Blower and Fescue

A couple of improvements that you might not notice. 

Neil is using a Stihl backpack blower that has low emmisions, uses less fuel and is significantly quieter than older versions.  It also vibrates less which makes long use much easier on the operator.

The parking lot/Route 9 embankment is planted with hard fescue.  This grass likes to be mowed only once a year and it requires little or no fertilizer - it also has attractive flowers.  Maintenace has been reduced and the embankment looks better.

I'm sure that Gene Barton and Tom Bell (especially Gene) appreciate the muffled sounds - even more than the rest of us.

Wasn't Fescue a character on "Gunsmoke". Nope - it was Festus.

If Festus shanked a pool shot is is a fescue or a miscue.

I was just wondering.
