I didn't get home until 10:30 last night. This last year has been ridiculously. I still have customers wanting to be wait listed for three months. You can drive over and use my tractor if you finish all your yard work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sieg67 Posted June 5, 2022 Share Posted June 5, 2022 Kinda like cleaning. Not that I care to do it but the results make me happy. Also hard to stop once I start. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
katt_goddess Posted June 5, 2022 Share Posted June 5, 2022 I burst into flames if I'm out in the direct sun for too long. If I ever move out of apartment land, it'll be to move to condo land because someone else will still be forced to do the yard work. I do tend to wear aprons now by choice and not because gender-forced. If I have a lot of cleaning or crafting to do, I pick an apron, handkerchief the hair and make that mess. No one messes with someone in a 'Los Hermanos Pollos' apron carrying cans of spray paint. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sieg67 Posted June 5, 2022 Share Posted June 5, 2022 I've seen people concrete their yard. Not sure if they do this to avoid yard work or so they can park wherever they want. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seight Posted June 5, 2022 Share Posted June 5, 2022 For me the problem with yard work is if I do it anytime besides 8-10 AM or 6-8 PM I am probably going to be on fucking fire. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You rarely hear a compliment, but you always hear complaints. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SwimOdin Posted June 19, 2022 Author Share Posted June 19, 2022 I took him to show the baby, but I put him back where I found him, and a few minutes later he was gone.

Don’t have to deal with carburetor problems, you push a button to start instead of pulling the string, it’s quiet, it doesn’t spew fumes all over you, and you don’t have to buy crazy gas. Only downside is my front + backyard is too much for one battery charge. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vamped Posted June 19, 2022 Share Posted June 19, 2022 Best believe if/when I get a yard, you will not see me out there fucking around trying to pull that cord. Some old man at work was telling how ashamed he was of men not being able to start a lawn mower and I was like .... we'll be out there looking stupid together No I take that back, I don't do outside.
