50+ thread

I just mulched my leaves as I mowed today. It makes for easy work. LOL.

 

weve been mulching ours the last year or two also. thats what we did today. as long as you stay ahead of them it works. at the most ill have to pick up the last time for the year.

 

you all cant pile the leaves up and torch them, makes for a quick and dirty disposal just stand near by with a garden hose, like the old days how people did it

there's a special town in Massachusetts called Longmeadow mass, where they just rake them to the edge of the road and the town vacuums up. Those people are special there...

 

Is there any apple pie left?

 

Welp, she’s gone, on her way to New Mexico. First time in nearly 50 years, I haven’t owned a truck. 66 years old, can’t drive, don’t own a truck, and hanging out in an over 50’s thread on a truck forum. The stars have aligned.

 

You need a snowblower

If I took a torch to the leaves, half the state would burn

 

I’m a mulched/ compost guy, neighbor used to burn, then there was the call to fire department. It’s all a pain in the butt, but is better than living in the city. Plus there’s cold beer afterwards.

 

If you want to feel better read my post

 

Nope, wife and I did the math , pros/cons , time to go. If it was an automatic we would definitely kept it. Now I’m looking and kicking tires

 

Leaves are falling like crazy here. I think this year I'll just chop um up with the rider. My back has been giving me problems lately. Raking leaves is not a good idea right now.

 

I look at it like, no matter how much I work at it, I’m still going to finish in the spring. Speaking of leaves, time to go.

 

Seems like a great kid, mid thirties, engineer, skier/camper. Real happy about the whole deal.

 

Mulched/mowed leaves & then tried to use the yard rake to pick up walnuts. That didn't work.

Friggin thousands of walnuts on the ground @our place & closer to 10k kickory nuts, then the chestnuts & acorns.

Lucky for us the critters cart off a lot. 76* today with rain all weekend & highs in the 50s nxt week.

Full on winter prep here.

 

...shoot them at the neighbors with a riding mower...

 

But you can drive the CubCadet anywhere, right?


..and, after 5 months of waiting, wife’s new car finally came in!

2024 Camry Hybrid XSE in Wind Chill Pearl with Midnight Black roof.

 

I'm a Gierach fan.

 

Merl Haggard tried that with drinking and driving on his tractor, didn’t go well. “You said I couldn’t drive my truck to town drunk “ funny story.
