Had a nice cool day pole clipping viburnum and cutting the lower dead out of spruce trees. Now here is where it gets weird: I did a spring clean - up. Yup, I raked the leaves... and cut the grass. No ####. Can you believe it? Its not as bad as it seems as I was able to bang out a 730 dollar job all by my lonesome without having to break to much off of my ass. I even was able to dump at the township for free which was right down the road.
I was actually a little scared to rake the leaves all by myself so I tried to line up some help but he never showed so I went down to see if these "friends" of mine could help. I got to their place around 9, they were still sucking down bong hits but seemed eager enough to at least look at the job. When they saw it they were talking about 2 days, walk behind blowers, gallons of 2stroke mix, dragging tarps with lawn mowers and putting the leaves on a 20 foot trailer that don't even dump.
After they left to go back to sitting around smoking pot and talking about all sorts of other useless things I went and raked the crap onto a tarp and threw it on my dump truck, was home by 4:30.
Then my kid was trying to get me on that ####### tramapoline which I am hoping blows into the neighbors yard so I can call it an "act of God" and leave it there. Of all the things that keep me awake thinking about killing my wife that is the main one. I pretty much forgave her for everything else except for buying that thing.
Tommorow I am going to pick up a nice load of wood and chip what I made on Saturday. I am planning on dumping the chips at the guy who won 98 million dollars of lottery money house. He's got a sign out that says he wants chips and he is close to the job. Last time I saw him he told me he almost called the police on me because I dared sit in my truck in front of his house. I was meeting the head contractor there to look a tree job on his property and knew we were coming. I could barely keep from telling him off, I might have said something to effect. I did help with the job on his property, the head contractor smashed a couple little plum trees with the spar cause he's a frenzied mess and boy, did he underbid that job. Think this lottery winner would be inclined to give me a couple bucks for the chips?
