    2 months. I cut my damn lawn 3 times already over here, and it needs it again. Last cut was 4 days ago.

    I've got spots that need it but I'm holding out a few more days. Neighbor's mowed twice already but he's on vacation and I think he's bored.

    I’m tempted to go pull the mower out and give the cord a yank…

    But the gravity on the couch is overpowering. :D

    Mother nature being a biatch today, and dumping on me everytime I go out to work on it. Managed to get that first patch burned it, but soaked again now. Heading out to the blacksmith shed where it's warm and dry.

    I'm sure you can give the cord a yank sitting on the couch.

    I replaced the serpentine and supercharger belts as well as the idler pulleys on the Tacoma this morning.
    That was fun.

    Haven't cut a blade of grass since I moved. I did however spread 1050 bags of mulch. No that is not a typo. Still beats cutting grass.

    No tractor to move bulk mulch around your property? Bagged mulch is easier to move around. That's a lot of empty bags to dispose of.

    I've got the little 1 series tractor with pallet forks. The plan was to do a tandem dump truck load and spread with the tractor, but I found pretty quick that the soil that was used to back fill the yard is fairly soft and after a couple runs over it the ruts start to get a bit much. I also haven't filled the tires or added spacers to the tractor, and it can get fairly sketchy in a couple spots around the place. A younger Kenny might be a little less averse to tipping a tractor over, but older Kenny isn't really in to that sort of thing. It was however very useful for getting the bags distributed. It will do about 15 bags at a time on the pallet forks so that's how it got moved. I did do a little reshaping of a few spots with the backhoe and loader to make myself a little more comfortable traversing over that spot with a load on the forks.

    For everything in front of the house it was super useful and very efficient to get things on the ground.
