The Random Thought Thread
I think the days are getting longer now. Almost 5 and it's not dark.
It's just around the corner......
There should be a social media for inebriated people called "Shit Faced Book."
I hate the smell of weed. Every place I go anymore there is someone who smells like skunk.
4 hours golfing just flies by, but 4 hours doing leaves is endless hell

KCee All that sounds like one day for me. Just got in from leaves front and back plus I mowed and trimmed the back. Got CrossFit in an hour. Late night too, gotta pick up Nick from his flight home at midnight. Back to work tomorrow morning at indoor golf and then I can finish off the leaves out front, cut and fertilize before CrossFit.
Worst part is I probably would have 40 bags of leaves if I were to bag them. And I have NO trees.
Typhoon I have a LOT of trees all around me. No idea how many bags it would take, but 40 would probably just be the tip of the iceberg. I used to have the HS crew team come do leaves at their peak, but they stopped a few years ago. Apparently our yard was too hard lol. I need to find someone to do the majority of it again. I can handle the physical workload, but it just takes too much time. My parents yard is a snap in comparison.

My city will not accept anything in black plastic bags which eliminates bagging leaves. We can put yard waste in 30 gal. cans but that would take a shit load of cans for leaves. I have a mulching mower and just turn them into to dust. I just blow them out with a cordless blower to where I can get to them with the mower. Piece of cake.

People don't realize the nutrients.....potassium, phosphorus and nitrogen..... that go back into the lawn, doing this. Instead, they like to buy fertilizer, then bitch about the costs of such on golf forums. And how they have no grass, at the same time.
I like bitching about mowing twice weekly.
City slickers.

Rickochet we have to buy special leaf bags and they pick them up once in the fall… last week to be specific. The black plastic bags days are gone forever I think.
Luckily I have woods behind my house and I dump them down there. I usually blow them off the lawn and either grind them up by driving the tractor over them a bunch of times before picking them up or using the old pool cover as a tarp, blowing them on to it and dragging it around to the back woods. That’ll be tomorrows fun.
Today was a lot and the killer workout has me a bit on the stiff side tonite. Still have to pick up the rockstar probably around 1 am now
My mom's is cake. Just get them out to the curb and a truck comes by and sucks him up several times during the fall.
Mine sucks, I now outsource
Par4QC No Shit Sherlock… I wasn’t looking to mulch them. I don’t have mulching blades on the tractor. What I do is blow them off the lawn to pavement and I clog the chute on the power bagger so as I drive over them I grind them up. When they are ground up enough, I unclog the chute and pick them up amd dump the bags.
This ways it’s 2-3 trips to dump them vs, picking up whole leaves and driving back to the woods 25 times.
