Good luck!! Hope ya bring home the bacon

I don’t think you’d like my neighborhood……… hahaha. There’s usually a box springs and mattress in most yards

When my aunt was older I would sometimes cut her grass. She would yell at me over the motor “skin it” and grab her skin so I knew what she meant haha. We hit lots of rocks and roots the customer is always right, especially when it’s your aunt and she’s making delicious fried chicken for after mowing it’s funny, things are coming full circle. I started mowing a rental property last week for a buddy, I’m back in the pro lawn care game hahaha

Warning: I’m about to throw out a stereotype I used to work on a lawn care crew and that 2” grass phenomenon was almost always associated with older customers. If the grass got anywhere close to 3” they’d start hollering on the answering machine about needing somebody to come out and bail the hay in their yard before they started grazing livestock on it. Then when you mowed it they always wanted it cut lower, you had to take the pin out of the deck on a zero turn and keep your foot on the pedal for when the blade scalped the ground. guess what their yard consisted of? Dandelions All the yards that looked good and green we mowed at 4” and none of them were owned by older folks

No worries man, I do that a lot too haha

I’ve got 4 jobs, it can be a drag! we have 5 kayaks, used to have 6 but one blew off the dock into the lake haha. I got 3 of them for free, one for $20, my wife has nice little pelican sit on top that I think she got for $200 or $300 back in the day, and she has a Jackson liska that was $1,000. Luckily the one that disappeared was a freebie. I honestly enjoy fishing out of all of them, they all have their advantages. The cheap ones are easy to pick up and use on a quick trip. The Jackson is 90 lbs so you better pack a lunch if you’re carrying it alone but it’s 1000x more comfortable and stable . It all depends on what you’re looking for. me personally, I like a canoe better unless the wind is blowing. In today's fishing world, a canoe is almost forgotten about. Money makes the world go ‘round and retailers can make a whole lot more off a kayak than a canoe

Cool to see! We get SO MANY calls about that exact same scenario, people think they will drag their human children into the culvert and eat them. I’m not kidding. I ask them over the phone why they want me to get rid of the fox, they say because they have kids. What??????? then you have the other camp. There’s a golf course neighborhood I’ve done a ton of work in over the last 15 years that is loaded with foxes. Nobody has any chickens, high end retirement community. Another company like ours was hired by the golf course to catch a fox that was digging up the course. Once they caught it, the locals were ready to burn down that company haha. They even called us and asked what we did with the fox, I assured them it wasn’t us that caught it haha. oh the joys of human emotions

Isn’t chickamauga next? I might have to sneak down to a weigh in

the sky is falling , causing catch rates to decrease

I like throwing weightless stick baits and frogs on 50-65 lb braid. In the past I’ve used mustad brand, I’ve got some seaguar to try this year.

Cheer up ole pal, I’d say this particular Muskie fishery is pretty healthy

I’m going to remember this thread and report back if the wind ever blows from the east. My guess is it won’t happen for a few years If the wind is blowing backwards across Indiana I’m getting in the root cellar………… I actually do remember it coming from the east when I was at the in-laws in NW Ohio a few years back, but it was at New Years and all water was frozen

Well you know me so there’s one

Again, it’s not like there’s a force field around you lakefront home preventing you from driving to different water

He was warming up at 100, crazy. Some guy did make contact and it came off the bat real hot, but thankfully went directly to the center fielder. His change up was 91

There are a whole lot of bomber plugs in every store I walk into , especially the cabelas I went to in MI

That last sentence must be very true…… I just ran by our place to check on my chimney patch and the mouse traps. The neighbors were out on the porch and informed me that a house just up the street a couple hundred yards sold for $1.5 million, and it’s not on the water. I nearly fainted, but apparently it’s brand new and quite fancy with 3 car garage

I would also go with “no” you even hear Pros who are experts with electronics say they can’t see bass sitting on bottom or in weeds with the latest live units

You need to start wearing overalls and carrying a shovel, it’ll scare them off

I think I heard yesterday it was le Claire.

Yeah it’s crazy . I would imagine our house might have cost less than 100k to build in the late 80s. Now they are going for over half a million, people from CA and NY buy them sight unseen granted I’ve already heard of some folks moving right back to CA after they attend a few committee meeting and realize how country we are

Oh ok, gotcha. I guess it passed clear lake and amistead Gotcha thanks!

Whoa!!!!

Sounds about normal, some last longer than others . I’ve seen crank batteries last 10 yr

Same here. I’ve always gotten 5-6 years out of $75-$80 batteries, not fixing what isn’t broke
