Special Edition for thosevwho were there.....

 

Saturday coffee gentlemen.

 

Good morning. Enjoy your Saturday. We are house shopping.

 

i do not miss those Saturdays

 

Good luck.

 

Good morning. I'm cleaning up leaves because I own a house....in New England, it's 31 degrees

 

Not sure if I'm going to get around to raking leaves this fall or not. Then again, my maple won't even lose all its leaves until February so it doesn't really matter.

 

The dilemma here is, will there be a break in the fall rains long enough for the fallen leaves to dry enough that the bagger on the mower can pick em up.
Too much ground to rake. When they stay wet I have to use the industrial backpack blower and it is NOT nearly as efficient, lol

 

Hahah we only gotta deal with mesquite beans down here! And thankfully mine doesn’t drop a bunch. My neighbor must have a different kind, it starts to sound like hail when theres begins to drop

 

We’ve got an ash in the back yard that drops pointy seed pods all summer long, and a huge tipu in the front yard that dumps yellow flowers EVERYWHERE during May/June. Will be interesting to see what our elm and cottonwoods do this fall/winter.

 

We had cottonwoods growing up, they dumped a lot. They also search for water sources underground, so we ripped ours out and put fantex ash trees in

 

I need you to come up here and tell me what the hell I have haha. I’m still trying to figure out all these Arizona plants, even after being here 13 years.

 

I remember it well, my friend! Mesquite trees are the trashiest landscape elements you can have. Constantly dropping bark, twigs, pollen, beans, branches, little leaves or a combination of the above, lol! Plus, you’re endlessly trimming the thorny little spurs. But, like I ‘splained many times to people, if you live here, (when I lived there) anything that grows and provides a little bit of shade is a beautiful thing!

 

Hahah all I know is mesquite and some cacti……. And acacia trees, those will give you the best pin stripes!

 

Finally finished up my fireplace/TV wall yesterday. The wife is happy, therefore I am happy.

 

I think palo verde trees fit that bill better than mesquite, at least most mesquite can handle a little wind. Palo verdes are always falling over or breaking limbs if a mouse farts to hard

 

We have 3 hackberry trees growing here that we brought with us from Camp Verde and 3 ash trees we grew from seeds that were found stuck in some stuff that was unpacked when we got here. A little bit of the old homestead.

 

I usually do mine with the mower too but I haven't had to cut grass here since July. Didn't even burn an entire tank of fuel in the mower this year.

 

Need some @gosolo steel to fill those shelves.

 

Got the ride cleaned up for our annual subdivision's trick-or-treat hayride.


I'm kinda getting over RSV I picked up from 2 of our kiddos. I typically fill up a big drink of jack n coke. Water said I need to drink water. So it'll be water all day....until the trick or treating starts. I guess I'm not using the translucent toyomafia Nalgene since she'll be onto me then. Bring on the jack and coke and jack.

 

Might have to steal this idea! We’ve got several friends coming over for pumpkin carving tomorrow afternoon and this would be fun

 

What up Cru!!

question for the bbq guys has anyone used these probes? I’m tired of shitty Amazon probes and meater can kiss my junk those things suck.

 

Also some food for thought.

 

I haven’t used this one but it’s on my list for when my current one eats shit. I’ve heard they’re the best.

 

That’s been my findings as well. They are a professional unit meant for commercial kitchens. They are on sale right now for $167 from $240 so I think I’ll jump on it.

 

Which one do you have?

 

I have a cheap ink bird that works good, but I’ve heard good thing about the thermoworks
