Damn you guys.  Mrs. Cow decided this morning that I should begin the day by running the powerful DR Trimmer for about 45 minutes.

Alternative for physical labor.......

roundup

That is the good stuff.  The gal who mows around our house put down about an eight inch strip around two sides a few years ago.  Today there is a little grass along that strip, but not much.

That wire brush idea sounds great.  My basic problem is that I insist on attempting to use tools beyond their capacity.  I would be using the weedeater like a chain saw on small trees.

Yer lucky, I'm not allowed to have a chainsaw anymore but she finally gave me my drill back. (I'm gonna buy a chain saw attachment for it, but she don't know)

About ten years ago we had a couple hired to mow Bethel Cemetery.  After the first mowing, they discovered how long it takes to run around with a weedeater trimming around all the stones and individual mausoleums.  They broke out the Roundup and killed everything within eighteen inches so as to eliminate trimming.

I saw no problem with that.  Far too many of the family members stopping by to visit their deceased family members, though, had a radically different thought on the subject.  We had far more complaints lodged that year than the total of twenty normal years.  Wow.  Took many a butt-chewing for that.  From many people who wouldn't say "shit" if they had a mouth full of it.

Hint:  "it" rhymes with "it".
