...fucked for the year.
These things will often 'bend over' a bit when it rains, but have always returned to upright afterwards.  Not this time...  Had a MASSIVE downpour the other night, so much so that the building gutter couldn't even keep up, and tons of water got dumped on them.
Now 90% of the grass will not return to upright, essentially 'ruining' the grass until next Spring.  I had to tie a string across them all just to kinda keep them up, but they are done for the season.  Kind of pisses me off.

I don't like ground floor condos, but you have good privacy. The plants help a a lot.
			 
			
			
				That's exactly why I got them, for privacy, as these things grow to around 5 feet tall, and require very little maintenance!
Now it's just dumb that I have to keep them strung up for the rest of the season...
At first I wasn't sure if I made a mistake buying ground floor, but I like the extra room of the patio, as opposed to the little balconies the upper units have!
			
			
			
				Grind up a Viagra, mix it in the water, and then water them plants. They will stand up in no time! lol
			
			
			
				:thumbup: 
Its not like Mel won't have some spare Viagara lying around, either...
			
			
			
				Viagra ain't cheap!  I keep some on hand for those nights when I've had 'a little too much,' but still need to satisfy the womenz!
			
			
			
				Lol, I've never tried it, but thought it would prolly be fun for a fuckathon lol.

I like to drink, and we know what can happen with a bit of age mixed with too much of the Southern Comfort...  So, I keep some on hand for that!  The woman doesn't even need to know!

What does your condo face? Mine faces another condo building directly across from my balcony and Lake Simcoe to the right.

Whats weird, I dont get whiskey dick (knocks on wood). But, round 2 is getting harder, and not literally lol. That refractory period is longer.
I wouldnt tell her either, I would just walk in swingin' my sword and proclaim "prepare thy self woman for a good dicking!"  :laugh:

Back yard of a townhouse is across the way, about 50 feet away.  Rich Honger lives there with her two small children.  Her husband appears to visit occasionally, and I'll assume he spends most of his time in Hong Kong earning the cash...

They actually should look better, and I shouldn't have to string them up!  A massive downpour a couple weeks ago seems to have fucked them!

They still make your patio look good.
			 
			
			
				Thanks!  I used to plant a variety of things every year, but now that the townhouses are finished next door, I thought I'd plant something that grows tall for a bit of privacy, and requires very little maintenance.  Karl Foerster's seemed to fit the bill...

And you have a nice sized  patio too.
			 
			
			
				It works.  Just off to the right by the garden hose, is my full sized Weber barbecue, so there's enough room out there to seat and entertain multiple people...
			
			
			
				Are you still building that gigantic power box?

Yeah you were blubbering on one night about the need for a bigger power box outside...maybe you had too much beer.

No I wasn't.  For one, I don't even know what exactly a 'power box' is that you're referring to.  Even if I was drunk, I wouldn't use a term like 'power box'...

I don't need a large living space.  More room just means accumulating more junk.
What I would like is more distance from other people around me.
If I make it to retirement, I would be happy to buy a piece of land, and have even a mobile home (new, or course) placed on it.  I would be fine with that, as long as I had a little more space.
Immigrants are happy living clustered in like rats, as they are used to that.  White people need space.

Yeah when you're drunk you become an instant genius...Im so fooled!!
			 
			
			
				Even when I'm drunk, I don't make up terms that are foreign to me.  And since I'm a fairly decent 'jack of all trades,' I would never use a term like 'power box' under any circumstances.
This discussion is over.

You have the same dream as I've always had lol.
I almost bought 40 acres for $60,000 several years ago. Was all mountain, did not see ANY neighbors. It was in BFE, my wife died, and I had to pass on it. The main snag was it was considered a land loan with a single wide on it, and you had to have 20% down plus closing costs.

And the land had services on it?

It had an old single wide on it, but he didnt consider the trailer since it needed to go, he was selling it for the land. Had well, septic, and electric. Even had another electric setup on the lower far side of the land that he had a buddy hook up an RV to. Sometimes I wish I could've gotten it.

Lol, my aunt use to have goats. My sister learned the hard way not to fuck with them lol. They would chase her and ram her  :laugh:

It was all mountain, but so secluded. Seen deer tracks, and was told bear were there too. He told me he no longer went on the other side of the mountain, that was the bear's half lolol.

I think Berry is talking about the time you tried to electrocute all the hummingbirds in the neighborhood.
BTW, I don't think the rain has anything to do with your grass falling over. Most forms of vegetation do not thrive when fed a steady diet of cheap vodka based urine. Read a book on botany, FFS and restrict your nightly liquid emissions to your bed.
			 
			
			
				Hummingbird feeder heater works good.  Had to throw in a higher Watt bulb to ensure it heats on even the coldest days.
And the rain did fuck the grass.  It came down like I've never seen before!
