If I had nothing to do the day a cop pulls me over for some crap reason and I know he can't get me on anything i'd love to try the "are you detaining me officer or am I free to go?" on them when they try to question me.

My dad is trucker and all the time when they get pulled over they ask what he is hauling and where he is going. Legally as a driver he is not suppose to say so he will tell them its non of your business.]]></description>

Yes we also just finished round 1 finally.

Dimension is your friend this year for early breakthroughs.

Although I only saw some poking out on bare edges ..

Mised the flush of dandies going to seed early on many properties.

Most customers have been good about remembering how crappy its been and how it effects timing.

Others though dont seem to remember last week let alone 4 weeks ago  and think everything should already be done.

I saw alot of poorly cut lawns last week  clumps everywhere, stragglers, matted down grass and just all around shitty looking.

And yes we had a few turn out like thay too unfortunately.

Back to the grind.....

			<description><![CDATA[Hello, Gents (and I did see a woman LCO out there working it like a pro too)!  Second year of business in the Davenport, IA/QC area.  No worries- I present no threats - got about 9 solid accounts mixed commercial/residential.  Still a full time office rat but was tired of seeing a final product of a days work in the form of a stack of paper.  You might have see me around - instead of a truck I rock a Mazda 6 with a 8 foot trailer - ha!  Sure saves on gas but gotta have tough skin with all the heckling. I gotta a piggy bank called "truck".  Great people in this biz - even my jerk of an ex-roomate.  Hope to see some familiar faces here and out on the routes!]]></description>

			<description>Hey Guys!

I recently moved from out of state.  I have more than 15 years in the business; formerly from the Indy area.  I currently operate in the Holland area and I still have a lot of capacity to take on full service accounts.  I generally start with a mowing or snow plowing contract and then build from there.  I am a licensed pesticide applicator in MI (3a) which I currently run a permagreen magnum and 1-3 gallon sprayers for touch ups, etc.  I have a decent amount of experience diagnosing turf disease, broadleaf weeds and grassy weeds, etc. I have a lot of irrigation experience but I am mostly interested in servicing/ calibrating current systems.  Mulch, shrub trimming, aerations, snow plowing, salting, etc.  

I am currently looking for additional full service type accounts.  If you are considering thinning out residential or commercial clients and you are looking for a competent lco to take over, let me know and we may be able to work something out.

Thanks!</description>
