Don't apologize! Probations in GBS are like a badge of honor. Having a blank rap sheet is suspect.

Nah but just rake your leaves evenly over the lawn and run them over with the lawnmower, great fertilizer for the grass

I am unemployed.
As such, I have time to observe my neighbor, an older man than I that very much cares for his yard.

It is fall in Wisconsin.
We both have pretty large lots.

Pretty big.

There was a period of time last week, where, and I'm not making GBS threads you, this dude was out there with a gas powered back pack leaf blower on his multi-acre lot blowing leafs from one side to the other one day to the other, every day of the week. More than 12 hours a day.

I've done pretty much nothing but let the wind blow and still have less leaves than him, but if you want an example of "I need work to do" it'd be this dude and I feel for him.

That's my leaf story for this year.

I posted about this in the Suburban Dad thread but this is part my back yard right now. My entire yard was cleared yesterday so this is just from last night and today. This picture is maybe a sixth of my entire area so multiply accordingly.

The project for next year is to extend the fence all the way up to the shed and maybe clean it out and patch up the holes so it can be used as storage/workshop/tuggin hut.

Thanks. This is the second expansion we’ll be doing and I did the initial build and first expansion myself. I’m done with that poo poo and having some buds help in the spring. It’ll give the mutts and kiddo lots of room to run around in. Gonna put a double-wide gate at the back too for equipment access.

Should have called him Shop-Vac-ic-cus, since that's essentially what it sounds like.

I dunno if the dude is OCD, or is quite literally married to Peg Bundy and needs to get out, I dunno. He's... quite the character. I should write up more about him, maybe.
Aside from the leaf blowing, we both have long driveways.

Given that this is Wisconsin, in winter, his, is practically "ha-ha" breath and hand defrosted.
He mows his yard, daily, starting at about 6:30 and this continues until after the sun goes down BARRING there being a Packer game being on.
If there is a Brewer game being broadcast, he has a stereo speaker system in his garage that he can listen to, and grills to - occasionally.

He's sort of my spirit animal except for his bizarre addictions to his lawn/driveway/leafs. Like I get 'old weird dude paying attention to this stuff' but he's rocking it 12+ hours a day at ALL seasons, it's freakish. More than a full time job.

And the thing is, he's not doing a SUPER great job at it. I mean, it looks good. But it's not like a lawn care professional is out there doing it.
