[01:54] <cmaloney> fuck lawns
[01:55] <mrgoodcat> lol
[01:55] <mrgoodcat> yours start growing again?
[02:02] <cmaloney> unfortunately
[02:02] <cmaloney> along with tjhe dandelions
[02:10] <gamerchick02> they'll never stop growing
[02:10] <gamerchick02> oh and humble bundle is having a sale again
[02:10] <gamerchick02> i picked up the Thief pack and bit.trip runner 2
[02:34] <mrgoodcat> i got the hacking book pack
[03:09] <cmaloney> nice
[12:25] <jrwren> cmaloney: LAWNS!!!  They are EVIL!
[12:41] <cmaloney> Yes, they are.
[12:45] <jrwren> its difficult for me not to feel guilty when my next door neighbor has the trugreen lawn of perfection and I have all weeds, but I keep reminding myself that I have diverse life in my lawn that i don't kill with poison.
[12:46] <mrgoodcat> haha
[12:47] <cmaloney> "I just have to remind myself that I'm not an asshole to nature"
[12:47] <cmaloney> ;)
[12:48] <jrwren> its difficult to remember when you are surrounded by those with such different values.
[12:48] <_stink_> on my street there are beautiful lawns like carpet, and there are mud pits
[12:49] <jrwren> mud pits!
[12:49] <_stink_> mine is the weedy, reel mower mown lawn, comfortably in the middle of the spectrum
[12:49] <cmaloney> I was out last night with my push mower (Fiskars reel mower)
[12:50] <cmaloney> http://www2.fiskars.com/Products/Gardening-and-Yard-Care/Reel-Mowers/StaySharp-Max-Reel-Mower
[12:50] <_stink_> 9pm mowing
[12:50] <_stink_> i love reel mowers
[12:50] <cmaloney> <3
[12:50] <cmaloney> They're no fun when you haven't mowed for one and a half weeks though
[12:51] <_stink_> haha
[12:51] <mrgoodcat> i live in an apartment
[12:51] <_stink_> true
[12:51] <jrwren> very true.
[12:51] <cmaloney> but went a setting higher and it was like a snowblower of lawn clippings
[12:51] <jrwren> My yard is just big enough to make the push reel a great work out ;]
[12:51] <cmaloney> jrwren: same
[12:51] <cmaloney> two hours of work out for me last night
[12:51] <jrwren> DAMN!
[12:51] <cmaloney> but I really hate gas mowers
[12:51] <jrwren> I get through in ~50min
[12:52] <jrwren> and I have one of the biggest yards in Ann Arbor ;]
[12:52] <cmaloney> jrwren: see above (1 1/2 weeks without mowing)
[12:52] <jrwren> oh!, yup, that will do it, ESPECIALLY this time of year.
[12:52] <cmaloney> We also have a deceptively large yard
[12:52] <cmaloney> looks tiny but it has strips along the sides that get tall grass
[12:52] <jrwren> Monday, I was hoping for it NOT to rain, just becauses I didn't want to wait another day to cut, because that would be another day of growth.
[12:53] <cmaloney> and an awkward tree in the middle
[12:53] <jrwren> i'm trying to systematically add garden islands so I have less grass, but those are work too.
[12:53] <jrwren> Just different work, and my wife does a lot of that ;p
[12:53] <cmaloney> heh
[13:05] <cmaloney> I should convince JoDee that she likes yard work, but I have about as much chance of that happening as I do of the royal family calling me to let me know that I'm next in line on the throne.
[13:05] <cmaloney> Not impossible, but highly unlikely
[13:06] <jrwren> well, gardening != yard work.
[13:06] <jrwren> growing vegetables is far more rewarding.
[13:07] <cmaloney> Yeah, JoDee liked growing veggies
[13:07] <cmaloney> and so did the squirrels
[13:07] <jrwren> lol, damn squirrels.
[13:07] <jrwren> I have a pellet gun on my wish list for varmit shooting.
