They're bigger in person, I swear

 

I assume going to Indiana actually, still ain't cheap to be here. Visiting Indiana I realized that they subsidize you for living in a worthless wasteland by making everything cheaper.

 

Is this the “van life” I’ve been hearing so much about??

 

That’s what I keep telling your mom but she still won’t call me back

But for real, looks good! Can’t wait until the house renovation is further along so I can do fun stuff like this. After being a dirtbag for so long, I’ve always wanted a home worth decorating lol

 

I ain't the decorative type; but they're for her and we still got more stuff to put out.

Simple dude with simple taste

 

Yours can't even take a selfie using panoramic mode

 

I don’t know if I’m just getting older or it’s a result of finally owning after living in rental shitholes for the last 15 years but I’ve been getting a growing desire for a nice home… I find myself checking out other peoples paint choices and landscaping, something I never cared about in the past. Maybe it’s just a sign I need to find a woman so she can take over that crusade lol

I think you underestimate these new cameras… I’m sure you’re very familiar with the 10x zoom feature

 

I'm a certified old person when I walk around my neighborhood, admiring the effort people are putting into maintaining their homes and gardens. They're all century old homes in a neighborhood that needs some love so I appreciate the work when I see it.

 

Certified old person is appreciating the lines on a freshly mowed lawn

 

That’s another youtube rabbit hole I find myself in sometimes lol it’s crazy these people have lawns nicer than a golf green

 

No lawn is best lawn

 

My yard has a bunch of huge pine trees so the soil is basically ruined by the acid… I’ve been looking at some native wildflowers to cover the bare dirt but it might be a pipe dream. As much as I appreciate a nice lawn, I hate taking precious summer hours to mow grass. Especially in wyo where nothing grows without constant attention and tons of money. I’m sure I’d feel different if I had kiddos playing in the yard though

 

I've got native grasses, mint, roses, and a pool full of Japanese free loaders

 

You never offered to send me any mint

 

I've never used any of it but the honey bees love it.

 

We've got lavender we planted and they love that stuff

Mint I'll have to add; I use plenty of it in my mojitos cause you gotta mash it up

Mules just take like 2-3 leaves and you don't really taste much of it anyway

Dammit now I'm craving one

 

I think there’s more water in that pond than all the rain we get in a year
I had a coworker that had some koi and it seemed like fun. I think he had a hell of a time keeping them alive through the winter though. Like you said, I don’t want to pay for heat for a bunch of freeloaders

 

Make mine a double, it’s Friday

 

These little guys are hearty, I don't heat this pond and we have weeks sometimes in the single digit negatives. I've actually only ever had them die in the summer heat. That's the biggest reason why I keep the waterfall going. It cools the water for them the other one adds plenty of air but they need the cooling. I might put a little 200 watt heater in it this winter just to keep it from forming as much ice over the top. I don't like seeing the neighborhood cats walk on it when it is iced over cuz it's usually not that thick and I don't want one falling in.
