Have you been out much?  I've got my new favorite route.  Fresh paving, awesome sweepers, and low traffic 😍

Unfortunately not.  I replaced the battery a few weeks back, but every day that I could get out was rainy or wet.

The honey-do list has to be getting pretty short at this point.

Took this today. The solo tree in the middle of the field looked really unique to me.

That's awesome. Reminds me of One Tree Hill in New Zealand, of which one of the greatest songs of all time (in my humble opinion) was written.

Finally got to redo these floors. 30 years of wax on them.

Busted out the backpacking hammock today....Sad to say I've only used it one time on a trip...

Caught a few fish today. I was hoping to have my daughter catch a few but she napped for the first hour or so and missed all the action.

Put about 240 miles on the bike this weekend between Saturday and Sunday in the beautiful weather.  Saturday was solo, but when out for a ride with a friend on Sunday.

Figured now is a better time than ever to fix the backyard that’s obviously been neglected for years. Bought a thatchet for $40 from Lowe’s and it does the job quite well. 

Still patchy in some spots, but MASSIVE improvement on what the backyard once was.

@Kyle i see lines in your future!

First cut!?!? I think I'm 8 in. You gotta alternate direction with those circles! But damn, the time lapse is great! I should try and do that next time.

[AtomicSkier]

I've cut 5 or 6 times I think.  My neighbor without much "grass" has only mowed once.

i was going to do it last weekend but we had a fam emergency. the weekend before something else came up. it had to be done today. i do this pattern when my wife is busy and can't mow the front with a push mower. it's too large to mow that frequently prob 3.5 acre of mowable area.

i think it's a 4 gal tank but yeah it's cheap. personally i think it's bullshit that what i put into a lawnmower is subject to road tax.

Ah gotcha. Hope your family is well.

I never thought about that road tax included in gas costs but now I'm kinda pissed about it too. I'm going to think about that every time I fill up the gas can. Damnit. Fuck.

Why are there random cups just sitting around?

Hopefully refinishing the landing is on the to-do list as the boards are beginning to look a bit weathered.

[JFskiDan]

Mines been cut 3 times, and all three times it really barely needed cut.  I guess my grass just doesnt grow real fast, which is fine by me.  

[PSUFrankenstein]

I cut mine for the first time Saturday.  Playground construction took up all my time when I wasn't working.  The backyard wasn't too bad, but the front was getting long.

I have a JD diesel and buy non - taxed "dyed farmers fuel" from the local oil man, saves a lot.  Also Gator mulching blades are fantastic, you have to mow a little slower for best results.  About 2 acres...
