ckf Posted May 13, 2023 Author Share Posted May 13, 2023 It's a beautiful spring day here in northern Vermont with party sunny skies and temps in the mid 50's. I spent the morning at a local country club getting some video for a charity golf tournament. The tee at the hole that I parked by to fly had some sort of air gun that the participants shot their ball towards the green. I was at a golf course, does that count? @SSFB @HSR 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SSFB Posted May 16, 2023 Share Posted May 16, 2023 Just finished the first lawn cut of the year. Golf related, my first round of the year wasn’t until April 1st which is a week or two later than usual but I already have 10 rounds in. Playing a three round tournament this weekend. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Foot or two of snow on the ground and then three days of 80+ degrees temps made quick work of it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mainecat Posted May 19, 2023 Share Posted May 19, 2023 Pulled the pool cover Monday and finally got the water balanced, pool temp is 64. Had a frost warning Wednesday night….wifey had planted her flowers so she was worried but alls well. Off to hop on the JD to mow the lawn and then put the loader on to put in 5 yards of mulch. Nice and cool here now 65 degrees 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fortunately back then the local store was more than willing to sell 8 to 10 year old kids a pack of Swisher Sweets, lol 1 hour ago, Mainecat said: Yup the bloodsucking buggers are out here.

The problem with the black flies is that they get in your eyes, nose, mouth and ears when they swarm you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She would do it, but I don't want to think about what the blades would look like after, lol. She would be fine with our lawn, but I also do the neighbors in exchange for plowing. There are several things over there that she could get into. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
