    When you came out of the house, and started running, first thing out of my wife's mouth was, he's running like Mr Bean, I completley lost it. not kidding. Killer job! Blown away when you said, Elsinore. I had every cr 125 elsinore since the beginning, 73'-74' had the green stripe on the tank, 75' had the red stripe, like that one, and the 76' was first yr all red frame and tank, Marty Smith's replica RIP, then I got the 79' 250 with red engine, and put the fox air shox on. boy I miss those days.

    I lightly topdress my putting green every week with a .5mm graded kiln dried sand and it is the biggest pain in the butt when it comes to bentgrass putting green maintenance. It's 1,200 square feet and I put down 200lbs of sand every week. It really keeps it smooth and firm and true but it's a pain in the butt. I don't mind spraying, I LOVE THE MOW EVERYDAY, but I hate the topdressing. The cocoa mat I bought does make it easier though.

    Admit it, lawn work is mostly just an excuse to accumulate tools and toys.
    Any tips if I have the opposite problem (not tools/toys an excuse for lawn work) but rather - my grass is too high at the sidewalk and I'd like to lower the turf?

    I was just wondering about the sprayer you build a few years ago, when you turn it off does it drip or does liquid still come out. I was planning on building one with a solonoid valve thanks

    Thanks for sharing Connor I am considering an entire lawn leveling project this coming year. I think I will be replacing the wheelbarrow with a gorilla cart. Looking at some of your old videos got me to plant some dahlias in my beds... hope they turn out as good as yours!
