    Dude that sweet mower you have + you working at it makes a hell of a nice looking yard!

    I think you need a pool, a baseball diamond, and a hundred yard gridiron lined out.  ;)

    no lie!!

    ya think my side yard is ready? :lol:

    Thanks fellas! That view is from atop the (above ground) pool deck looking out at the back 40. As I've aged...like a fine, I have gone from football/softball field mentality to a 3 hole par 3 mindset. 🤣

    Maybe I can interest you in one from Swedish Husqvarna?

    Personal experience - made the leap to a zero turn from a big box store. Ended up with a Husqvarna 54" zero turn for $3500. Was a nice upgrade from the 42" regular riding lawn mower....for 3¼ years. During this time, the cut did leave a small but noticeable strip of taller grass. My research showed this was a common occurrence with Husqvarna. Mind you, I only mow from April-October. Ended up losing a transmission (zero turns have 2 transmissions) and the other was starting to slip. These transmissions are sealed units and not repairable. Naturally, however, they are replaceable. The cost per each transmission (part only) was $759. Adding in the cost of labor, the total would be $2400 to repair a 3 year old lawn mower. 

    I cannot speak for their other products, but the zero turns are what I determine to be inferior. I do know the mowers sold at big box stores are a far lesser quality mower. 

    Anyhow, just some food for thought for anyone considering a riding lawnmower/zero turn.

    Heading out of town on Thursday, so I have to cut it tonight. Otherwise, it'll look like trash when I'm back in town. The good news is that the dandelions are dying!
    I LOVE MUSIC.

    That fence looks real nice. I miss having a privacy fence in our yard.

    So after a one year hiatus, STRIPING SEASON is back! Also, I got a pool...hence the hiatus. Yard was an absolute disaster for such a long time--very, very frustrating for your Juggler. But we're back, BABY, we're BACK.

    Planted these perennial flowers a few weeks ago and was concerned how'd they do since the soil right there is not the best and there's not much room,  but so far so good!

    Love the hoop.  We have a few kiddie ones but that looks legitimately rugged. 

    I'm a goddamn pop a shot champion with the kiddie pool hoop

    Is that an Anthony Sylvan?
    Is there a hot tub as part of it?  (Can't see that well on the phone to zoom in)

    Just so you know, I had a 60’ x 12’ lap pool with 8’ x 8’ spa and a shit ton of kool deck built in 1994 for $24k. I hear pools are ridiculous now.

    also, like the boat owner, the two happiest days of my life were the day the pool was finished and the day I sold the house with pool 🤫

    24k wouldn't buy you much, these days, unfortunately. 
    Fucking cover is 5k.
    Coping we have to redo is about 15k.
