this is kinda out there so if necessary remove it .

im in the process of cleaning up my property now that its spring here.

i have next to no landscaping as yet.

my driveway is pretty good but thats it,basically i have 4 acres of trees.lots of hardwood and softwood.

i have been removing as much of the dead and hard looking trees and thinning out the rest.

its starting to look kinda park like.

i have lend of a huge wood chipper that i have been putting all the brush and tops into.ill post pics of it in action later

i save the big stuff for firewood.

anyway i have been wondering that once i get done should i plant grass between the trees or just let it grow up into ferns and other woodsy stuff.i plan to try to average 10 or so feet between the trees,this will encourage them to grow tall and allow me room to work around them.

when i started you could hardley walk between them

i should mention that i dont like mowing lawns but i do have a good variety of riders and tractors at work i could use.

and i really hate pushing a mower. 

thanks for any input ...

That $500 is a sound investment in the land (remind him of his toys when you are telilng him this...) and tell him that it could be much worse....like $500 in shoes, $500 in jewelry, $500 in clothes,  $500 in lingerie...(oh ..umm....never mind that one...he'd probably say yes to that )...but this is will only increase the value of the land...and how could he possibly argue with that....

Paula

i think you and Sherri should maybe do a bit of that lingerie shopping together...

maybe you could give her a few pointers in that department.

after all Highwind says all the time what a BABE you are and in my opinion Sherri is quite a treat to so see if yo can shop together.

just dont be shopping for any OPE together

later chris 

Will you kick his butt for me?!

Somehow I very much doubt Sherri needs any help in any department that she would need pointers from me...except maybe regarding some wall decorations....and I'd be happy to lend her a hand there....

Paula

P.S. Don't believe those babe rumors.....Highwind is pushing 90 at least I believe and has 200/400 vision. 

I have for the last year been trying to get Paula to post her picture so we can all see if she is a babe or not. I've not been within a 1000 miles of her, and that is because of a strong self-preservation instinct and not wanting to end up with some of my parts preserved on the wall where she keeps her collection of fuzzy round dice.

She might be a shy little/average/oversized thing. I think she and Sherri should go lingerie shopping together to help her overcome her shyness, and then they could pose draped over your tractor in various poses which should do wonders for boosting membership in the forum. And we could vote for our favourite OPE gal. (sorry Buttlint, you won't be allowed to compete)

Paula,

Depending on how much you overflow your lingerie, having 200/400 vision might be a blessing.   And 90 mph is how fast my foot will be moving when it contacts your small/average/wide load backside for the past year of insults.

The rock wall is one of Chris' prides so far.  He did all of it by hand in the dead heat of summer, I thought he was crazy as he had to dig most of that hole out by hand.  The doors that were there before were more like shutters.  They were at least 3 feet off the basement floor.  Not productive to getting anything in or out of the basement.  But the finished product was worth it.

As for lingerie - well I really don't think I'll need any if he's out under his soap box.

Sherri

If you don't have free speech, what do you have?

Didn't mean to get off on a tangent....

As for YOU Highwind

Lint was already kind enough to post my picture...in a red bikini, no less....what else could a guy ask for?? Sheesh!
