Name Something you didnt understand adults liking when you were a kid, but you understand now

I measure the size of the yard by the number of beers I can drink while mowing it.

The biggest yard I have had was 5 beers.

Current yard is 2 to 3.

MUI??

BPH? Beers per hour

45 min on the ZTR in the front yard and there is a cup holder
2 hours on the tractor in the pasture

So, I take it you are driving with an open container and in addition operating dangerous heavy machinery. Oh the humanity.

Heck no
One beer and my lines would be more crooked than they already are now. Two beers and they would look more like a figure eight. I’m a light-weight.

Ok, current conversation has sparked a new one. Yardwark has already been mentioned. However, I doubt a kid even notices the lines left by the tires. It’s true craftsmanship to keep them straight. Every week, I alternate my pattern to prevent ruts.

To your point, my best friend and I growing up always mowed the neighborhood lawns like that simply because we thought it looked "professional." At 12-13 y/o we didn't quite understand why the neighbors were willing to pay us double what we were asking. Nowadays you can't even get "professional" service to give you lines like that.

I never liked and rarely made up my bed as a kid but now I must get into a made up bed.

See I've never understood that.....the damned thing is just going to get unmade again....everyday.

We were outside this morning burning a small pile, clipping weeds, waiting for the grass to dry so we can mow. Looks like the rain might move in early so beer-thirty could come earlier than expected.

It’s always Beer-thirty somewhere

Yeah.......my landscaper does that too....

Seedy calls it the laundry fairy.
He doesn’t know how it happens. He just puts the dirty clothes in the hamper and eventually it ends back in the drawer or ironed. Magic.

I alternate too when mowing and it pisses me off if someone mows the next time the same direction that I did last time.

Are you paying him/her in rubles?

Since we are being allowed to ask prying questions, how long did you stay with her after you discovered her love of the nose candy?

Better question would be how long did she stay after he ran out?

That is actually a very good way to get the clumps of grass that stick to the under side of the deck to fall out. Like CD's "magic laundry," it's really amazing...

I was going to ask about his modeling stint...
