Hey McGowdog, who's your...errrr...DERMAtologist???

[McGowdog]

Now you're talkin'!

GOD.

Flashforward to Neditate: Yeah, that would be nice. When I lived in Evergreen, it got up to 79° while it was 98° and above down in Denver.

But we can't all live up in them hills, can we?

Go ahead and enjoy it for us. Someday, I'd like to have a dream home in Rye or San Isabel.

Very nice landscaping job, McGowdog. But OUCH! Those blisters!
BTW, our landscaping was done by Mother Nature and A/C provided by her as well. All we have to do is open the windows

why the heck grow a lawn? hahaha, what a waste of good hands, did you wear gloves? Rent a tractor or machine for that , common seriously grow food not lawns what a waste and water waste!! GO Gorilla Gardening its finally catching on, yes in the front yards in the cities as well!
have fun, AJ and Denise's Farm- where we live the most recent visitors were six cows we day cared , had them run in our pasture for a neighbor 1/2 mile away, he offered to give us some of his prized Snausages !

1500 square foot of lawn ain't too bad. Do you realize that rock and fabric cost more than the soil and rock? We're talking about a 1 time fee here.

I've got about 5000 square feet of road base, about 5000 sq ft of river rock with fabric and would like to get some indigenous grasses and ground cover for the rest.

I do wear gloves. But a sod cutter is a machine I hope I never have to use again. I had an existing dead lawn with sprinklers for it and I just didn't want to turn it over to xeriscaping. Maybe the rest of the 1.2 acres though. Every time I water my lawn, I think of one less sip for a tourist in Las Vegas or a resident north of San Berdino in that disgusting sprawl or those snowbirds in Phoenix. It's my water, I'll do what I want with it.

Besides, I have a retired neighbor with way too much money on his hands who's insulted me for the lack of yardwork that I've done in 8 years.

I'm really getting sick of hearing it from both ends, so to speak.

Here's my hands after cutting the dead sod out of my lawn;

I used gloves, but heck. I worked harder than a mule that day. And I ate American Fed Beef!

Here's what my hands looked just 3 days later;

Part of the reason my darned lawn died in the first place was because of sprinkler troubles last year. I've always had sprinkler problems; and here's why;











Whew! Think I'm gonna kick back and have a bloody steak.

Gonna use my Propane Grill too.

Yikes. Hope I never have to use a sod cutter again.

I guess I should ask you the same question now.

I think I once had a cardiologist but he snuffed a while back.

I'm gonna go eat some steak.

Here's my green



Took Sockeye's advice and got me a pettet smoker



I actually used prime rib roast in my second attempt at red chile.



Here's my red and green...

Chile's were great this year.

Dang, McDog! I could almost eat those pictures. Yum! I love that autumn chile that gets in the air around September/October.

I'm a little Chile'd out for now, but when it does get cold out, be good to fire up another batch.
