I just raked and thought of all of you

[Millhouse]

And I hate myself for it.

 

[Stevenson]

It's my bye week for raking. I stayed in and watched football on tv.

 

[FAL]

Used to spend hours (on different days) raking. Moved to the country a decade ago--my friend Momma Nature's daughter Windy takes care of that BS now. Now I have more time to watch FB and waste time on this board. All good.

 

[MaxwellCuse]

I'll be doing my raking today. I could care less about pro football until January rolls around.

 

[Halfmooncuse]

I have to take my rake and go up into the trees cause those fng oaks don't drop their leaves till after thanksgiving or after first snow fall!

 

[Chip]

I paid my lawn guy yesterday to clean up the leaves while I watched college football.

I thought about all of you a few times as I watched the games.

Jeezuz, Kaiser---sorry the Giants lost! Not a good day for Igls fans either. Oh Lord

I'd give Eli the Cowboys, but after that they play weaker teams and I'd turn the reigns over to Nassib and see what he's got.

My Cowboys could screw up a wet dream.

I never rake the lawn.

The homeowner basically has three options to make sure that leaves are not covering a significant portion of their lawn:

1) Rake them up or use a blower- compost the leaves or dispose of them

2) Use the bagging attachment for your mower: compost the leaf/grass mix or dispose of

3) Mulch the leaves with a mower (i.e. chop them into small pieces so they will fall into the canopy). This is my preferred option because the nutrients and organic matter will benefit the lawn and soil. Some leaf types have been shown to reduce weed seed germination when mulched into a lawn canopy (maples, others). The leaves of some particular tree species (legumes like honey locust, others) might actually add a significant amount of nitrogen to lawns because these species fix nitrogen from the atmosphere just like soybeans, so higher leaf nitrogen contents in these leaves is possible.

More nitrogen = higher attendance.

It's science.

are you smokin the leaves you just raked??

you play to win the game, not to develop a QB to trade for a draft pick.

Nassib never sees the field unless its garbage time.

 

[Cuseregular]

And I hate myself for it.

did you wear your back support and do your best to avoid twisting while bending?

If not you'll end up like the 14 other people that have called into the office this morning...

and stay off your cycle will ya, it's bad for you...

I use my mulching lawn mower, much easier on the back.

yeah try doing that with inches of snow on top of em yesterday.....

But yeah no brainer to do that. My first two rounds I do that too. Forget just the rake yesterday I had to pull out the freaking shovel! No fun. Thank God its done for another year.

You wanted to rake us into a pile, take a running start and jump into us?
