It's always the old guy who was angry when they closed the amusement park.

Good analogy.

I'm back in Hillsdale and surveying the damage. Looks like a psychopathic wind was swinging a big mallet wildly over its head.

I have no grass, but “mowing the lawn” means pulling saplings. And multiflora rose, and bittersweet.

And then chopping them into bite-size bits for the Solo Stove. Where have these lovelies been all my life?



I’m gonna disassemble the knockoffs I’ve been saddled with for a decade or more, recycle the steel bits, and melt the aluminum in the aforementioned stove.

Got my wife some Felco gardening shears several years ago. A rare flash of brilliance on my part.

Mine were passed to me from dear old mom who also "mowed" with a ducking scythe. I covet few things, my Felco pruners would be one of them. A drip of lube now and than and they will REMAIN sharp for a season.

I won't lend them to the unwashed (yeah I went there) 'cause it's just gross and wrong to use them improperly....and they are left-handed.

Don't hate me, I'm just that way ;)
