Congratulations!

We celebrated our 33rd last Friday! I have no idea why Kate puts up with me—must be that Speedo! =p
First, Congratulations and Happy Anniversary!! :party::clap:

Now excuse me while I go and bleach my eyes! :surprised:??

You'd never know I only had an 8,000 square foot yard by all the brush I dump. Before I had Soupie I'd make 2'x4' bundles of branches and trunks and fill lawn bags with smaller chopped up branches that the city would pick up.

We have around fifty 65 year-old English Yews in the back that have never been trimmed. There were loads of dead branches that I cut out (there's a neighbor's fence about 10 feet from them and that area was filled with dead growth). The yews are mostly on their property and I'm now cutting the stuff overhanging our side (the dead brush did come from her side and she was okay with me culling that out for the sake of mosquitoes).

In the winter, the yews bend all the way down to the ground, so there's a whole lot of them to trim! I do it all by hand. I find it faster and easier - it doesn't take many strokes to cut even 6-inch thick trunks. But it is tough on my crappy shoulders ... =(

My latest dump runs have been boring, mostly cardboard boxes and basement crap.

But this is the kind of dump run I like!

I can see the work I've done, Cheech likes the added backyard sunlight, the grass is filling in nicely, and I can really fill Soupie's bed! Truckie Stuff! =p

grabbed three 7-foot branches from my neighbor's pile (they're vets and these were too big for them)

pretty secure for the 1.6 mile trip, LOL, one ratchet strap's on the bumper. these are so intertwined it would be hard for them to fall out, especially at the 25 mph speed limit =D

I can't wait till tomorrow, it's like Christmas in July!
You are the happiest busy person I’ve never met!? Refreshing!

Drove out to the last part of the Washington coast I hadn't been to yet. I'm still getting damn near identical gas mileage as my 19 Ranger.

dropped off the 5g at mechanics shop for the rear brake problem yesterday. get a call today that they cannot get the parts for several days. ? I thought all of the parts shortage stuff was behind us. guess not. I wonder if the parts for 5g rangers are always going to be limited in the states as the truck was a short lived model here?

And who does this poser think he is?
And the gall to be red too!!! :explode:

I went over to tell him off but he knew a Ranger owner isn't to be messed with and took off! (I don't think it had anything to do with me in a Speedo, it's kind of hot here - pun intended!). :punch:

Ranger took me to another antique Tractor show today. A nice drive through the backroads of central Kentucky. (near Paris)

This row of Massey Fergusons is pretty cool. They look the same, from lawn mowers up to the 135.

Kristina is a multitalented woman! :muscle:
I wish! ? Practicing is the key but it’s kind of fun and interesting to go through this.
Sad I need no more categories to learn after this one will be in my pocket ?
