So if a shot rolls of the roof and goes in does it count? If so is it called a bank shot?

Bought the the broom from a retiring chicken farmer for $250, hope it works well along curbs as that is where most of the crap sits. Morton I like you truck. The gate looks long is that so it is not so steep.

thank you! That is exactly why it is so long. to keep the mowers from bottoming out when loading them.

Good question Chris,I guess you could. I'll ask my 9 year old daughter when she gets home later. I put it there for her. I think its comical how people pick out little details in the background, thanks for noticing.

LOL, It's better then what I played on when I was a kid. All I had was a milk crate nailed to the telephone pole.

Joesph I like them all except for the ransomes bobcat, It is hydro, but I feel like I have no control. It is for sale in the spring, hardly use it. 52 inch toro love it T-bar is great, it is what I learned on back in college, it is what I used for the first 2 years. I could cut big and small properties, as well as hills and ditches. I have a love / hate relationship with my walker. Although I must love it more than I hate because we put 625 hrs on from Sept. 07 to Dec. 08. The other 48 inch toro I bought this year for 1600 and use it for back up and to learn on. The crew calls them Little T and Big T

02Duramax you should see when I take off my hat and safety glasses.
Lawn Freak I think it handles it fine, other than need to beef up the leaf springs, has the straight six in it, decent on fuel runs like a top, Hoped to get two seasons out of it but every spring it wants to go another season. I like the color too, we call her "Old Blue" and everybody around knows it. Probably my best advertising. Saw a 09 the same color at the dealer, tempting as they are almost giving them away. Thanks

Nice setup...I especially like the shop. I also like the pic of your son carrying you with the mower. Good luck this season.

Thanks Bill, the shop is a work in progress. I tell my wife its my sanctuary. Good Luck to you also, For 25 I'd say you have a good thing going on. What do you do in winter and how long is your regular season

Thanks, man...I really can't complain. Everything is going pretty well. This season my main upgrade will be a shop. I need to find something.
To answer your questions, my season goes from March- early January. I usually have about two months off. I just relax, start prepping for next year (office work and repairs) and drive the wife crazy.:laugh:

Looks good, if it was me i would have a longer piece of pvc to hold rakes, shovels, etc.. just because with my luck i would be breaking handles. Like the setup of your house and shop. Looks like you have a nice size lot. Good luck this season!

Thanks Lucky Star, we like it too. House is nothing to right home about but the location is perfect. 90% of my work is in three small towns all less than 15 minutes from home. Lot is 1 acre and pie shaped with roads on each side. The driveway goes straight through so I never have to back in.
Thanks the best to you also

Here is a couple of work pic's from the fall. Wanted a easier way to handle leaves so we threw together this rolling deck. Made the sides higher on the trailer for the fall. Sure beats a pitchfork. The dump spot is free and not far from home. Co-pilots name is Pauley.
