FLASHBACK: Redneck Lawn Care…

Finally getting around to posting the only known photos of the infamous “Redneck Lawn Care” afternoon. Here’s the story; for months I was complaining about the laborious task of raking out and replanting my shady moss covered lawn. For those same months I resisted Big Lou’s insane urging for us (the Quad Squad), to rip it up 1-2-3 with our ATV’s.
So one bright Saturday afternoon I stroll out to the lawn with my shiny new tools and I see Lou who calls me over like he needs a hand with something. Instead he tells met that he and The Weave are hanging poolside and downing some brewskies. My face dropped, I knew I was in trouble. As I reluctantly catch up with them beer for beer the thought of all that work plus the urging of my pals plus the brews took hold. I would not do the work, I would not rake my lawn, I would do something insane. I finally agree.
Like a bullet my two buds shoot up from their chairs and within minutes the three quads are ripping through the turf. The sound was deafening like a NASCAR race. Neighbors began to gather. The quads moved like an insane mechanical ballet hitting each patch of ground and at times almost hitting each other.

In the end Big Lou was right, the yard was churned up better than a whole day of raking and the lawn is now coming in fine. What you see here in the video are the only images from this interesting day (courtesy Grizz and his honey who enjoyed the event from the comfort of their lawn chairs from their driveway).
Enjoy…
