    Straw or leaves will mat if wet but good leaves tend to dry out better if they aren't matted. Corn husks for the WIN!!!

    I think the sweeper is like 26 cu ft per load.

    I like trying things. I did the bowling ball thing out of not wanting to wait 6 weeks to send them out.
    I have done some emergency repairs on one or two tournament bowlers.
    Got one repair done in 24 hours. Guy couldn’t believe it.

    Of course I had to recondition them all after the tournament cause this one stuck out like a sore thumb. LOL.
    I stay busy..

    Looks like we’re going to have one more nice day to spend outside before our normal fall weather finally arrives. 71* today! Then a chance of snow the next couple of days. We need a good cold snap to finish defoliating the trees! Then maybe I can stop leaf blowing every day!

    Kettlebell day! Then the cleaning ladies are coming to get the house ready for my better half’s return from a family visit.

    Let’s make this day a great start to the week! Stay/get healthy and follow the doctors orders!

    :pccoffee: Good Morning Porch Pals & Sue! Going to try some outside chores once I get limber - hips feeling better without hard PT. None of that scheduled this week. See the hip guy Friday. More record heat for another day, then they keep up-promising some rain starting Wednesday. We'll see!

    N+1 is good!

    This thing is fast! It's an ICE VTX, so I've been having a blast riding it. It sits lower, so getting up out of it is a squat workout.

    Yes, truck freight. A big cardboard box, freight shipped. It was a heck of a sale and free shipping, so I couldn't pass it up.

    Afternoon all:
    Traveled to the farthest area that we hunt this morning, THEY LEVELED THE PLACE since I was last in there! :annoyed:
    Freshest cuts have all the felled trees and their branches left in them, a nightmare to get through let alone get a deer out, the older cuts are so thick that you can't even hunt them, what's left is the thick nasty swamps, check another place off!!! :(

    Great pick up. Let me know when you do your net charity ride.

    Good morning. Day 3 is done, only one more day of early voting for me to do. We had a lot of seniors come through our polling center yesterday. I am still amazed at the number of voters using canes, walkers, and wheelchairs that came out to vote, even after the 7 pm hour when the polling center closes at 8pm. Our center processed over 3500 voters yesterday. We had an initial opening surge from 7am to 8am, then the voters trickled in till 10am. After 10am the line of voters went out the door till 7:50pm, 10 minutes prior to closing. The day went by quickly. If you have not already voted please, get out and vote for the candidate of your choice.
