I got out of work today and faced an inch of fresh new snow. Good for sugaring, but not for driving. Can’t wait for summer to finally arrive.

Wolfman; I am beginning to think instead of a charcoal lawn mower or motor bike, I should be thinking about a charcoal snowmobile. I might get more use out of it.TomC

Been very windy out here on the plains last couple days but today was the worst so far. At 5 pm sustained 33mph gusts to 44mph highest gust of the day 55. Could be worse we could have snow with it.
Think I’ll check my garden to see if it blew my pea seeds out of the ground:slight_smile:

Just dawned on me.
Wayne gets so much done because he multitasks. Like mowing and fertilizing at the same time.

Rides like a county truck and accelerates like a raped ape.

That screams “methane digester” to me Chris. Always wanted to build one just not enough steady heat to make it viable…

You should have started mowing earlier in the spring. I’m looking at starting in about a week so I don’t have that problem. ( rake it and mulch ) more work than if you would have mowed earlier. You need charcoal gas on the mowerTomC

Yeah, well. Turning town lots grass into meat and eggs is one year battle that “we” lost back in the year 2000 here in my town.
The most telling argument in public meetings put up was by a 90 year old woman: “I do not dislike chickens. And I do like my eggs every morning. But as a raised country girl I’ll tell you that having chickens (or geese, goats, cows) means you have to have bags of feed. The feed draws RATS! And we don not want to bring rats into town!”
Another younger mother gal complained that the animal manures would create biting fly’s spreading diseases.
I wanted to say that all of the new people moved-in sure had spawned cockroaches (a dense people debris pest - never a rural one), increasing nanny-ism’s, and a reduction in personal freedoms.
They won.
So Like you I burn up bought out dino-fuel annually to keep grasses fire-safe&legal. The weeds out of seed heads reproduction to avoid county “Vegetative Management” natzi-patrol fines. And they are 100% chemical insistent anymore.
These woman buy their eggs and meats from millions dense packed horror-house Big Agra-production facilities.
Helicopters annual spray the valley for mosquitos and coddling moths.
Big money wins through easy-make Fears. Again.
Bitter? Oh, you betcha’.
Only thing that keeps me from mowing with an oil burning worn out old IC engine fogger is my own personal ethics.
Allow THEM to pry that away from you then you become just as lost to the Matrix of Conformity as they are.
