Offta my next stop... coffee break.... all thius shuffling is wearin me down... laaaater!

 

That gr*ss cuttin' is dangerous....were ya wearin' a helmet?

 

Here ya go, Al. Amongst all those darn trees is a bunch of gr@ss. This is about 1/3 of the lot.

 

Oh, and that's a winter shot. In the summer you won't see near that much ground. I certainly do not cut all of it.

 

I'm surprised your outfit hung on to those 3 holers so long, real gas guzzlers. Fine plane otherwise. Lotta advantages to flying planes without a bunch of seats in them, often wonder if I'd accepted a job offer at Fed Ex back in... 78, I think, how life would have gone without the strikes, layoffs, and constant war between unions and management - and the buyouts and mergers and all the re-inventing the wheel stuff that went with that. Last 20 years with airlines, seemed they couldn't run out of ideas to waste money, most of which had been tried and failed before.

I got a tour through the Delta maintenance facility (huge!) a few years ago, made everywhere I'd worked look like something out of ancient history. Didn't see the DC3, maybe it wasn't there yet. I hear that and one or two other planes are going to be in the Delta museum opening there sometime soon, if it hasn't already.

 

Original tread Dunlops on my sporties were slippery on wet, but did fine on the Glide. Haven't been on the Avons in anything heavy, hope they do as well as a lot of folks say. When tires get smooth, doubt any brand would fare well. Never hydroplaned on a Harley, but the lightweight metrics had me skating across water a few times, kinda scary feeling. Especially when the back end sinks down way lower than the front and you wonder how deep that dip is...

 

I was gonna shoot 9 holes........but, I ended up enjoying the day with a few cocktails and the company of a few dawgs.........oh well.

 

Seeing that much property to maintain gives me heart palpitations...Finally getting out of here, had to wait for my BIL. Mid 60's goin' to mid 70's...later

 

I just gotta head out and mail a ups package.....might grab 1 nna 'dem 5 o.oo grinders at the deli round the corner......get the ol a philly one while I'm there.........she always says I don't do anything for her ......

 

It is a lot of work, especially with all the trees. If it ain't leaves, it's limbs. The lawn cutting isn't bad, though Takes about 1 1/2 hours of riding around, which I enjoy most of the time. I have a comfy seat! Trimming is very occasional, as I try my best to make sure everything can be done with the rider. Besides, some grass sticking up here and there never hurt anybody. There are no perfect lawns in my neighborhood.
