Funniest part- 2 hurricanes blow through, and the m'fer is now dropping acorns. 100 mph f'ing winds, and 2 weeks later still dropping acorns. Dick.
mmm... pancakes.

fact.
It’s November, freezing at night, it’s already snowed and the leaves on my 2 biggest trees are still green. Grew up on the Oregon coast with evergreens. Fucking deciduous trees are a pain in the ass. Love the shade in summer but man I cleaning them up. And the gutters are the absolute worst. I’ve got 20 trees on my small suburban lot. 5 ponderosas and the rest varying deciduous. I blow them onto the lawn and suck them up with the lawn mover. I’d vote for the most Mormon maga asshole mayor if I could just blow them into the street once a week and have the city pick them up. Leaves are literally my least favorite part of being a home owner.
Live Oaks. Beautiful when covered in Spanish Moss in Lowcountry, annoying as all get out anywhere else the rest of the year.Quote:

I can’t wait to season and burn the shit out of this tree.
so I find it ironic that people who don't own houses or if they do the leaves are still sitting there but they come to the bike area trails TO blow leaves
I love trees. I have a small yard, 2 apples, 2 Italian prunes, one small maple with roots more on the neighbour’s side than mine, and a fantastic Doug fir in my back yard. Picking up the fruit, cone and leaf litter from the yard and eves bothers me not at all. Donning borrowed spurs and belt and climbing the fir 6+m to remove the lower branches for fire guarding is an adventure. Wonderful carbon sequesters. Building a rope swing with my daughter in the maple. Shade when the mercury exceeds 35C. Understanding there is a whole other world happening below the soil, as big or bigger as that above.
Wish I had a bigger yard with room for more.
6+m? how many inches is that? less than a rod? more than a fathom?
About 20 to 25 freedum foot units south of the poutine curtain.Quote:

Looks like it's going to become a bug's paradise, the birds are already enjoying it.
I joined the forty-v club, this thing blows! Always starts, no blue smoke. Switch the battery over to the monster of string trimmer for summer use.
My neighbor cleaned up yesterday, I’m doing my final blow of the season.

I don't mind the leaves as much as I mind the ticks.
Ticks suck.Quote:

You should try the 730 CFM version. The leaves don't move, the earth actually rotates out of the way. You can find them refurbed at a reasonable price.Quote:

fuckin' baller!
I have three huge sycamore trees in the yard that typically wait till mid-December to drop their leaves. In a lot of years I have to wait till spring to get the leaves up because they get covered in snow. But for whatever reason they started dropping leaves in late September this year and I’ve just been getting them up slowly by bagging when I mow. It’s been super convenient but I’m worried about what’s going on with them, I think my cooling bill would double without them.
I look for those every fall but I never find them either. I've also seen someone using one of these on a five-gallon utility bucket but can't find any of those.Quote:

Perfect blowing conditions… cold temps, dry leaves, and a stiff tailwind. Listening to tunes and getting paid
I learned recently that we have fireflies in WA, and BC as well. Haven't seen any lightup but I guess I've seen the daytime dark fireflies.Quote:
