    The vibration of the mower knocks all the bubbles out of the beer.
    Good place for the empty though.

    I drew an appropriate sized circle and drill all around the perimiter. Jig saw to finish it.

    Grass is for holding down the septic, the less I have to do with it the better.

    I turned most of my yard into pasture for the wife's hay-burners. I only have to make 2 passes with the grasshopper up and down the drive, then push mow around the garden. Win win in my book. Less hay to buy and less work for me

    I really enjoy seeing the yard after a fresh mow, but I never look forward to the mowing and trimming - would much rather be processing wood - but........I'm not a fan of processing wood in the summer in the heat and bugs either - I like to process wood between October and April. Cheers!

    Completely agree on the winter processing...it was a little too warm for my taste to be stacking today, and it was only 72!
