Weather WTF

On a related note, fucking lawn boy quit.  His 'back hurts' too much to mow my damn lawn this year.  Guess he'll be a future disability leech I'll have to pay for.

I'm thinking I'm going to have to break down and clean out enough space in my garage to buy a lawn tractor.  Fucking lazy hicks.

Lawns suck.  Get rid of it.

Last year's marts had a mean temperature of 5.7 degrees, this one is -1.0 so far, which is the largest difference since records began in 1874.

They're projecting an unusually cold april and may too.

Yeah, I think that's going to be a given here as well, the difference in monthly average temperatures is likely to be more that 5.5C lower than last year.

How big is your lawn ? You are going to need to shrink it down, let the forest take over it a little.

Property is about 3 acres, and I would guess 1 1/2 of that is lawn with the rest being house and woods/creek.... and I have gradually been adding trees, yep.

He's in Texas.  Lawns do suck there, unless you drain all the aquifers to keep it watered.

Plants are good, turn co2 into oxygen.

Cal, I sometimes get annoyed at mowing my small lawn, never mind your micro-estate. I had a landscaper doing before it but started doing my own yard work last year. I'd rather do my own.
I bought a battery powered Black and Decker lawn mower, and I love it. No gas, oil, air/gas/oil filters. No smoke and hot exhaust stench on my clothes. A lot quieter. I was skeptical about battery powered but definitely didn't want to go gas mower. Also bought a leaf blower which also sucks up the leaves; that's very handy. Battery will have to be replaced after 5-7 years and is about a hundred bucks, so I figure the overall maintenance costs are about equal, maybe a bit cheaper for the battery powered.

The heady mid to upper 40s today. :gasp:

Trust me, I'd rather mow my own lawn.  I mean, it's not that I love mowing lawns, but it'd be so much easier than dealing with yet another lazy yokel.  What sucks is the last lawn boy actually did a really good job AND he lived right across the street, so I knew where to find him if we needed the lawn mowed.

Can't you get some of your HR stooges to do it?

HR and anything "practical", I don't thing those ever occur in the same sentence.

I enjoy mowing my own lawn. It gets me away from everybody and I can ride it naked down the street.

Haven't you already made enough of a spectacle of yourself ?
