    I just googled. Retroactive to 1/1/25 for no tax on OT.

    Those Warthogs look like they’re in full battle rattle. Son was a F-15C driver I’m likely prejudiced but for a non stealth fighter still think they are the bad*SS fighter every built :usa:

    My choice today was weedeating the roadside ditch or moving wood to the house for polar vortex 25/26. Now you know how I feel about weedeating.

    Most people do weedeating after they mow. I do it before to have it over with. I would much prefer moving wood over either mowing or weedwacking

    I’d prefer shoving a sharp #2 pencil through my eardrum over mowing and weedeating. :thumbs:

    I'm not that bad, but certainly do not enjoy it...my neighbor is 55 and has mowed yards professionally his whole adult life...I was just thinking yesterday, while mowing BTW, he's spent more time mowing in a year than I've done in my whole life! Yuck!!!

    I just push mowed the front and side yards. I think it looks better. Plus i use the bagger. I use the tractor for the back yard. I enjoy being out there getting away from life for a while.

    I like to weed wack first around the edges and use the mower to pick it all up using the bagger. I don't have a very big yard to mow so it is quite enjoyable.

    I do weed eating 2-3 times per season and usually it is on a different day (basically when I get fed up with the way the chainlink fence looks and around the driveway garden). I hate weed eating so much that I do gymnastics with the mower to cut down most of the taller stuff at the edges. Maybe if I had less edges to do that would be a different story.

    We usually have a lot of planes flying heading to Oshkosh. La Crosse is a stop over spot for many of the planes headed there.
