    I may just blow them into the woods. We usually haul them off site with the dump trailer.  The past few years has been rough for leaf collection.  Snow has been falling while half the trees still have their leaves!  

    i believe those rolling blowers will even blow snow
    Yes they will.  There is a guy down the street.  He may be crazy.  He will be out in a snow storm with a blower, keeping it off the driveway.  Also, if he misses out on keeping driveway clear, He will be out with a flame thrower device melting and chiseling the ice until it is spotless.  Last year he did something to his lawn.  I can't remember what. Mixed his fertilizer too strong or something.  Entire lawn died.  Crew was out there the next week stripping out the lawn and sodding it.
    Has he said anything about your bass boat?? Seems like the type..

    How long will it take to break even on the system?  Or was there a special program that covered the cost?

    Just reloaded the freezer with a half cow. Came out to $3.49/pd all said and done. It’s a black angus and the farmer said whenever he has sent one out to be graded it’s come back high level prime. The last one I got from him was excellent and believe the grading. 


    Cheaper than I paid for 1/4 of one. I was closer to $5/#. So much better than store beef

    Agree Colby.   One of the reasons why I am helping my ranching guys protect their heads—they sell to me when they cull.

    Yeah, the 1/4 cow I got was $5.88 a lb earlier this year. I weighed the packages and included the gas for the 3 hr round trip to/from the processor. I thought that was good

    When I find good beef, I say here take all my money and don't look back.  You all seem like engineers with spreadsheets and stuff.

    Might want to stock up on beef in this hot spell.  I got some rib eyes today and vacuum sealed!  They won’t get cheaper anytime soon!

    The farm is about 25 miles from where I live the the processing facility is about 15 miles away. Guess it’s one of the few good things about living in the Midwest. Farmers can grow their livestock and farm their own food.

    It’s almost as though there’s a real cost to climate change.

    I guess you’re one of those people who thinks the current changes are all natural and there’s nothing that can be done about it.

    Agree 100%.  Start new thread in Off Topic. Trolls have no business posting in the main forum. 
    Post your crap in Off Topic. Don’t $hit on someone’s topic and get it sunk!

    That's not too bad.  I have considered a system, but our electric bill is less than $75 per month and would not justify a solar system right now.

    AHHHHHH

    Trying to find PoE Switches - Unmanaged.  5 port and an 8 port.  I bought new managed switches and they are wreaking havoc on my guest WiFi network.  No way to turn management off!  Talked with tech support for an hour.  59 minutes of information gathering and then NO - Can't be done.  Everything with enough power is backordered for a month.  Hope to be posting soon with my purchase.

    Thanks to all who weighed in on the Costco Adirondack chairs I had been asking about. Got them ordered and quickly set up today. Also put together a climbing structure for the kids. 




    I’ll echo @GrateEggspectations on the Costco Adirondack chairs. Appears like pretty good quality for the money. Wifey is happy which means I am as well. Lol
