I had a Deere in my first marriage. I lost it in the divorce. I miss that Deere.

 

[db1959]

my son is finally old enough to do it. I think I have push mowed maybe 3 times this year,
I still run the weedeater though

A kid with a weed eater isn't a good idea. Ask me how I know

 

[actaeon277]

I have 2 deeres. They're antiques compared to that one. I still walk to p/u the pigs' trash

Neighbor's kids leave stuff laying around, wind blows garbage in, and I cut one side of the subdivision entrance (lots of garbage there).

I need to bolt a small garbage can to the side, like a bathroom can.

When I was a kid every day was walk to school day.

Amen to that. I never road a bus to school. Now kids who live in town ride a bus. This is a small town and the longest it'd take to walk to school would be 15 minutes.

me running the weed eater is my way of still having control. I need to have control of how my yard looks. I love mowing. Hubby won't let me do it anymore. Says the boy needs to start doing it. I grudgingly gave it up.

I used a weedeater from the time I started mowing, which was about 8. You learn not to wear shorts while using one, no permanent injuries though.

kids on our block are picked up by bus to ride to school that is 4 blocks away. That really pisses me off. The boy never went to that school, I've always kept him in charter or charter type schools.

Only one time did my mom ever attempt to mow the yard. She mowed for about 10 minutes and quit. She didn't know how to turn the mower off so she left it run and walked away.

no shorts?

 

[Birds Away]

anyone remember those rechargeable trimmers that you had to bend down or get on your hands and knees to use?

 

[GLOCKMAN23C]

I recommend pants while weed whacking.

I would weed eat everything but the weeds. I had one hell of an imagination when I was young. My grandpa demoted me to a scythe

the lady next door to us still has one. She is afraid to run a weed eater and she won't let me do it for her. She uses trimmers and bends over to do it. I sneak over and use the weed eater when I know she isn't home.

shorts and no shoes is how I roll. Sure I get a few nicks on my lower legs, but it's all good

and the battery lasted until you hit a weed bigger than a pencil

It's obvious you don't let your weeds get to tall.

well duh

I am so OCD with my yard. if it gets to tall I just tell the hubby "Mow it or I will" and it is usually done when I get home. I don't know why he won't let me mow anymore.

Anyone here want to give Psycho a bath? He needs one bad.

I quit wearing flip flops when I took a chunk out of my left foot with a rototiller a few years ago. Socks and shoes when operating equipment.

That's the one. I used to have to do a 96 unit apartment complex every week.
