You know your neighbor's visitors are from the city when...

[the old grind]

I have ~2 ac of lawn so it takes about 2 months to 'cover' all of it, then I start over.

btw, four neighbors on three sides of me that can't see into my yard, or when I'm 'going' in theirs
... and to their dogs I'm like an old friend. :laughing:

Never thought about watering the lawn, I don't have the sprinkler motion down. Shrubs tolerate my all in one spot slam bam. In the middle of the night that is about all I'm good for.

If you have trouble with coyotes, man pee around the edge of the lawn will mark your territory and keep the coyotes at bay. My brother starting doing that after losing several cats to coyotes, no more problem after that..

The local coffee shop owner/waitress has to tell them "Sorry honey we just ran out of Pumpkin Spice Soy Chai Latte".

I rarely pee inside anymore. Between the water use, pump wear/tear, electricity use, and then adding to the amount of water the septic has to treat I just walk outside. I figure over the years I'll save a good bit of water, electricity, well pump cycles, and thousands of gallons of water not going into the septic.

I always get a kick out of these city country discussions. I always get the feeling that there are plenty of people who live a few minutes from densely populated areas within a stone's throw of several homes and are on city water and sewer pretending to be in the country who have no idea what it's' like to really live in the country.

I constantly will walk past our half bath, out the front, or side door, and move around different areas of the front of our house to pee. Drives my wife insane that I do such a thing. Asks me if I'm civilized, huh, she might have a point...

That's because a city guy needs to sit down! LOL.

I'm not too proud to admit that, if I'm wearing trackie-daks or need to have a 3 a.m. leak, I prefer to sit down.

I'm also secure in my masculinity.

I'll have to try peeing while walking backwards and mark with a stick where I stop. Not sure I want to walk forward. I hope I don't trip and fall, it's kinda hard to stop peeing once you start.

And you can't read the National Geographic standing up, either! :laughing:

I had google trackie daks to understand. City folk probably wear designer pajamas.
