I've been cutting, trimming, whacking, dragging, & clearing an area about 100 yds. long on the slope above my house. Almost finished except for the dragging/landscape raking and burning later on. Hadn't done that for some time, so the job wasn't small, but had to be done (not required though) because of the coming fire season. I'm learning my age. A couple of years ago, I could do this all day, day after day until it was finished. I may have to get some help in years to come. My wife says some neighbors have seen rattlers, but I haven't so far. Looking forward to finishing.
My collection so far for burning.
Two of my helpers.
I'm really glad to have my big weed whacker/trimmer, chain saw, and tractor - though I have to rake & drag it all downslope to push it around with the tractor.
