    Hi all.

    Well it's Sunday morning here, I'm adding in three new nodes today and responding to a few emails and netmails for help etc. Once done I need to mow some lawns. My younger son is staying with us for a week before he moves to a new city. It will be strange not to have him living nearby. I hope his new move / job go well.

    A reminder I'm going to start posting welcome and admin info over in FSX_NET now instead of here. I encourage you to sub to that echomail area if you are not already linked to it.

    Gah, just the thought of having to push that lawn mower... ah well :)

    Best, Paul

    I feel your pain! It's not been warm enough to have the lawn grow. It's the leaves from the trees that have fallen that I've got to attack. We've had rain every 2/3 days that don't let them dry enough to mulch up. I really will get to it, I promised my wife! :(

    Ah a comrade in arms :)

    Yep over here it's the middle of summer and if I don't mow each week it gets harder to keep on top of things. It's been windy here and mostly OK weather wise but I'm feeling lazy and it's a Sunday. Plus I am doing network admin for fsx and I want to eat junk food etc. hahahah..

    I guess I can look at mowing lawns as something like enforced exercise and an offset for some questionable snack food eating.

    Good luck with your leaves!

    For some reason, I feel you're channeling Doc Emmit Brown.... roads, roads, where we're going we don't need roads :)

    :)

    The only reason I don't do lawns (anymore) is because I am an apartment dweller.

    In my youth we had a large yard, everyone did in my area. It was half an acre or perhaps a bit larger full of gardens, trees and even a boulder my dad had shipped in from the interior for some reason. It was shaped like a sofa, kind of neat but it was a boulder!

    I used to cut the grass with a push mower, for years I did that. I never thought anything of it at the time but I wouldn't do it that way today. :)

    It's still active but like all echos can ebb and flow.

    I'm about but have been busy with family, work etc.
    Did a trip up to the North Island to visit my parents.
    Both are doing the best they can, so that's good, and it was nice to see them. I'm just catching up on echomail. It seems once I pulled the transportation echo this one has been full of cars talk :)
