    I'm judging everyone in this thread and their crappy yards.

    My wife sent me this pic this morning of one of the river birch trees her Dad bought and planted for us for Christmas. The first thing I noticed was all the leaves in the yard. She sent me a text a few minutes later saying "Don't worry, I'm going to rake the yard today" without me saying anything :lol:

    Note: I've been out of town for the last 3 weeks

    Most of my yard is tilled dirt or corn stubble.
    Plenty of untilled left-over crops.. and weeds. Chicken poop here and there. Lots of lumber and junk from the not-really-getting-anywhere pole barn project. Leaves... Torn up targets... One of those tarp garage deals...
    A funky pontoon boat.

    In short... you'd hate it.

    Yeehaw!

    That is funny n matter how :dan: it is. :lol: Just so veryone knows and I don't get someone jumping on me about it. I have been joking and didn't mean to offend anyone if I have. Seems some people take things a little too seriousely around here sometimes. Well, if your not flipping off a camera that is.

    If for some reason leaves begin to bother me ill pull out the rake. But my buddy has some huge way over powered blower that I once used to plow a trail to my stand and I am not gonna lie it was enjoyable, I could prolly blow my a whole drive way full of snow with that thing lol

    The wife just runs the mower over it a few times and mulches it in. It's work for years and keeps me out of it. I want it to stay that way !!!!! Sign me up as a :hater:

    My house is in the middle of the woods so leaf blowing for me is pointless, everytime the wind would pick up it would need to be done again - with no end in sight, so after the first year I just gave up.

    I do however keep a leaf blower in my truck in the winter. I use it to blow the snow off my truck whenever we have an overnight snowfall. I usually plug my truck in at night so the next morning I unplug it and plug in the leaf blower. You'd be suprised on how fast a good leaf blower can clean off 4 inches of snow on your truck....:o
