CoastalWx Posted November 8, 2020 Share Posted November 8, 2020 Was hoping to see this last night. Rocky ended the Cold War and never gets credit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Height of the spring surge and all the ER rooms were reserved for virus patients. Only 2 in the whole ER when I was there, but I spent 6 hours parked in the hallway back there. I was a puddle just either hoping I’d pass away or pass out. The pain was unbearable. They asked me to rate it on a 1-10 scale. I said about 100. I had one last spring, spent 10 hours at the ER, most of it waiting for something to help with pain. Im not sure what they gave me but it helped for a few hours. I ended up getting it zapped, after I got one zapped I passed 12 one being 10mm, that one hurt coming out but it was better than day surgery to get it zapped.

My wife said they gave me toradol too, hard to remember I was also curled up in a ball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HIPPYVALLEY Posted November 8, 2020 Share Posted November 8, 2020 Leaf blowers are OK for final clean up but I swear raking is faster for bulk leaf cleanup. Couldn’t get the blower started this afternoon and I was amazed how quickly raking went. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have an acre with a tone of leaves, PITA. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
backedgeapproaching Posted November 8, 2020 Share Posted November 8, 2020 Nonstop hum of leaf blowers here this weekend as well. My brother in law lives in ORH and has an ungodly amount of Oaks on his property. Ive never seen it, but he actually plows them with his pickup truck into the woods..ha. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It just seems like the bulk clean up progresses faster with a rake and tarp. It’s the secondary pick up that becomes a PIA with a rake. Of course I’m not using a Husqavana pro series either so I’m sure a higher HP is faster and more efficient. Maybe next year I’m going to go up a level with a new blower.

That's another step that sucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You just need to blow them into the street. That's how it used to be (or maybe still is?) in some of the CT towns. IIRC from my hs days, places like Killingly and Putnam would have all the streets just lined with leaves getting ready to get picked up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If there’s an early snow or early winter they sit there and rot all winter. Nothing worse than bagging though 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damn, that makes clean up easier. I tarp or blow into the woods. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
