I'm Getting Too Old For This......

Please pass me the Tylonol....been putting all this backyard work off too long....time to take down the Ligustrums.....we actually hired someone to do it but today decided he was taking to long to get to it so we jumped in ourselves....felt good to be outside working.....I went out at first to just raise the TV wire to my man cave....it had fallen off the nail on the pole....this is how the day ended up....I still have to remove the stumps....

When will it end....I need to go fishing....

Wow!!! It looks like you got much accomplished today... but still have a bit left to do too. It will all be finished one day... at least that's exactly what I keep telling myself about all the huge projects I have going on. There's nothing you can do but just keep chippin' away at it until one day when you can sit back and look at it and be thankful that it's finally behind you.

Nice looking place brother.

best thing to do is just go fishing and get to the projects when you can, instead of vice versa. time you get thru with all the projects, you will be dead and I will have caught all your crappie :Rofl

Now I know what keeps you and Mrs Didi looking so young, HARD WORK AND LOTS OF IT! Thanks for the pictures and story Bruce but know I'm tired just from reading it!

Buddy I feel your pain or at least mine since I'm doing some of the same stuff. It does give one a sense of accomplishment and a good excuse to go fishing.

Yes it does on the accomplishment part.....Didi said how can I feel so good and so bad at the same time.....Oh well...we did save $250....my old Sears reciprocating saw did the trick on the bushes....now, just got to haul it to the curb for Thursday trash pickup......

Clean up finished....now waiting for the rains to blow thru B 4 we tackle something else.....took down part of the fence to drag the stuff to the front (shortest distance between 2 points).....got a stump grinder guy coming tomorrow to give us a price on grinding 15 ligustrums and one copus palm stumps.....truck to the shop tomorrow....oil change and replace an oxygen sensor.....

Great job Bruce and Didi, as I imagine she did more than her share. Now I wish mine was all done, but Linda keeps wanting to go fishing. It's hard to ignore her wishes.

Thanks PPG.....Didi is a very hard worker....I would say Linda has all her priorities in the right place.....

Goodness that was a lot of work. I think you and Didi deserve a little break. :)
