Yard work is killing me

[LesStrat]

When you live in a desert, the grass has a bit of difficulty surviving.

It was flurrying pretty hard a few days ago, my neighbor decided that was the perfect time for cutting his grass.

I am sucking down a beer right now trying to get the dirt out of my mouth. Fucking yardwork sucks

[LesStrat]

Yes. Yes, it does.

I need to mow, but it rained hard overnight and this morning.

Yardwork sux that is 100% true. Got the trailer out front has about 60 to 80 bags of leaves on it. Might get 20 or 30 more tomorrow. Outside of the house needs to be cleaned too , gutters had stuff growing in them that was a pain to get right.Oh yeah the weed spray didn't kill anything at all , did not know it went bad or whatever?

Off to Walmart for grass seed, fertilizer and all of the crap that goes with it. I am hoping to get home for under $400 at the end of the day. I have the feeling that is not going to happen. Not only do I have to pay for this shit. But then spend my summer maintaining it.

And yes, the woman across the street that got all of the work that was done to fix her pit of a yard has let it lapse again.

I spent 5 hours in the yard yesterday, and over an hour and a half trimming the night before.

I'm beat...and I never did get around to replacing some of the warped fence boards.

Last week we replaced a screen door on the patio. Today my gobot swung it open and broke a hinge.

A week is well within the usual break-in period.   :wwe:

Last week I spent about 4 hours - 1st changing oil in my truck the rest gnawing down hedges to near stumps.  Those weed eater trimmer attachments will beat the heck out of you!

This week, just a usual grass cutting - but the twist is its in the 50's and windy.  Didn't feel good.

I did follow my yard work by spraying the areas I have to trim. I shouldn't have to trim again for at least a month.

My hands (and the rest of my body) have been cramping ever since. Playing guitar was a bit more difficult this morning. I spent quite a bit of time stretching my hands before the service.

Should see the nightmare I got myself into , guy I have known for years is trying to straighten out his Moms yard after she passed away to sell the house. It is a huge mess , over an acre full of crap and crazy fences. Old broken greenhouse and sheds 2 car garage/barn. Leaves ,sticks and shrubs !
