Get off my LAWN! "Grumpy Old Farts"

IME, ummm, I mean my friend Ernie has told me some micro sickle blade shavers, I mean bush removal machines can have pleasing results.
That took me home! FWIW, I will say (off the record) that Lakehurst is one of the few places I've been where I experienced some things that were totally explainable without some acceptance of the paranormal...and I'm specifically referring to something other than the general oddity associated with civil servants.
I once worked in a very old medical research building that had a populated morgue in the basement. I’d sometimes be alone in the building pulling an all nighter. Lack of sleep and being there alone often gave me the creeps.
I mentioned this to an old timer in the lab next door. He told me that the building was haunted. There were reports of people seeing things. Some people that work there refuse to be in the building at night.
Wolf spiders freak me out more than corpses. I've never woken up screaming with a corpse crawling across my face....
Spiders are good, they eat other bugs.
A neighbor’s place had spiders. Turns out she was using an eco cleaner in the bathroom. Some of these products have natural oils such as coconut in them. They attract bugs. She went back to a peroxide based cleaner, the spiders left.
I get these yellow spiders on my car after I wash it. They are attracted to Meguire’s carnuba car wash.

Wolf spiders bite....and also....(cue creepy theremin)....there's the added cheap horror flick suspense of hearing the big ones scampering across hard surfaces.....the ceiling.....the wall......then silence.....and then screaming starts.
**** me I was gonna post another pic, a real high res closeup. But trying to edit it on my pad I kept involuntarily jerking my hand off the screen. I guess your imagination will have to do......until......the screaming starts and you realize it's you screaming.

Better than weed wankersIn Liverpool they’re called Weed Wackers! Usually labourers with scythes!
Just got home from my minor back surgery and, from what few steps the wife has let me take, it seems to have worked!!! I can put my full weight on my right leg without aggravating the pain!! Woo hoo!
There's a little residual nerve pain and the incision pain is a little more than expected. But all that will go away, I'm sure, and I'll be able to walk normal again! Hallelujah! That's my prediction and I don't think it's just the percocet talking.
Come on over onto my lawn! Glad to see ya!

Excellent! What exactly did they do, what was the problem?Just got home from my minor back surgery and, from what few steps the wife has let me take, it seems to have worked!!! I can put my full weight on my right leg without aggravating the pain!! Woo hoo!

Thank you very much, @alaskaleftybass. She sure does. It's as hopeful for her as me, since she's been waiting on me so much the last few months!
That's exactly the way I feel!!! But Mrs. Dog would scream a fit if I even thought about trying it.
Thanks, @bassmike2010.@agedhorse, discs L3/L4 and L4/L5 were herniated, apparently since about New Year's, progressively pinching two nerves going down the right leg in two places each, until I needed a cane to walk by end of May (after a month of PT). A steroidal anti-inflammatory injection in July did no - thing! So, today, they did laminectomies on them, which I admit to not fully understanding, but is a very common procedure with only about 1" incision and 2" square bandage.
The next step would be fusion, with screws and other hardware! A friend of mine was scheduled for fusion a few days ago, but ended up with "full lumbar laminectomies" instead. I don't know how many that is, but he just left hospital today. So, I'm very glad for my outpatient job!!!

I would like to express a hope that all the folks affected by the various vicious storms currently in progress will be safe and in good health when they finally end.
