That middle grouping has a solid balance of quality and quantity

I have been saying this for months, but that Hoiball92 sure post some of the most ingenious and enlightening stuff on Cyclone Fanatic. And it's a dang shame that he has been banned.

He's more of an outlier in this particular discussion
 
I started getting a neck cramp 2 days ago. Yesterday it was kind of crappy but not too bad... until last night. I tried falling asleep but couldn't, due to my neck and a few other factors. It ended up getting so bad that I could barely move my neck. I ended up on the couch where I could finally find a position that removed all muscle strain on my neck and fell asleep for a few hours. I woke up and it's been hell ever since. I can barely move my neck without a shooting pain in the left side of the base of my neck down towards my left shoulderblade. The worst part, is that no matter what you try to do, you are always using those muscles and it hurts like hell.

When do you leave for the Derby?
 
Came home early to mow lawn. Numbnuts neighbor mowing his lawn. He mowed Friday. WTF is his issue. Think I will scalp my lawn that he likes to mow.

He mows twice, once for length the other to put straight lines in his lawn. He mows about 6-7 foot onto my property to make his lot look bigger since it's tiny. So if I scalp the first pass (won't kill it) it will mess his lines up and he will spend the next 48 hours trying to figure out how to "fix" his problem.
 
BCClone decides to try Ancestry.com. He gets a leaf, then another leaf, then holy crow, he's related to some Italian dude named Niccolo.

BC says - look everyone, this is my great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-grandfather Machiavelli...
 
That's gotta at least narrow it down to the hundreds.

There is a guy that lives across from my in-laws that does all yard work (mowing, fertilizing and I think even leaf clean up) for not just his yard but the neighbors as well. Presumable so he can make sure they don't let creeping charlie or anything like that get going that could make his bad. His yard does look very good and is always in tip top shape.

Oh we also learned last fall that he doesn't like other people parking in front of his house (city street). We were all over there for lunch one Sunday and the guy yelled at my SIL's boyfriend for parking in front of his house. The boyfriend moved the car because he is kind hearted and didn't think it was worth the hubbub. I would have just laughed and walked away or told him he is more than welcome to call the police and complain if he wants.

This is is the same guy who cut a tree down on our lawn because he didn't like it.
 
Thursday morning.
Looks like it is supposed to start drying out on Friday. Hopefully the infield isn't a big mud hole. Of course judging by some of the videos I have seen a big mud hole just adds to the entertainment.

First stage of dying.
 
Didn't say you didn't have just cause to retaliate...was merely highlighting the diabolical method you chose. :)


Dude is excessively anal retentive. He walks, runs, or drives around on weekends. He makes note of any lawns that he feels is too long. He then turns in addresses to the town police. A former police chief said he had one officer busy every Monday with a ruler measuring lawns (he was on city council at the time) and nothing else got done.

If the kids play in the lawn over the weekend, he will water and mow his lawn so the lines are in his lawn. His biggest fear is that a fence goes in. I own two of the three sides of his property. We have some landscaping done every year, I call in one call to just double check digging. I get the board of variations and permits guy at my door days after the flags show up.
