Hall of Classics>AWW Yes, Its' That Magical Time Of Year....LEAF PILE TIME

Aww yes, I just go done playing leaf wrangler out in the front yard and have a nice neat pile out in the street. As many of you are aware, I have had some trouble with people crashing their vehicles through my piles in years past and leaving one hell of a mess behind for me to clean up. Last year, I got tired of it and decided to create a deterrent to try to curve the learning scale around here in an up word fashion. I created what I will call, a Terminator leaf pile, or TLP. The Terminator pile is designed to detour this deviant behavior from happening twice from the same individual. The TLP of course has a fine mix of neighborhood leaves that had found their way into my yard, but also has some accessories not found in your average run of the mill leaf pile. These "bonus goodies" include, but are not limited to, two metal fencing poles, several logs and a Honda Accord Transmission bell housing case that I had to replace with a new one about six months ago. :-) Of course, these are not in their to rough up some Slippery Larrys vehicle that may decide it would be good time to hit Bwanas leaf pile, no no, all those bonus items are in there to help weigh the leaves down and prevent those nasty north winds from blowing them away. :-) I'll keep you posted..............

The city comes and collects them once every two weeks.

Better yet, why do you pile other refuse in the street?

Did you move to Arkansas and neglect to tell us?

Nope They have some kind of a giant vacuum truck that sucks them up.

They come every other Thursday, so I collect the goodies the day they show up. I don't think it would take to the TLP very well. :-)

Speaking of piles, my Dad use to dig a hole in the pile and put the dog turds in, then cover it with more leaves, inconspicous that he is.

Poor litter collectors. lmao.

I'm disappointed.......

I was hoping for Old gallon cans of colorful paint, stacked at least 3 high.
