Sorry, but the lawn needs to be mowed. My wife did it the last time so, in all fairness I thought I should do it this time. I do have a Honda mower, so that helps me..........................................................................................................

Rent a goat!:celebrate:celebrate:celebrate
Better yet buy one and if you get hungry..........

but then he will have to go back to using the mower and taking time out of his day! Dont eat the goat let it eat all the grass it wants to and enjoy the years without having to mow the yard!

Why don't you start one? I live too far away or I would come. Ijust found this forum last month and have been to 2 meet and greets and the breakfast at Denny's. Good group of folks. I am sure there are others in the area that would be interested. Find a place, Starbucks or otherwise, that is okay with the idea. Then visit your local sporting goods store, range, gun store, etc. and with permission, put up notices about the meet and greet. First you have to set a time and date of course, and no matter what that is, you will not attract some people, everybody has their own schedules. Also bear in mind that summer is just around the corner and people are busy with home projects, yard projects, vacations, etc. Those that are really interested though will come. I have found the gun community to be a friendly group of people for the most part. Also might post if you have a local electronic bulletin board. I'm not familiar with Yakima, so that's the best I could do. Good luck and have fun!

Guess I was going about it the hard way. I like your idea much better, gogo. Or maybe a combination of the two.

You are making too much of it...

If you are going to have coffee this Saturday then post it, if only 3 guys show...that is good! If more then great!

The first 2nd Saturday group started with me posting Friday night that I was having coffee the next morning at 8am. 12 people showed up! We have been meeting for 5 months now!

The more small groups around the state that meet, the better!

It's just another chance to make new friends, gun friends and OC friends at that! Have fun with it and don't take ittoo seriously. It's just coffee and good conversation.
