Good afternoon. The Wheels and Waves Car Show is going on this weekend, lots of nice cars in town.
Yes, taking it easy, walking helps with the back but the shoulder id fighting me.

Sounds like you have a lot of lawn to rake without one....

Unfortunately it didn't come with any accessories. I picked up the mulch kit for it today ($27 with military discount). As long as I cut it often it should be ok without bagging. My neighbor has been mowing our back yard with his riding mower once a week all summer without bagging and it's worked great. Did I mention we have awesome neighbors?

I'll pick up a bag kit for it next spring if I need it. You're right, about $300 with discount.

My truck got a bit of a workout today. Hauled 3,400 pounds of concrete, and 3,000 pounds of River Rock. Home Depot had 60 pound bags of concrete 30% off this week if you bought a while pallet, and I need it for my fence. The Rock is for landscaping the front yard. I got one yard today, but probably need 2 more to do the whole front.

Yep. I'm pretty sure my F150 would have broken in half if I'd have out that much weight in it. My F250 squatted a good 5"!

I have about 275 more feet to do. 35-40 posts, 2 feet deep. Couldn't pass up 30% off., plus I only had to unload it from the truck because they could just load it all with a forklift.

Good morning Oregon and everyone everywhere else. 52, clear and sunny. Supposed to get up to 67 - 72 today depending on the fortune teller you are listening too. One of them is even saying we will get some drizzle today. If the current clear sky is any indication, the only way there will be drizzle is if I go out and spray the garden hose straight up in the air.

Good morning Ian, Jim and those to follow.
Jim, I have about the same weather forecast for here. I would like a job where I could be wrong so much and still work.
