Very sorry to hear of Bruce's passing. He was an engineer from which one could learn and Bruce was always willing to explain the "why". He will be missed.

I wonder if a lawn mower might be useful along with the weedwhackers to make the job even quicker. That’s the combo I use for the weeds in the back forty! -----Original Message----- From: Alan Soenke via SBARC-list <sbarc-list(a)lists.netlojix.com> To: sbarc-list <sbarc-list(a)lists.netlojix.com> Sent: Wed, Mar 11, 2020 10:42 AM Subject: Re: [Sbarc-list] Weed wacking I have several tools to do the work.
