I think you're supposed to start and finish in the same day. At least, that's how I do it.it was knee high. By the time I finished it was waist high.

Sorry, I wouldn't have made a joke about if if I had known.With my bad heart, my bad back and the tall grass - not going to happen in one day. I mow for 10 minutes then take a break for an hour. Repeat that several times a day.

That pic is not my proper "yard" - that is one of my forest/meadows near my shop. That is the area I would mow with a tractor. I mowed that one line with my push mower so I would have an area to walk thru to get to my neighbor's shop (the buildings in the background) and house without tripping over stuff hidden in the grass, and without having to go out to the road.Sorry, I wouldn't have made a joke about if if I had known.
Sounds like you have a much bigger yard than I do. Looks like it, too, from your photo. In fact, your place looks much more inviting than my place.
My ad-hoc range is only about 50 yards at best.Can we come to your place to shoot? I'll bring beer
Ahh..max range for an AK..Perfect!My ad-hoc range is only about 50 yards at best.
That meadow is one of the places I often see deer coming thru
You need some grazing animals. Preferably something that tastes good.Today I finished mowing my "lawn".
When I started about a week ago (a day or two after it stopped raining) it was knee high. By the time I finished it was waist high. My backyard is kind of a proper lawn - mostly flat. But the grass has a lot of the wild grass in it, and it is lumpy. It really should be removed and replanted with proper sod or at least reseeded with proper grass seed. The lawn at the entrance of the driveway is an area I killed off from weeds when I moved here, made it flat (but sloped up) and seeded, so it is much easier to mow.
The wild grass is thick stalks and grows high fast - so I wind up bending it over with the conventional mower. I really should mow it with a flail mower first but my flail mower is broken.
Anyway I wanted to get the grass near the house manageable so I can keep it short during the summer.
I may have to hire someone to come in and mow the meadows around the house as it takes too long to mow with the walk behind flail mower. But I will decide how to handle that come Aug when the grass starts to dry out and fire danger is increasing.
Ahh..max range for an AK..Perfect!
lol j/k fanboys
A neighbor has goats. I've been tempted to ask him, but I have no fences and he mostly keeps them within fenced areas.You need some grazing animals. Preferably something that tastes good.
Nice!
I guess I'll quit bragging to my siblings about the squirrels and bunny that I see in my yard.
The thing about nuclear missiles is that they can undershoot/overshoot & veer off course - rather easily. especially those from third world countries. US missiles are purportedly quite accurate, but I would not count on the accuracy of nukes from Russia or China, and especially N. Korea, being so accurate that those meant for Portland or Seattle, that they do not miss by tens or even hundreds of miles - in any direction.
IIRC, Portland is a secondary target - i.e., theoretically not meant to be hit in the first wave. Seattle/Puget Sound region, with its many military installations and being a primary/major commercial port for the west coast, is a primary first wave target.
I have also read that at least some Russian missiles still target outdated targets - such as decommissioned silos in the midwest
Caveat - IIRC, at least one person somewhere, maybe here, has disputed one or both of these assertions. Either way, I would not count on a being a mere 50 miles from a target as reducing the impact of a nuclear exchange. As the old saying goes, "close enough" counts only in horse shoes, hand grenades and nuclear devices.
OTOH - I do prefer to be upwind of targets rather than downwind, and preferably have elevated terrain (hills/mountains/etc.) between me and the targets, rather than be line of sight.
I won't disagree that for many brand/models, there is planned obsolescence.
I picked this up on sale a couple years ago:Howdy. Barging in for a quick question. Any ideas for a SHTF gas mask? Not cheap, Not too expensive?
I want to complete everything for a just in case situation...
Thanks
