Tuned up my weed whacker and did some serious damage to the back 40. Then I spent a couple hours with hand snips cutting the (wooden) weeds that were too tough for the weed whacker. Finally, I battled (and mostly lost) with the vines that have taken over the two 40' storage containers on the back of my property. My arms are covered in scratches, and not for Eddie Vedder reasons, either. I can get a brush trimmer attachment for my weed whacker for about $100, and I'm now seriously considering one. There's still a lot more vines to tackle, but I'm done for now. I've got to return a raccoon trap to the local animal control officer and do some banking. Most days I enjoy being a crazy redneck who lives in the woods.
