No, it's sure not. Yeah, that's a little problem right there. Real little. I've worked on it for an hour this morning and I'm plumb give out already.Originally posted by studemax View Post
When hurricane Hugo came through town in SC, my dad was in the mountains on a golf trip. He called to check on us the next morning and told me to hang around the house, he and I would clean up the yard when he got home.
Uh....no Dad, we won't "clean up the yard" today. Not today. Not this month. Not this year.Charter member of the Turd NuggetsComment

To me it is mother natures way of helping with yardwork, at least you don't have to cut the limbs down...That awkward moment when you realize it IS your circus and those ARE your monkeys!Comment

After Hugo the hurricane, I don't like trees. Well, not near the house. They fall down.Originally posted by LORENSWIFE View Post
There's a neutral zone behind our back fence, like nobody owns it, the distance between our property and the house on the other street behind us. Trees, big ones. Pines and hardwoods.
I've always been confident that those trees wouldn't fall on the house, since typically the bad storms come from the west. It'll push 'em over on the other folks' yard, out of harms' way. Their house is a long way from the trees, big crack and a major thump and that's all it would be. Their problem to clean up.
But yesterday that blast came from the north. It blew limbs and pine cones and pine fronds and all matter of earth slam over the house into the front yard. I didn't like that. I don't feel very safe anymore, watching that happen.Last edited by pdub; July 6, 2012, 09:19 AM.Charter member of the Turd NuggetsComment

No, I've got a sweeper you pull behind the riding mower, the brushes are geared to spin lots faster than it's being pulled, and it tosses all of the stuff into a bin. Works like a champ.Originally posted by Deaf Bob View Post
About sunrise this morning I'm out there in the yard, looking at it. And I was thinking, "Mexicans." There's no way I can do all of this, not in a month of Sundays. Call in the Mexicans.
But I did it, and even helped the next door neighbor with his mess this afternoon in the heat. IMO, that's what neighbors are for. Hey man, let me help you with that.
And on the 6:00 news this afternoon the local guy explained what happened. It was a ....the term eludes me....a wave of air that occurs when a system of storms collapses. No rain, no lightning, just an almighty wind.
I've collapsed a few times in my life and I didn't knock down tree branches for miles around when I did it, so I don't know about that kind of stuff.Last edited by pdub; July 6, 2012, 02:52 PM.Charter member of the Turd NuggetsComment
