The smell of cut grass. I've been doing some bushhog work all winter. Not much, but some. Had the mowers out doing some work today also. Green grass and green dollars. /forums/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

Guess that depends a lot on your particular project. It's currently pouring rain and wreaking havoc right now here in Ohio.

While it's still too wet for me to go scurrying off into the woods with the TC-40D I was walking in the woods today armed with my heavy duty loping shears. I love to rip the vines off the trees even before they get a chance to shoot leaves for the first time. I especially love destroying those 2 inch diameter wild grape vines and getting a jump on the poison ivy. That stuff gives me the willies just looking at it. Yeah I know I don't touch the vines or the end of the tool after I use it. I then wash the tool down by misting it with gasoline to break down the resin before I put them away in the pole barn.

I wish it were spring, but winter is showing it's ugly face again. I was driving home when it started to freeze rain. The car is a giant ice cube. I was starting to wonder if I would have to scrape off the windows. I'm glad I didn't have to go any farther than I did. The temps earlier today got up to 43. It was raining most of the day. Then around 2pm or so they began to plummet. I wish winter was over. Just 14 more days til spring! /forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif
