Right on sister. I watch my neighbors, year after year, spend hours, typically on a warm glorious fall day, raking, piling, raking, piling, repeat x1000. A couple of hours later, the wind picks up and sure enuff, their lawn looks like they never worked on it. Stupid. I climb onto the mighty Husqvarna and simply mow the lawn twice basically. No fuss no muss. 30 minutes max. Looks just as good as the sweat-ers next door. And if it looks like crap two hours later, who cares...I had a nice ride on the mower, coffee and cig in hand. No leaf-sweat-equity here thank you very much. You're not getting the picture here. I'm dealing with Leafageddon. I'm talking at least 1-2 feet of consistent leaf cover on my entire fucking yard. I can't mow that quantity of biomass. I mow the stragglers, which are probably what most people have for a total fall, but I either rake and remove after the big dump or I'm knee deep in leaves. Actually, literally knee deep. I put out 60 fucking bigass city compost bags on the curb last week. That's after raking a bunch of that shit back into the woods. I essentially live in the middle of a forest. You can't even see my house on Google Maps if the photo is taken in summer. Not a trace of it. There's a dozen massive oak trees on my property proper, and god knows how many in the adjacent forest surrounding me. It's fucking unreal. Kids love it tho. They see those 8 foot tall leaf piles and it's go time. I know what you're talking about as my mother in law has a bunch of oaks like that. The key is getting rid of the oaks. Just do a little pruning in the summer. That gives oak wilt a chance to get in and then slowly your trees will die. You can laugh about it as they slowly die and you remember the times you had to rake all that shit up.

Per the fuck this weather thread, it last snowed on May 16th. 168 days. That isn't even half the year. FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU I don't mean to bitch too much, y'all, but this is what pisses me off. Winter weather is liek more than half the fucking year here. If winter weather was just from liek December 15 through the end of February and then it was liek at least 40-ish the rest of the fall/winter/spring, I wouldn't be so pissed off. This is the life you live. LIke I said it in trade for a 911 and watch Gordan . O don't worry my guess is the Wall still stands up.
