All the BS in West Virginia has Sprung into Spring

Happy Saturday morning and April One West Virginia, Jim, Ken, Bud, Steve, Roy, Craig, George, Denny, Pat, Neil and all the Mountaineer Crew. We have ripped another month off the calendar and in my woods winter is gone, Spring is hear and no more white sheet. But that makes it grass cutting season and that also makes it Bikini season! So we started the month with rain and storms and 1.5 inches of rain starting yesterday at 0800. The wind should be here about 1100 and tapper off about 1700 with winds at 25mph and the say gusts to 50mph! Sunny this morning but I don't know about this afternoon with the wind, I suspect it will be cloudy. We start the day at 52° and head to 70° later. I hope the yard dries enough to mow!

Hope everyone has a great day and let the BS fly in WV all Spring long!

Evening Rod and Jim! Want to hook up a welding outlet in the garage but it is taking longer to rummage around to find the parts I need!

Good morning everyone.

Looks like it's going to be a nice day here. I'm thinking of getting out and trying to do some trimming in the front yard (to make it look nice in case they have bible study Tuesday morning) and then see about getting the mower up and running and get the tall stuff knocked down even with the short stuff.

Had a good night (me), my wife not so much. She's having back/leg pain issues which affected sleeping last night. Otherwise she's feeling better than Friday when it started for her.

Do we realize how old we are when we know what that's about? I remember the commercials, I remember the song. I was a kid, but I remember them.

Have a great day guys.

Good morning Jim, Sorry your better half had a bad night. Hope she gets some rest today and he back doesn't hurt!
I should have mowed yesterday. I may do it this evening when I get home. As for the trimming, it isn't high enough yet! Maybe in another couple a week it will be to that point.

Steve, I went bunny hugger several years ago and bought a coarded lawnmower. Las yea I bought a battery mower.
No oil to change, no stale gas to worry about and no pulling a starter rope until I am too tired to mow! Lol
Hush the button, I'll the handle and starts every time!
