Right in the middle of rakingf the yard, now this makes ice fishing look like a pretty schweet deal!

At least all I have to do is rake them onto a tarp and drag them to the edge of the property and dump them! No bagging for BigFish!!

who made you do it, fishchick?

gilligan · 11-08-2003, 01:10 PM

it's funny you say that. i just got done telling my wife its too"windy" to rake leaves

it worked!

BigFish · 11-08-2003, 02:21 PM

No Notaro...you see our apartment entrance has three roofs converging above our door and there are two huge trees above the house, so when the leaves fall they pretty much bury the door. Every time I rake the leaves away from the door they just pile up in the yard. They look like crap and like Gilligan said....the wind is blowing and they just blow back up to the door. So I gotta get rid of em'. Boy Gilligan, your wife must be a sweetie to let you get away with that old line. "It's too windy honey, they just blow around while I rake them".

Ain't gonna be too many days till next spring when the wind is not blowin'. God bless ya'.

HAD a 100 foot tree along side of the drive way. I had to rake leaves for 2 hours. The tree was just cut down. No more leaves to rake.

I fired up the blower and sent the little bit I had to the street. BUB BYE !!!

i see, bigfish. i dont rake leaves anymore. and also the rakers are screwed up and broken. i once raked the leave when i was a child. my mom made me do it because she told me that it was the way for me to shed some pounds.
