    Dave mentioned keeping gas.  I filled up two days ahead of the
    hurricane.  After, it is amazing how many people complained the day

    You need to change that gas occasionally. Gas has a short life span.
    Fill a nice big can of it, use it for lawn mowing or snow blowing and
    and if there is some left after a couple months put it into the car and
    get new for the emergency stock.

    I don't think Ed does his own yard work.  He definitely doesn't
    have a snow blower.


    I trimmed a plant last summer.

    I trimmed some plants last fall and no gasoline was required. The tool
    is called a hedge clipper. I blew leaves off the driveway using an
    electric rechargeable leaf blower. I do pay someone to mow the lawn
    during the warm months. He uses a gasoline powered mower.

    I bet Ed hires a bad hombre, at his age.

    $100 a month.  In summer, the cut 4X a month, other times of the year 2X
    a month.
    They do me and next door.  Four guys, about 10 minutes.

    What will you do after trump deports all those brown guys?
