So Mike I'll give you $200 + shipping for that 460. Look you turned a profit.
On an unrelated note. I walked into lowes this weekend and they had 75% off trees. I picked up a Crimson king norway maple for $10 and a weeping Japanese maple for $32. So more trees for the yard. My only conern about the maple is that it may get to big and eventually shade my grapes to much. If that is the case then it will turn into firewood. Both trees were a pretty awesome score. I also planted two pear trees and more raspberries in the orchard this weekend. Now I only need a Mac and Braeburn apple to round out the fruit trees in the orchard. I would love to add more blueberry bushes as well.

Yes the asparagus will be transplanted to its own mini garden. I just have not figured out where that will be. I need to choose wisely since as you know it is a perennial.
give yourself about 2-3 feet between plants as it will spread over the years. some of mine have spread over 3 feet in 18 years.

Is your laptop underpowered? If you're not afraid to experiment a little, download and install a Linux operating system distro. Try Xubuntu if you're real familiar with Windows. I have it on my laptop and love it. It's made for older/underpowered computers. A resource minimalist operating system unlike Windows. It's also fairly virus resistant. Totally free too. You can install it on your computer in another partition and still keep Windows just in case you don't like it. It may resurrect your old laptop and keep some cash in your pocket to buy more saw stuff.
I started using a trackball mouse about 3-4 years ago because I was starting to develop pain in my wrist (it wasn't from any type of repetitive jerking motions). At first it's a bit awkward but now I LOVE it. You have to try one. I'm with you on a full sized keyboard. Just like the feel of them.
Edit: Or try out Zorin OS. I've never personally tried it but I heard it's setup to be a Windows clone. Only distros I have experience with is Ubuntu, Xubuntu, and Lubuntu. Ubuntu looked way too goofy for me. Lubuntu is even less resource hungry than Xubuntu but I find it to be a little more challenging for newbies.

Damn, a hillbilly in GA is a Linux pro. Xubuntu is still too much for you laptop? I resurrected several old and slow laptops with that distro.
Major storms going over my cabin area today with supposed hail, high winds, and extreme rain. I really don't need any wood at the moment so hope my trees stay standing.
Today is the "nice day" here!

Same here mike. I think it may be dry enough to run the lawn mower today. There are a few craiglist ads for wood but they are in lancaster city and I think I will wait for something less than 30 min away and NOT in the city. I would like to keep my equipment mine.

It is overcast and breezy here today. hopefully it will stay that way so I can split some wood. The mosquitos are so bad because of all the rain we have got. I was out mowing yesterday and there were some of the largest mosquitos I have ever seen. They were the size of my thumb nail.
We still don't have much for mosquitos or bugs in general. That late frost really hurt them. Sometimes you get a second hatch that makes up for it though.
I heard the late frost also wiped out the blueberry crop. That should be good news for bear hunters as they wont need to compete with a natural food source. @chucker did you get a tag?

Had some pretty wicked weather yesterday evening here. Seems in the last couple of weeks, just mention the word rain in the late afternoon/early evening...and your wish gets granted.
You guys must have wicked humidity when it rains every day

I still don't know how those guys from the central part of the country can work outside all day in high humidity with denim overalls on.... I have spent time in Florida during the summer and the heat didn't bother me if you are dressed appropriately and drink lots of fluids. But denim? It's like the worst summer fabric ever made!
