Nostalgia4Butts posted:i cut this lawn a week ago Forgive me Dad thread, for I have sinned.  My mower broke about three weeks ago after finishing up most of the yard, except for this one side patch. I tired a new carb, air filter plug and poo poo and just said gently caress it and bought an actual new mower. Went to Lowe's during their memorial day sale and knocked a whopping $30 of the cheapest honda-powered mower they had. It seems well built enough, but all the plastic crap worries me a bit, and the hopper is laughably small.  before/after   The backyard was a shitshow, probably 8-10" long in a lot of sections. mulch would've clogged it constantly, and it clogged up the side chute quite a bit, too. Now there's just rows of piled grass clippings all over the back yard, but at least it doesn't look abandoned anymore. Garden's doing well, at least. The rows are carrots-lettuce-arugula-kale, I think. Gotta thin it out, then till more poo poo and plant some other crops, but it's getting late in the season.

Got a job interview for Merrill next week, but it's in the Phoenix area... I may have to start getting acquainted with the thought of living in Satan's taint instead of laughing about it.

I can't keep plants alive if I leave them outside. They just roast. We're still 10* below the normal summer temps. Got a row of flower pots with tomatoes and strawberries in my dining room now. Seeing WW tonight. Stoked.

Kind of wish I had a house and a yard/garden to take care of but since I've spent 3 of the last 5 months in the field there's no way I could do that so I renewed my apartments lease for a year. When I lived in Florida I used to go home on the weekend and help out with my parents lawn/garden, it's weirdly satisfying and Washington has so many awesome plants/flowers that bloom in the spring and summer. I remember seeing pics of Lingcodkilla's yard, dude has an awesome yard up here.

I could actually have a decent garden like the other ground floor folks here but it would all just die or something when I go out to the field for a month here in about a week. I've spent more time in the field this year than I have at home, poo poo's kind of ridiculous. My West Point cadets are kind of butt hurt about having to spend a whopping FOUR DAYS in the field with us. Mine keeps insinuating that he want's some time as acting PL like some of his classmates, I've already told him he's out of his goddamn mind to think that I would let him tell one of my NCO's/soldiers what to do.

Show doesn't pick up from there either. If anything, the story beats get dumber. There's a scene in episode 10 or 11 that's just flat out amateur. You'll know it because the first thought you'll have is, "they couldn't find a stunt person for a shot or two?"

Attach a single private to his command for a day. Make the cadet "officer in charge of raking grass" or sorting rocks by size or something equally banal. Secretly give the private permission to wander off, fall asleep on duty, and set things on fire for no reason (assuming you don't already have a private who does this) so long as he doesn't talk back and simply meets all criticism and corrections with a fish-eyed stare. Berate the cadet mercilessly every time a task is not performed in the time you were expecting it done (never tell him the expectation in advance.) Demand a 15 minute PowerPoint on a task that only requires 10 minutes of uninterrupted work. Detach the private for a different working party, but don't change the goals you set for the cadet to reflect a 50% reduction in manpower. Require a draft evaluation of the private before the end of the next duty day, requiring him to stay to 9 PM to finish it. Lose it, then steadfastly deny having received it. This will either drive him to suicide, or fully prepare him for officer life.

I would have rented you my studio apartment for chump change but I think you were in the field at the time. I'm a one hour commute from JBLM though. gently caress if you like to garden I would have saved the drat place instead of the love struck kittens I just rented the place to in May.

What's the best place to get a free FICO score if your bank/credit card issuer doesn't offer it? Nerdwallet and Credit.com want me to sign up for their monthly monitoring and spam mail, which I really don't want to do.
