My wife feeds the chickens and cats.

LOL...I remember as a kid my friend's dad had an electric lawnmower with a cord and we were always running over it and cutting it. Imagine vacuuming a carpet but a lawn and a lawnmower.....what a PITA. I had nothing but problems with 2 cycle weed whackers then I read 4 cycle engines have 1/10...

Lets see....clean the kitchen, load/unload dishwasher, cut grass, tend the garden, water if needed, feed the fish, add water to tank if needed, water the houseplants, take out trash, check mail, discard mail, pay bills, do laundry if I missed that Sunday night, make my lunch for the next day and...

My wife and I collect cactus, we have hundreds, shame this is about maple syrup....

For now....do you have any more boys to backfill?

So their face is sooty looking after the wash it with charcoal soap?? :rolleyes:

What kind did you wind up buying?
