    Man it is pouring here already........ My guess is this knocks the majority of the leaves off the trees and then I get to spend 20 hours with the backpack blower lol

    I hear you re the blower. Just spent two days cleaning up a dump truck load of leaves and pine needles up. Yard is all set for, first the drenching the next 2 days and then, winter. BIG job off the TO DO list............:ups::banana::rootintootin:

    Right where I want to be.
    I need to do it again, but when most of the leaves dropped off the one big Maple in the yard, I jumped on the tractor and ran through 'em a few times.
    They're in teeny-tiny little pieces now and it only took a few minutes.
    Prolly take someone with more trees a bit longer, but it's gooder mulch for the lawn, and they don't blow back.

    Wish I had leaves instead of those long white pine needles. With 26 mature white pines on 1 acre, they become ankle deep. Since they are chocked full of tanic acid, if you leave them they will burn your lawn down to nothing. Glad I have the tractor with the 60" mower deck and the 3ph PTO driven vac/collector system, as well as the biggest back pac blower Stihl makes. I DON'T RAKE NOTHING. I am strictly a suck and blow operator.................:rofl: :lol::thumbs::rofl: :lol:

    Yeah, got those too....all over the west side yard, and they tend to spread.
    That lawn really isn't much of a lawn. I only need to cut over there every couple weeks.......maybe.

    I think your dog is wondering why you're gonna' try burning those.
    They don't even look like sticks..... AKA, "toys".

    So after I got the new toilet fill valve installed I realized the flowmaster fill valves can actually be dissembled - found a little sand grain on the seat. Got a backup in the garage now.
    new faucet in the master bath went about like any other plumbing project - create a leak, fix leak. control rod for the stopper was too long to clear back of the vanity had to cut it down a bit.
    30min project turns into 2.5hrs:headbang:

    Anyone have thier turkey for Thanksgiving yet?
    There are supposed to be shortages due to the avian flu wiping out millions in the upper mid-west.

    Wally world had all of 6-7 turkeys in their case when I stopped to grab a few things today - hope I didn't wait too long as they already have full bore Christmas décor stacked to the ceiling
