been reclaiming it from nature for 2 years now.

started mowing and weed wacking at 6 am until just now (3:42 cst). looks like a golf course. whole shebang that i worked on is about 6 acres, rest we're leaving heavy timber.

incredible waste of gas, time, etc. but i wanted to do it just once. going to sit outside tonight, look at it, and drink canadian windsor.

have a good weekend all.

i've been trying to take care of my 2 acres with no power tools. 6 acres would take me a LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONG time.

i got a scythe. dang, when they are sharp, they are sharp. i cut myself sharpening it.

i wear heavy boots and try not to whack my foot with the thing when i'm cutting long-grass with it.

sounds like a Mission Accomplished moment. if you got it all weed whacked down that should reduce your fire danger. that's worth gas & time for sure.
