I hate them sumbitches with a passion…been at war with them for the last 14 years

That makes me think of the Afghani 'sport' of Buzkashi. I'll be kind, and won't post a video.

What are your goatheads? I think you showed pics once, a while back. But...I've slept since then.

Tater gun. A mold to cast bullets. Fill mold full of water. Put in freezer.
Load frozen bullet in tater gun.
Launch frozen bullet.
Bullet breaks stuff, then the evidence melts.

Use Grass killer that freezes as projectiles

Sandspurs rank as well as the jumping cacti imo.

Yep. I went barefoot for most of my childhood in Florida, but those things would still stick in your foot.
Mean kids would throw a stem full of them at your back - and they'd stick to it!

Nasty little buggers, those.

Lots going on today. You all have fun.

Yup Denver had those and when they dry up there even worse. If those are the same thing I'm thinking of.

We had those bastards in a field across from my childhood home. Mean little buggers. Took a keen eye and a good set of tweezers to get the things out.

Beer thirty. I'll be back!

Been ass holes and elbows for me today. Only thing I didn't get done was to trim a Death Star. I is just gonna have to wait until tomorrow. I am gonna join Hippie at the beer 30 joint. Fall cleaning is almost done. Another year in the books. Still a few leaves on my trees but well under control.

 

[Hippie420]

My back is paying for it dearly, but it's done for the day anyhoo.

Yes same here. I am almost done except for leaves. I had to do a major cut back on my old Cherry blossom tree. have left it for way to many years. I had to cut some 15" limbs and a lot of suckers. I still have about a quarter left but my knee wont have it. So that will happen next year.

[SubmarineGirl]

I took out a grape bush the other day. The Japanese Beetles simply devour it. Hopping it helps reduce the damage they do to my grass roots while in the larva stage. Trees got trimmed as well.

 

[MariJan]

Criminy! Those look worse than gumballs!

What are those they look like round pinecones

 

[boo]

What kind of fence. Cedar?

nope, this fence can't be seen so I'm using t posts and 2'x4' welded wire...got about 650' plus to do...now that I have cleared all the overgrowth and cut down a dozen trees to get a straight line, Ivan lays in the grass watching me...nowhere near the new fence...
