    We got a commit from a recruit in the class of 2027, just doing math and them being born in fall 08/spring 09 (Tebow title winning year) feels hard to believe.

    How early is too early to mow? Asking for a very good-looking friend that's in his prime and definitely not old but really doesn't want to mow when it's 97 degrees later today

    It's an electric so it's quiet...I'm thinking 8am is ok today because people will understand...then save the trimming/blowing til after 9


    Anyways these are the types of things old people think about...like my friend.

    I usually will wait until 9. 8:30 sometimes. My neighbor started mowing one time before 7AM so idk why I even bother waiting

    I think you’re wide open if it’s an electric mower, your only concern should be morning dew gumming everything up. 9am for trimming and blowing seems fair.

    If I bend over in any other way than the way you’re supposed too, back straight bend with the knees, it pops my SI joints out which results in some excruciating pain for days/weeks/months depending on how long it takes for them to pop back in.

    I took Jr to Cub Scout camp along with five other 8 year olds from his den all last week from 8:00-4:30. It was all I could do to make it inside the house, shower and get him cleaned up and changed when we got home before I sat down on the couch to recover for the rest of the day. My legs from my knees down ached liked they did when I grew three inches over summer between my Freshman and Sophomore years. I still haven’t fully recovered.

    Yeah I normally do 9 or later but with it so hot this weekend I was about to make some enemies.

    Plot twist: I'm lazy as fuck, errrrr, I mean I didn't want the grass to die so I didn't even mow it yet. Just letting it go until Wednesday

    Did powerwash the seams and cracks in my driveway to get it ready to repair, though. But that's like playing in the sprinkler

    we live on a small lake that has a shit ton of canadian geese, so goose shit is everywhere. most mornings i have to spend a few minutes chasing them out of fenced area bc our dog will eat said shit. less than an hour later my wife says they are back usually. it sucks but was also expected. our neighbor is obsessed with keeping them off his property. will constantly shoot some kind of gun at them to scare them off (don't THINK its a real gun but wouldn't surprise me). sometimes he will do this shit at 6am on weekends. also it doesn't work. i hate him so much, awful neighbor in every way it's not the only bullshit he does

    I've told this story before, but it may be applicable. When my kids were little, we had a huge asshole old fart next door neighbor who hated kids and would frequently call the cops on my 10yo sons for such crimes as riding bikes in the street, which was against an ordinance.

    He also HATED the quail which were everywhere and liked to perch on his back fence and shit. So he would take a pellet gun out the back door and plink away at them.

    Mrs constant saw him doing it one day, and called the cops with her most terrified housewife voice, "OMIGOD THE NEIGHBOR IS OUT IN THE YARD SHOOTING A GUN AND MY KIDS ARE OUT NEARBY!!!"

    The cops in our tame subdivision never got any such excitement, so minutes later the sirens came screaming down the street and several cars screeched up in front if his house and rushed the door.

    Mrs constant gave him the sweetest smile. They moved soon after to a nearby no-kids neighborhood.

    Maybe try that?

    I work with a guy who played on the OL for Rice after Sam transferred there and he said Sam didn’t know / care to learn any of the plays or even where to line up. Basically still thought he could improvise and outrun everyone while at Rice… I can’t imagine how much worse that worked out for him at Michigan.
