As lawn hero you might consider composting the leaves and then getting a ecolawn top dressed and spead the compost over the lawn :)

As for what did I do with Ranger today? I drove to forest and put some 100-200 acorns in random spots and then thinned the woods for 4 hours. Now the Ranger sides are all muddy :p
I compost them or rake on a windy day so the house at the end of the street scoops them up.:devil::p

Church and lunch with friends, then made the Home Depot and Costco run. Apparently we disposed of the Christmas trees last year so it is time to start over.

I got my smoke LED side marker lights from Amazon. Poked my finger in behind the OEM yucky looking amber light to see if I could release the plastic clip and change the lights myself. Nope, I just don't have the strength in my hands anymore with having RA. So on way home yesterday, I stopped in at the repair garage that swapped out my rear shocks for $25 and does my state inspections & oil changes on the ole Mountaineer and asked him if he would change the marker lights. Took him 10 minutes and when I asked how much I owed, he said $5... I gave him $10.
Val,

I feel your pain - literally. Unfortunately, I was also drafted to play for Team RA. After trying all the usual treatments and suffering from their side effects, I finally found relief with Humira. I hope you’re able to keep it somewhat under control.

Bless that nice man for helping you and bless you for helping him. ??

I can't even begin to list all the oral drugs and infusion drugs they have had me try. I would say the effectiveness was there, but the daily side effects from the oral drugs really took away from my quality of life. The side effects from the 3 different infusion drugs even before infusion was finished, I would consider life threatening (like breaking out in purple hives head to toe and throat starting to close up just one example) and when doc wanted to meet to discuss trying yet another one, I flat out refused any more infusion drugs. Oh and then you have the limitations of what your insurance will cover so that eliminates some drugs to try.
Finally just settled on taking Leflunomide (the generic Arava) and 2 mg daily of MethylPred. Other than losing some strength in my hands and wrists and getting those nodules from the inflammation and the irritating dry eyes, I can go about my day now pretty much pain free. I do wear a brace though on my right wrist.

I’m glad you finally found something that works for you. It was a nightmare rolling the dice on the various solutions. They were all very effective but they sure took a toll. Don’t even get me started on insurance! ?

He's single handedly saving the planet, 1 dump run at a time. There will be no need for electric cars as long as he's reducing our carbon footprint!
I'm sure Greta would approve of my efforts! =p

Every time someone mentions how pretty the leaves in a New England Fall are, I say to myself "You don't have the rake the damn things". lol

I dropped my Ranger off at a local body shop to have a self inflicted:mad: door ding repaired. I would not have bothered except this truck is too good looking to ride around with said ding. I opened the driver door on the very corner of a concrete utility vault. Pissed me off so much it chipped off the paint and nearly pierced the sheet metal

Today was a fine Ohio fall day to go to the dump. This is material from a treehouse I’m working on getting out of my yard. This is my second load, and I still have half of the treehouse to cut down.

Picked up this 63 galaxie 500 on Monday. 352 with a cruiseomatic. I am guessing total weight was around 6500lbs. It definitely pushed the truck down hills. Told uhaul I was loading a mustang haha.
