Yep, I was out running the old string trimmer once more and wandered into a patch of Ye olde Burning Oak! OUCH I itch. I need to hit the shower shortly. I know what the stuff looks like I really do, but when it is on the edge or in the middle of the path of where I need to run the trimmer... Well pretty soon I'm bathed in flying bits of it. If I see it and it is on the edge I'll narrow the path... Somewhat anyway. But where I'm out prepping campsites so that all the people from the 'gaybay' can come up here and enjoy the 'wilderness' there are times when the only option is to crank the string trimmer up to high and let the bits and pieces hit where they may.
I'm not terribly allergic and it is fairly cool here today so at least my pores didn't open up too badly... And as I told someone else recently, I like running weed whackers. Put in a pair of earplugs and crank that thing up to Bear-b-gone level and make the 'wilderness' look pretty...
That campsite where the blackberry thicket looks like it wants to maybe creep back into the site? Today it was flying chunks and bits of blackberry. The reason you don't get poison oak on you unless you're allergic or Fido chases a SQUIRREL! into the higher brush that looks so inviting is that I was out there making sure it was cut back...
Have a nice camping trip!
