The Random Thought Thread

Par4QC Mulched leaves disappear into the grass.

I find I can mulch them the first few weeks they are falling and at the end when just the oaks are letting go, but those 2 weeks when they really let go there's just too much. I think if I could mow/mulch more than once a week it would work, but I don't have that kind of time.

My Toro has a mulch kit on it. I only mulch when the leaves start coming down. It has a combo cut/mulch blade. To mulch all I have to do is to clip on a plate to block the discharge chute. I can plow through 2' deep oak leaves. It takes two or three passes but they all finally disappear.

Rickochet It takes two or three passes

Yes that's what happens even though I have the mulching blades as well. I open the chute a lot just to try to spread them around as some areas have so many leaves I'm pushing them even with the deck set at 4". In many areas I find it easier to use the blower or sweeper rather than making so many passes. I was told too much mulching is not good for the lawn, but the guy that told me that did a horrible job with my lawn so...lol

That might pertain to mulching grass which I don't do. Taller green grass tends to clump up when mulched.

Rickochet I never tried it til this year. It is the new 'big deal'!
I'm sure the yard will reward me next summer. That bastage.

Rickochet Yeah, grass will rot, cause problems. The leaves are (basically) already dead, but still contain nutrients.

Today would have been #37 for us.

Sorry for your loss Rex. We did #37 this past August.

Funny that this year there is no talk of the Callaway Black Friday sale.

There is no "carry" in Karaoke. That is all.

sdandrea1 25% off EVERYTHING.

That's been going on for weeks. In my 'inbox' anyway. I'm not biting.
Bag is set!!

They're calling it Pre-Black Friday until tomorrow.......

My bag is set, too..

sdandrea1 My bag is set

I say shit like that.....and I'm stone cold sober!! Just cannot do it with a straight face, even sitting here alone.

Fightin' over yard work. How far they have fallen.

Fortunate to live in a state with two good, and highly entertaining college football coaches. Lane Kiffin and Mike Leach. The MS State QB tried to lose the game for them last night, but his defense wouldn't let it happen. Barring injury, it looks like Will Rogers will become the top SEC passer in many categories next year even though he doesn't appear to be all that exceptional. Great win for the pirate (coach Leach) and MS State last night.

Felt like crap all day. I have a bad cough and it’s beating the shit out of me. I’ve had a weird feeling on my skin like I was cold but didn’t have a fever. I took off the compression shirt I had on all day for warmth and felt much better. Don’t know why the shirt had me feeling awful. I’m warmer without it on

I get that feeling from plain compression shirts too. Must be the material. A Nike Thermawarm compression shirt doesn't do it cause it has that fleece like lining. But a plain compression shirt does.
