midnight Posted September 3, 2018 Share Posted September 3, 2018 As soon as we got to the park and unloaded the kids and the food, the storm hit and we all got soaked, trying to make it back to the cars. But we did have a nice lunch at our daughter’s apartment instead. Then went and got a new phone, because my other one was at capacity. All in all, not a bad day, but I am exhausted. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes it is great to get out of the house and let the kids be kids and enjoy being outside, other than in the yard. I’m glad it rained, but it would’ve been nice if it had waited an hour or two. We did this a couple of weeks ago, and had a great time. Disco and I cook before we leave, and carry a big picnic to the town rec center and eat and let our son play on the slides and playground equipment. He has a blast. We pick up the other daughter and the grand baby and just make an afternoon of it. It is a very good thing to unplug and disconnect from the internet sometimes, and enjoy the world around us.

No. Weed eating is the worst. I will be so glad when the fall weather arrives, and we can park the mower until spring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ginguy Posted September 3, 2018 Share Posted September 3, 2018 (edited) Had a storm pop up this afternoon. Lightning struck the old TV antenna and the thunderclap set off my fire alarm. Interesting day. Edit: My lawn is mowed, and trimmed.... Edited September 3, 2018 by Ginguy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think actually mowing the lawn is that bad once I get started, but before I get started I'm always like, "Goddammit, I don't want to mow the fucking lawn." 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True. Finding the motivation to actually get started is the hardest part. Weed eating on the other hand, just never becomes cool. We have a giant yard, with several shops, fountains, pools, flower beds, etc., that have to be weeded around. It takes around 3 hours just to weed eat. Another couple of hours to mow. And that’s on a zero-turn mower. At least the leaves are starting to fall here. Because fuck mowing but maybe one or two more times, this miserable summer.

There were these transparent, green, yardstick long tubes with a pointy injector thing at the end that you''d stick in the ground near the weed and it would dose it with weed killer. Didn't find out until much later the weed killer being used was pretty dangerous poison, currently banned. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By that I mean, the weed killer does such a good job of killing the weeds, that it kills everything around it. I’ve never used it but, I have a cousin that uses Round-Up around everything, and his yard looks like shit. There are dirt circles around all of his trees and plants, and everything else. As much as I hate to weed eat, I’d rather do that, and preserve the greenery around all of our stuff in the yard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We aren't doing ourselves any favors. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We aren't doing ourselves any favors. I was just watching a video of a new factory in Ethiopia. They are taking all of the garbage from their landfill and burning it, (through a more elaborate process) and creating electricity. Also, this is creating recycled/purified water, and the ash from burning the garbage is creating bricks. It’s a hell of a concept, that supplies all of these things to people, while eliminating their garbage problem at the same time. It makes you wonder. One of the poorest nations is doing something this great, while our nation doesn’t seem interested. It’s all about money here. It’s all about surviving and leaving less of a footprint behind for those folks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
