so is she, er mean he, um whatever
 
I thought about hiring a guy, but they want 80 to 100 a week for mine. Most people here don't have yards like mine, and these guys get 40 a week to basically run a leaf blower around
This guy does pretty good work. My neighbors paid him to do our yard once or twice right after Tank was born. Wish we could find someone like this in my parents' town to take care of them and my in-laws.

Also, don't you live in the desert or some shit? Why aren't you just hardscape and done?
 
In 3 years those day lilies will be the bane of your existence. They are hard to keep in check.
when we moved our garden had a bunch of day lilies, I wanted to dig most up, mrs pnk felt that was wasteful so he had me transplant around places. Next year I was digging them up...good times

We gave a lot away for free, posted on neighborhood message board and unloaded bunch, still threw away a lot. Took us ~3 years to fully get rid of the day lilies
 
I have hostas around the two trees up front and along the edge of the old patio out back. They do seem to get a bit bigger each year.
yeah, they'll do that. You have to split them

I do want to get one of those giant man eating hosta's

I apply plant food and nutrients twice a year so I am adding to the problem. I had a nice little side hustle for a few years. I would split some hosta and sell to the neighbors.
I just give any plant I split away.

My neighbor had me split bunch of her hostas and i took what I wanted in return (her request). I took about 3 wheel barrows full of hostas to my yard and she later asked me when I was going to get time to split and take some hostas
 
I had a rechargeable, didn't mind it. Only maintenance was the blade, and remembering to plug in the mower the night before. Wound up swapping mowers with my dad, and took his gas mower off his hands. I had the last model before they started making the batteries like a drill and easy to change out, so I had to do the whole yard on one charge, and if the grass got too long, it wouldn't work. My parents' house has a lot less yard, so they could do the whole thing easy with the mower.

With a gas mower, I have to change the oil, add gas, get it to start, etc. With the battery one, I just flipped the switch and went. Will probably go with one of the multi-battery setups the next time I buy a mower.
yeah, I think i'm getting electric, but need I'll need two batteries and one I can easily swap out since I have half acre. Takes anywhere from 90 minutes to 2 hours to mow and longest battery mower I've seen is 1 hour life. I like idea of having a "quiet" mower

I do like with my gas mower I can generally problem solve and fix it when it breaks, but after 13 years it's falling apart. Part of the deck broke so passenger side (HA) front wheel is hanging on by one bolt, it works just fine until you adjust hit and not sure how much it has left, other bolts have vibrated out. My Toro snowblower has similar issue where some of body pieces are loose from bolts falling out, I should replace some this summer and tighten things back up.
 
Damn 7 am meetings on a Friday. Guess it's much better than 4 or 5 pm
I’ve got a 3 and 4pm meeting today. And a double birthday party to throw off here at 7. This week can’t end fast enough.
 
This reminds me, I should go check my baseball card collection at my parents' house, and see if I can get rich.

I can't do this anymore, my parents gave up on storing them at their place for me... Now they are all my nephews
 
On my 2nd mug off coffee.
