'Mornin all...
It looks like I am going to be in a fist fight against my brother and neighbor. The neighbor mowed yesterday and as my brother was leaving for work this morning he said, "I got gas for the mower and sharpened the blade." I just don't tolerate conspiracies that leave me with everything but excuses ...![]()



I love being the first on the block to mow. Normally when I put the mower up, I will tape a note to his mailbox from the "HOA".
I have to admit that when I fired up the mower, I had hopes that before the day was done ... I would find an old Chevy in the yard.
I live in town and we don't have an HOA. I always start the note with "Some of your neighbors have been complaining ..." and we are his only neighbors. He is a really good guy and we have a blast like that.Neighbor did that here. Just back from clean up.
Mow in a week or so.

I have nothing against HOAs because they do serve a purpose in protecting your property value. It would be different were I younger and not sure if I knew I was going to be selling in a given timeframe. If I am planning on living in a house until death, I just don't give a shit what its value is when I die. Overall, I'm just too curmudgeonly to allow someone to tell me what I can do on the land I own though.I am in a HOA. Used to be on the board so I know all the rules. New board members try and 'enforce' the fake rules and I just laugh.
So here about the 9th of April I have to fly to Florida to drive my aunt's car back here. If I go alone, I'm tempted to swing up through Alabama. I've never been there before. North up to Tennessee and over to St Louis, and up to Iowa instead of going through the mess of Atlanta . Anyone of you bam'ers or Tennessee folk be available if I swung through your states on the way? Also, if I end up going through Georgia instead, where are you at @OldDevilDawg, anywhere near the interstate?

If we did this right, I bet I could drag RTR out for a cup.. but yeah I'm definitely down!!Good morning everyone. @Copejunkie I may be in Alabama around then and I would love to buy you a cup of joe.
That thought crossed my mind. I'm not sure I will be able to travel that weekend, but I am looking into it.If we did this right, I bet I could drag RTR out for a cup.. but yeah I'm definitely down!!

I'd love that. I will have to see what my wife and daughter decide. They want to come along but they want to spend a couple extra days. I just want to do a fast trip.If we did this right, I bet I could drag RTR out for a cup.. but yeah I'm definitely down!!
