I'd ask this in the fat thread for the best input.
Did get up on the roof. And back down. Dropped three full bags of leaves off the roof and only burst one. Two out of three successful drops is okay.
******* robo scammer calls are leaving messages now which they didn't used to. Annoying. Yesterday I supposedly needed to call regarding my subscription to some antivirus thingie or it would automatically renew. Oh, no! Today I need to call this investigative service prior to my hearing with "the magistrate judge" or face "suspension" of my social security number.
I've got more respect for a common house burglar than these ******* parasites that prey on vulnerable adults. If someone was running for president and said "I'll put a stop to robo calls by the end of my first year in office!" it would be more important to me than most of the **** they spout.
Just wait until the political survey/ask for money calls start........or have they already? I don't pay much attention to the land line anymore.
Hit the leaves hard this weekend.....got the back and side yards pretty well done, plus a last mowing (very short, so easier to rake in the spring). But the front yard is the real obscenity, 3 huge Autumn Blaze maples - luckily they are almost completely bare. So will probably run the leaf vac after work all week, and likely have 10-12 bags to set out at the curb on Thursday night.
My daughter had a tree that they were getting cut down. Unfortunately, a storm blew parts of it down before the tree people got there. Put a hole in the neighbor's garage. My daughter's insurance was liable for the damage.
I have 7 bags from the back yard. Got all the leaves, then dropped the mower down one notch and gave it one last? mow. Unfortunately one tree back there is being stubborn and holding onto it's leaves.
Tomorrow I might come into work a 1/2 hour early and leave a 1/2 hour early so I can get the front. Just a mow should take care of it. I should be able to get that done in 30-40 minutes (20 if I don't bag.)
I finally broke down and bought one of those inserts to hold those lawn and leaf bags open. It makes a difference.
Furnace ran all weekend so I guess that's fixed. Had to get a new control board installed.
@wxman1 plus I'm pretty sure Boxster just volunteered to be the new adoptive grandfather and default babysitter for you!
Based off of LittleWx's current aiming skills I don't think he will be allowed in Boxsters house so I guess he will be coming to ours every time.
Can you send me a link to that insert for the lawn bags? Appreciate it.
In the jury selection room in Denver county courthouse and guess what it smells like
Give him a toothbrush & some Comet; let him clean it up. He'll learn to aim right quick!
Speaking of land lines. Found this in the garage yesterday along with a 1986 receipt from Radio Shack. Would have been the year I bought the house and was wiring the bedrooms for phone line. And, yes, this was tossed in the recycling. I don't have a land line anymore.
Note to self, clean guest bath.
Company just left. I broken one of my cardinal rules of retirement, "Don't get up before 7:00 unless the house is on fire." Little boys loose in the house at 6:30 is sort like a house fire though.
Threw a 3/4 size football in the alley with littlest grandnephew this morning. Was a good test of rotator cuff rehab. Shoulder was hurting from work outs and leaf nonsense but throwing didn't hurt. Boxster was accurate but lacking a tight spiral. I wasn't ever known for throwing a spiral anyway but I am still going to blame the smaller ball and not the fact I haven't thrown a football in a couple of decades.
I think any thought I had of bagging more leaves just vanished with the current downpour of graupel. 2019 and it's cray cray weather can EABOD's. Starting to doubt fall yardwork is going to get done. I need several days where it isn't wet or frozen and don't think that's going to happen.
Edit: Now turned to big flake snow in spite of it being 38 degrees.

Just thought I'd inform you all that @VeloClone and I are still carrying the vanguard for RTT in the college football pick 'em game. We are down to 5 survivors.

Ehhhhhh...Just thought I'd inform you all that @VeloClone and I are still carrying the vanguard for RTT in the college football pick 'em game.
BITE ME!
This comet you speak of...is that like lysol?
Also MrsWx tried to blame some of it on me yesterday, nearly had to have the kids hold me back.
They sell it at Home Depot. Most likely Lowes as well. Kind of weird on how to fold it the first time. They have a video you can watch or be stubborn like me and just swear at it a lot until you figure it out.
