Actually it is power raking. The machine they use puts your snowblower to shame. In.the right hands it can tear up your sprinkler system, shred the flower bed and turn your lawn into something that looks like it's ready to have crops planted in it.

And yes, your Mom will want it done as soon as I forward this information to her. Good luck with that!

LOL.. In the right hands eh?  Is that a pull behind unit or a ride on?  Don't fall for this thing whatever you do.  It doesn't work near as good as they say.

Hi, Aham.  Nice to see you here again.  My rake is a hand held unit that causes blisters.  But it works well.  I'll stick with it.

How's things?

Hey GEL,

Ya the classic rake does a great job of cleaning up the yard. A nice pair of gardening gloves might help with the blisters. Things have been well, thanks, aside from allegery season that is. How about yourself, things good with you?

[Green Eyed Lady]

Things are great here, Aham.  Thank you for asking.  Spring is springing and I couldn't be happier.  Supposed to be in the 70s this weekend.  Rain is predicted, but that's ok.  Makes the garden grow.

[Aman A.K.A. Ahamburger]

Rain is great, especially the fist one of the year, just cleans things up and gets all that dust and mold from the winter washed away.

Are you sure that's dust and mold? Some would say that it might be nuclear fallout from Japan.....

[Aman A.K.A. Ahamburger]

Ya I see that Q...  Got to love the sensationalism eh?  Massive radiation poisoning yet no deaths and we NEED to be worried and PANIC here in this country!!!  Yeah panic.... PANIC!!!!!! 

Hmmm then there is this article which I found very interesting... Is Living in a Nuclear Evacuation Zone Good for You? Fukushima’s legacy may be mental health problems, not cancer.

Most residents fled, but the Itos stayed behind. The reason was Naoko's mother, who was in her mid-90s and suffering from dementia. Naoko feared that the move might kill her. She turned to her husband and said, “'I'm going to stay with my mother because I can't leave; how about you?” “OK, I am going to stay,” he replied.............

.............Nobody died. When I visited the Itos in November, Naoko, her mother, and her husband were all fine. Over a meal of rice and azuki beans, she told me that life was a lot like it was before the accident. She cares for her mother, and her husband tends the small patch of land they once grew vegetables on. (He's now growing sorghum to try to absorb the radioactive cesium in the soil. So far, he says, it isn't working.)........

................. Given these problems, more than a few health experts now believe that mental health problems, not cancer, may turn out to be Fukushima's legacy. A recent report by the World Health Organization suggests that most of Japan will not get sick from radiation released by the Fukushima accident. The most serious consequence will be a predicted 70 percent increase in thyroid cancer risk for female infants who lived near the plant at the time of the accident. Since the baseline rate of thyroid cancer in Japanese women is 0.75 percent, this means that the rate may increase by about 0.5 percent.

Rainbows for vices!

[Green Eyed Lady]

I like my vices.  Without them, I'm boring.

[Steady As She Goes]

I like your vices too, GEL.

[Green Eyed Lady]

Awwww......thanks, SASG!  Yours are pretty dang cool, too!

[frankq]

But...but...but....what about the puppies?

They can find their own women and buy their own whiskey too. I mean, I like puppies and all, but there's a limit.....

[Steady As She Goes]

Don't let the pupies near the whiskey ...

... don't ask me how I know, just trust me on this.

[frankq]

I won't ask.........but I have quite the imagination.....
