Sorry. Longish post. No new pics yet.
First, the house has been vacant way longer than I was told. Possibly up to two years.
So I’m battling Bugs. Lots of em. I hate bugs. Hate! The place is going to smell very insecticide for a little while.
Next is finding a cheap Riding Mower. This is proving difficult. Everyone wants $900-$1000 for a beat to hell version of what I can buy new for $1100 at Lowe’s. WTF?! No.. Your MTD with bad bearings is not worth $500.
If it comes to it I’ll grab a gallon of Diesel and clear the yard without a mower. There’s a fire pit by the lakefront I need to get to!
Crusty is showing it’s age by randomly cutting out for no reason. Very new for a typically rock solid truck. Might be time to pickup a 2 wheeler and retire it to part time use.
And Lloyd. Dear Vader. He’s 10 years old this year. Well trained and almost spoiled Dog. He’s decided to start pushing boundaries. Now? He ran out this morning and abruptly met the neighbors Rottweiler. Lloyd is bigger than the Rottie. And a 20 minute ass sniff fest began. No violence thank God but fur was standing on both dogs.
So he is being punished by being in the house with the A/C running. While I do what I need to do outside.
In the 90* heat..
Wait a second..
Dammit!

Should I feel relieved when other people on here post tales of difficulties with their beloved dogs? Because I do.

Don’t worry Dr. My wife and I have a lovely 3 year old hello lab that can be such a pain in the ass when he decides to be. Generally when we are tired or sick, he does it just to push boundaries with us.

Yes. Absolutely.
That Rottie didn’t mind Lloyd but he wanted me for lunch!

Damn, should’ve kept that Ford tractor I guess. Can’t move everything though. You may want to consider a new truck before winter comes.

That Ford was a gift to my Dad. I’ll get it back when he’s done restoring it.
I don’t know about a new truck. I kinda have Hank Hill feelings toward this one.
If I can find a nice 350 or better enduro Crusty can live another day.

Fair enough. I wasn't suggesting you get rid of Crusty, just getting him a partner.

What kind of bugs?
My Grandmother’s house had lots of surprise scorpions in it.... She lives in Georgia.

Nothing that crazy. I hate all bugs equally though. Almost everything flies and wants to be in your nose or ears. They all need to go away.

I know that struggle!
My house was built in the 1930's and was renovated in two stages. First stage was in 2007, and the second stage was just last year. Even though literally everything is new, there’s still a good amount of bugs and spiders around. Usually newer or renovated houses don’t seem to have that issue. Except for me!
Only kind of bug I’m ok with are jumping spiders. But everything else can get the fuck out.
