Couple Denver slings wanted to ride so we met them in Colorado Springs for breakfast and then headed up to Bishop's Castle (cool place to google, quite a story) - been there a few times now but always interesting to see what's new since I was last there. Was a great ride and got to put some miles on the quad kit today, only issue was I lost my hat. We had some crazy winds (calling for 60mph+ tomorrow) and that's about the only time I'll lose a hat is those freak crosswinds - oh well time for another one anyway!
Only one hat?

Just an 80 mole jaunt gor eggs. Funny how all dhort errands turn into nice rides. 😁

Same ride today as last Sunday. Long way home through the desert after setting my wife up at her farmers market. This time I didnt take any pictures. I was busy stopping at several points along the way checking how well I could connect to the local GMRS repeater back to my home. Its really impressive how much range I can get with my little 5 watt GMRS hand held unit when I connect through the repeater. first test from by my wife's market was a good 30 miles total distance from me to the repeater and then to my house and had to go around a mountain

can you describe for me the process of getting your license please

GMRS license is very easy. There is no test involved you just fill out an online form and pay the fee. the fee used to be $70 but recently they dropped it to $35 and this is good for 10 years and covers everyone in your family. here is a link to a step by step instructions - GMRS License Instructions
After this is done it takes about 24 hours or less and they will e-mail you your call sign that you need to use, its really very easy, but the various website are typical government BS and can be a bit clunky
After you get this done I recommend you also go to the home page of that same website and register this will give you access to information on all of the repeaters around your area and any other place where you might want to use those repeaters. Some repeaters make their connection information public, but many others want you to request access before they will give you the needed info
Edit: When you are shopping for radios be sure to verify that they are capable of using the repeaters. this is usually made very clear in the description, but not all radios have the ability to do this so I felt it was worth noting this.

I’m new to this leaf season - you do it regular or just wait till they all fall then do it ?? They sure are pretty on the tree but a real pain in the a$$ afterwards
-
I always wait until they’re all off the tree to do them. Otherwise you’re doing it over and over and over again.
-
Do it when they start piling up. Takes me 4 3 hour days.

Yes but if I did that my walker mower would take forever to pick them up. It would push them around and around. Much faster and easier to do pickup multiple times. One more to go and I'm done until next fall. Snd this is before accessories. Mine was 15k 9 years ago.

Saw an article on weather channel and they said leave them alone. Said something about insects kinda hibernate in them and then birds eat the insects. Also said great fertilizer.

I am guessing that is for anyone who does not want grass... The leaves will destroy the grass if left there but I agree, in the woods or anywhere that one does not have neighbors (who give you that look when you don't clean up the leaves) I would say leave them.
I live in a suburb and there they say to try and clean up as many as you can because they clog the storm drains....
Different everywhere...
Edit... as a funny note... that is what Cali does with their wooded area... and we all saw how that has worked out.... (Just being a wise guy)

You high tech guys.
.. I blow my yard (suburbia) into a big pile and mulch them with a leaf vac... -
I just mulch them with the lawn mower, It normally takes about three different times or else the leaves will be too deep to mulch with the lawn mower. I do not rake or bag, it takes too much time

I have about 2 acres of oak leaves. Gave up raking and blowing them years ago. Now I just run over them with my mower. By spring they are all chopped up.

We got tagged in a few photos this morning from the Toy Run we did a few weekends back. Pretty cool

it’s all about Termanology. If you have a lawn it’s an issue if you have a field you don’t😎
