    Thats so funny...

    When I was a little tacker growing up in Tassie my friends dad took us camping at the great lake (tassie has over 3000 lakes in the middle) anyway we get there and my friend and I went fishing while his dad put up his tent. When we got back he was sitting in front of a fire having a beer watching us put our tent right next to the lake. He sat there with a grin on his face waiting for us to Finnish then said "I wouldn't pitch your tent there" we said "Why?" he said "what happens when the tide comes in?" us so we moved the tent to the sound of him laughing. Years later I learned lakes dont have tides.

    Good logical advice, meeting the market is what I'll have to do, I tend to attract ferals all the time and its hard yakka doing them for peanuts. I drive past some the so called regular clients and feel I just wasted my time with them.

    Geez, thanks guys!
    Being winter Ive spent a lot of time on YT, watching a heap of "start a lawn biz" vids. Most are just about getting out there and getting work, at all costs! I just tried to give a little food for thought to some of these guys and wow, what a sh!t storm I created! haaa Of course, the lowballers are HATING the advice but I dont know why! If they actually understood what Im saying, they'd make more coin for less effort! Unfortunately, most are to stupid to understand this!
    Check out this guy, he's really pizzed off! bahaaaa… https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Stg4ZvL-BDo I recommend watching some of is other vids as well! Class act, all the way!

    Some of the vids Ive watched, I just shake my head and think, WTF! If this is the way things are heading, the industries screwed. Check this guy, pay attention to the price. The name of the vid says it all!
    Thankfully its in the USA but still, unreal.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=29_3...rL65sRz7vESgTg

    I really should get off youtube, its doing my head in! haaa

    Dry as here at the moment although the suburb over received 80mm+ last week in a storm. Im going out that way this week so hopefully there will be something to cut. Still cold though so, we'll see!
