The beer holder is awesome! In the back of my mind is running over my feet and chopping them to pieces if I'm not paying attention to the lawn mower if I'm mowing while drinking. An unnecessary thought to be sure.

I've done what you mentioned--live in a house long enough and you try everything.
Methods:
I have raked all the leaves into the street and then beat them to pieces with the mower and then bagged.
I've used this thing that looks like a lawn mower but sucks them up and grinds the leaves to tiny bits and shoots them into a bag.
I've simply raked.
I've used that blower that converts to a leaf bagger.

The best method? Worthy of debate. They all have pluses and minuses.

The key is, considering all of my 30 year, home-owning wisdom: they're all good but DO NOT let the leaves collect for any amount of time. Like I just did this season.

The main point of the post was the pleasant photo.

Truth be told, I like to burn them.... The smell is a reminder of fall as a child.

Leaf burning is not allowed here, will definitely garner a visit from the local constabulary.
Our property in fringed with mostly hardwoods and apparently this was a good year for them. I have a 46" rider with a triple, rigid bin bagger and this time of year I'll make a pass without the chute in place to mulch up the leaves then make another pass with the chute in place. Cuts the emptying by two thirds...

Cheers!

I was thinking he had a ride-on mower not a walk behind.

Just in case you have a second thoughts, I think this might work on a walk behind.

I actually forgot the reason I came here; I got all involved with my previous posts. I guess this is random:

It took HOURS to handle all of these. My wife and I tag-teamed them which made it a billion percent more pleasant. There were twenty bags by the time the leaf dust settled. Leave (punster) it to my wife to take an aesthetic photo of something which could be considered less-than-pleasant.

Man, those leaves will make some awesome mulch!

I used to live in an unincorporated part of the county. I had so many fallen branches that I mowed with a mulch mower, towing a wagon, with chain saw inside the wagon.

I'd mow as much as possible driving around downed branches. When I had that done I'd park and out comes the chain saw. Start sawing them into 3-4 lengths, then hauled them to one of three burn piles.

I'd spend several days doing that on two acres of dense timber. Obviously burning in safe areas. Typically in the wetter marshy spots.

I'd move leaves with multiple passes pushing to the low center spot and use them to light the sawed timber. For me fallen timber was more of an issue than leaves.

Having been a professional driver (former trucker now with a van) for over ten years riding motorbikes in my freetime I'm thinking probly half of all cars would actually need this...

having watched nearly every single dashcam crash/stupid driver/road rage video on the youtubes (plus nearly 30 years of driving in DC Metro rush hour traffic), I think saying half is just you being overly generous
