Mowing lawns with the irrigation running....

It's like the world's most retarded game... normal irrigation is level 1. Irrigation systems where the spray patterns overlap is like level 2.

Got an application in with the IBEW apprenticeship program and Metro North. Hopefully I'll hear back from one of them soon-ish.

And to address the washing mowers thing:

I fill out my hours every week with washing trucks and mowers if I don't get as many in as I'd like. Keeps the boss happy with me too says the trucks + equipment have never looked so good.

Southwick's Zoo - More than a zoo, it's an adventure!
It was are first time and we think it is a little nicer than the one in RI.
Just in an odd area. You drive in through a residential area and then there in is.
I think it started as an old farm.
