...Good thing I can hear my M80s outside, down the street and part way around the corner.

...... but I can live with it, let him spend the $5K

......and then slowly recoup that $5k off of you while mowing your yard

86 bucks a month is cheap, my guy charges 25 bucks per cutting that doesn't include anything beyond cutting, edging and trimming the yard and we have a small yard. I prefer to do my own nutrient, herbicide and pesticide treatments anyway so that's no big deal.

I've owned my share of lawn equipment over the years and as long as I am economically capable will continue to pay to have the work done. 'Let me see, what will I do on my off day ... fishing or yardwork?'

'Let me see, what will I do on my off day ... fishing or yardwork?'

'Let me see, what will I do on my off day ... fishing or yardwork?'

'Let me see, what will I do on my off day ... fishing or yardwork?'

Good Lord what I would do to have my wife have an attitude like this. I'm all for doing things when they are fun, and sometimes projects or little things around the house are fun, but chores and the like just suck the life out of me. I would so much rather pay someone to clean and mow the lawn but she won't have any part of it whatsoever
