The Just Thought I'd Share Thread

[Nikolaj]

Today, in 3 hours, I filled ten 30 gallon black plastic bags with leaves I raked and by using a leaf blower. Bagging massive amounts of leaves is a new experience for me. Yippee.
Me, outside, making with the yard work.
300 gallons of leaves. My old LA colleagues would be hysterical with laughter at the thought.
There are still tons of leaves on the trees, but the yard was looking too neglected to let it wait. I may do it all one more time, but after that, I'm done. A guy who lives down the street I've already set up for snow removal is anxious to do work before winter. He drove by, stopped to talk and seemed disappointed I was doing the leaves myself. Today was just a fraction of what will need to be done before winter but I felt like getting a start on it.
It feels a little awkward there's someone who lives so close waiting for me to be a source of income for him. Does anyone have any similar neighbors anxious to work, maybe too anxious? I'm grateful and all, but feel a little pressure. Oh well, doesn't matter, much.
