One of the hardest working kids I know and a member of our grounds crew, graduated High School across the street from the ball park. He came over afterwards to lead a drag! Definitely a cool moment for him but for myself also. Proud of him!

Let the KBG grow out over the fall into winter to get better turf density. First mow of the season, pretty cool “dead end haircut” effect.

Walk behind is down so using off week mower and came up with using small coco mat to keep pattern until we can fix the walk behind. Definitely much easier than a push broom.

Testing out different products for cleaning bases. Used tire cleaner, Dawn Power wash, scrubbing bubbles. I believe Dawn Power wash wins. Bases almost look new.

Yesterday the time came to say goodbye to Marley. I got Marley my senior year in HS to help with the lost of my dad. He has been through so many hard times and so many good times with me. One thing that always made me whole was his love for our kids.

One of two machines we used to roll in turf blankets. And yes that's a walk behind mower. Our other machine is attached to the front of an UTV.
