I was just messing with you.
I'm not always successful at it, but I try to follow the same adage.
Oh, it's very obviously working.

My Father always told me to "Take Pride in everything you so. Even if its wiping your @$$". "Do it and do it right. Otherwise it aint worth doing at all".

So I try to do just that. Seems to be working.

Dex, sounds like your father was a wise man. I'm sure you've earned his respect, too. I was raised on the same principles, and I'm glad.

I know... No worries.

Yeah. He definitely taught me a lot... I now teach him a few things

He loved the firepit as much as me.... I may have to scrounge the materials and make him one. Although his trusty tractor rim has been working for eons..

Come to think of it Dex, I have a bunch of firebrick that might work for the "grillin" side of a pit like that.
Another project would be great!
Trusty tractor rim......love it.

Dex that's fire-vanna as far as I'm concerned. Awesome job.

BTW, from your pics I see you are not a fan of weedwackin'. Do you even own a trimmer or does the sprayer take care of it all?

Very observant eye..... Around the house, garage, and any landscaping? No, I dont. I used to... To much time and always had to follow with the leafblower afterwards, to clean up.

In the pic with the empty birdfeeders , you can make out the banks of my pond and the dock. Thats the only area I weedwack. I own 2 trimmers. An Old Poulan Pro and a Husqvarna that I bought 2 yrs ago. I keep thinking that the Poulan is on its way out the door (why I bought the Husqvarna). But it keeps on screaming.

Every year I would edge with with a trimmer and until I got the Dixie Chopper this yr, I had a 52" Cub Cadet. Between trimming and cutting (I only keep 4 acres "finished", the rest just grows) I was spending about double and triple the time now.

The pond still takes about an hr to weedwack around. Only takes about a 1 hr and 10 min to cut the grass (down from 3-3.5 w Cub zero turn). I went from about 6-7 hrs weekly, to about 2 hrs. Still spend many more hrs keeping up with the landscaping... The Wife definitely keeps me busy....
