Who's completly ready for the 2006 Season? I'm about 75% ready My Advertising peices are ready, the mowers were ready when I parked them, the trucks just need to be inspected.

The only thing I need to do is draft some renewal/Spring letters, and start advertising in another month and a half. There is really nothing left to do except wait. There won't be anything new just more work (Hopefully!)

Who is not ready, who has not even thought about getting ready?

i havn't started yet, just hagging out. trying to enjoy my winter. But i guess next week ill start to get ready!!!

 

I am ready to go. The weather has been really mild this January here, and it has felt like spring is right around the corner. Also, I got a new trailer, and am very excited to use it. I would just like to pick up a few more accounts.

 

61 days till spring.

 

I make it a point to be ready to roll by the end of January, just so everything goes smoothly once March hits.

I just can't wait to get back to work, and I want to see how my new marketing strategy works.

 

I've been working on my marketing plan and planing the next year. Just started righting out an actual business plan. Everything for advertising is lined up I just have to order the flyers/post-it-notes and give the local papers the date I want my ad's to start up again. I'm still debating when to start advertising though. I still need to move my trailer in my garage and fix some things on it and build the b/p blower rack. Other then that, just get all the equipment out of storage and I'm mowing again.

I'm still enjoying sitting around though, spring can take its time to get here still

 

LOL...I think you guys in the NE are getting all lathered up over nothing with this warm January we're having.

February almost always brings a boatload of snow (Nor'easters included) and like I have always said, March is the most unpredictable month of the year here in the NE...it can be in the teens one day and 60's the same week. Once thing is for sure, it has been a very mild January.

 

My equipment has been ready since it was put away but it will not be needed until the end of March. Still alot of winter weather to come. I think its 50 today but tomorrow the guessers are calling for snow and tommorrow night heavy snow. Then warm again. February and March have always been snowy months in the upper midwest so let it snow.payup

You just want the white gold to fall!!!! payup

 

Im always ready to continue landscaping and lawn care. I wish I could work all year round. I am not a fan of the cold.

 

I am ready to start mowing grass again. I have not completly stopped yet. I did a mulch job 2 weeks ago and did a leaf clean up last Saturday. I will be nice to start seeing the stripes in the lawn again. Doing another mulch job this weekend and then I think I am done (until someone else calls).

I still am mowing.

The only break I have had so far was 2 weeks off for the holidays in December.

 

I do hope it snows, I think we'll get dumped on in February. I think it's good to be ready to roll early, because when you rush to get your advertising and everything together in the Spring things don't come out as well. Personally I like to be "sitting Back Ready" if you will.

 

ready to roll !!!!!! mowers and trucks are ready my body is ready only thing holding us back is mother nature . its got to hold off till after march 11 tho because we will be partying down on montego bay .. just love spring break

 

I'm just starting to think about getting paperwork and all that end of it ready and the equipment was ready at the end of last year....if it doesnt snow soon I'm gonna go out and pray to the mowing gods!!!

 

You just want the white gold to fall!!!! payup

Exactly Kurk

 

i still need to overhaul the trailer i just bought (post pics when i'm done) and other than that i'm done!

 

I still need to winterize from the '05 season........Haven't even started to think about '06 yet, even though it is just several months away.

 

My crews finally finished all of our regular accounts fall clean-ups today as well as some 1X jobs that called. We now have to deal w/ all of the downed trees/branches from Sunday/Monday storm. Next week I have about 3 days of odds -n- ends to do. Then I will be prepping equipment & sending out the '06 contracts. If I'm lucky, I may get 2 weeks to rest, but as Rod said, we'll probably get a snow storm or 2 in february.

 

because when you rush to get your advertising and everything together in the Spring things don't come out as well

I'll testify for that. Never again will i procrastinate.

 

I waited all year for winter so i can rest and now i am bored out opf my mind! I work a couple days hear and there doing some carpentry for a home improvment, but he hasn't had much work for me this month. I got a ad going out Feb 1st for home impovment work. Hopefully i get some jobs from that cuz i am bored!!!!

Same here in the middle of the country,I'm all ready as a turn key operation,serviced and dialed in but you can't get too excited about this mild weather. It's fun to dream though.

 

62 degrees today here?! What the heck is wrong with this weather. Predicting 5" of snow for tommorrow. I have mower fever bad but will take a few more rounds of snow removal if you know what I mean payup payup

 

I'm ready to Rock n' Roll! I have one (1) mower in the shop getting some warranty work completed. The new trailer is ready, the old trailer, the trimmers, blowers, saws and other mowers. I'm keeping quite busy with miscellaneous landscaping and clean-ups since we are having an exceptionally warm winter, but there is nothing like cutting grass.

I've been looking for a new (used) truck, as well. I'm not in much of a hurry for this. Why take on a pmt. if I don't need it until March - April.

 

i've been doing alot of door to door calling with my new brochures!! i got about 70 1/4 acre lots to areate this spring!! Theres alot of new housing additions going up on my side of town with yards already 2 years old. I still have alot of additions i havent checked out yet! plus picked up about 5 new mowing accounts.Each yard i charge 50-90 bucks a pop! Corner lots i charge 80-$90 cause there usually bigger lots. So i got my mowers,trimmers,blowers and my sweet pluger ready to rocknroll this spring!!

 

I cant wait to get on these again this year. Get em all dirtypayup
