    I've already mowed four times this year and as soon as these rain chances move out I will be bailing hay. Let's hope sooner than later.. But yeah, cutting the lawn is a pain. Might turn the yard into a rock garden or at least dream about it for another couple of years.

    Buy some goats! Of course they will eat anything that's not bolted down..

    I have a 3/4 acre lot in town and am serious about turning it into a rock garden. The farm is easy with an cub cadet riding mower but then again I want to turn the cub into a race tractor and get goats.

    I have a 62" belly mower on my tractor but I don't water my yard, so I don't have any grass to mow.

    Have had goats a couple of times here on the farm, goats have zero redeeming qualities.

    Have you ever roasted one? That is at least one redeeming quality.. I have a few Hispanic farm hands that roast goat and one of their wives even makes goat cheese. Good stuff!

    People who talk with an uptick at the end of every. single. gd thing they say...like every statement is a freaking question. That may be THE most annoying thing I can think of at the moment. I'd rather hear fingernails on a damn chalkboard than to listen to someone like that talk.

    I was watching YT vids about tomatoes a minute ago and some millinial jackass with a pony tail who needed a bath was trying to explain how they trellis tomatoes in their hoop house. He couldn't muster one statement that wasn't toned as a question. Holy father in heaven, after ten seconds I wanted to stick a screwdriver in my eyes and ears just to make it stop.
    "Well we like, tie a string from the hoop house to the plants? Then we train the plants up them? Until like, they're secured all the way up the string? While we go through and train them every week? We like, prune the limbs of of'em and stuff?"

    I like, literally wanted to throw that mental frack into a vat of bubbling acid? Like, that would be such a relief? Damnit, now I'm doing it.

    A yurt: looks like a tent on the outside and a hotel room on the inside. We claim we are camping this weekend but we are not really camping. It is too nice to be camping.

    Although, the A/C is nice at night since it is May and feels like July.

    Also, staying in an RV is not
    Camping. It is mobile homing.

    Old rant I know but again rude people in hotels. Don't let the door slam don't talk loudly in the hallways either late or early. One other too the fake eggs at hotel breakfast nook, why do they bother to try to shape them like eggs? Just make scrambled eggs.

    People loitering in main thoroughfares and egresses.

    Maybe I could just shorten that to 'people'...damn people.

    People that put luggage in the overhead bin behind their seat by several seats then expect people to part the sea so they can get back to their bag.
