paychecks.

 

[Silverback]

Whole Paychecks ... so true!

Yeah my wife does the same. She has one of those Ninja grinders where you can take the plastic mixing cup to go in the mornings.

It's honestly not that bad when you have a good mower. Put some headphones on (with these, pic below) , with a water & beer next to you and time floats away.

Yeah, my wife has the same kind of blender thing. I am not allowed to use it. LOL

On a side note: I am done with all inspections of my house and will start moving in this weekend!

So glad to be done. God I hate residential construction with a passion. So many small stupid details and shitty contractors...

Congrats!!! ...and they typically all get lazy on the last 2-5%

Congrats!!! ...and they typically all get lazy on the last 20%

FTFY

I was being kind. It's probably 5% of the work and 20% of the cost.

Don't be kind to those fuckers.

That's why I hold 20% retain-age until the job is done and all the punch list items are fixed. My mom likes to pay 100% upfront so the job never usually even starts

My uncle is the same way and he gets screwed damn near every time. He still wants to take his 20 year old Honda with 200,000 plus miles to the dealer!!!
