I spent a good part of Friday reseeding parts of my front lawn. First, I had to dig out about a million roots from a nearby maple tree. I’m putting my faith in Scotts EZ Seed, which is supposed to grow in any type of soil. I’ll let you know in 3 weeks. I know the birds loved it - I hope they left enough for the bare spots to fill in.
This morning, my back is stiff, and my arms are sore. The aches and pains remind me of my college days, when I used to do landscaping. I wonder if I could create another income stream by using my green thumb…maybe after the Advil kicks in. Here are some good reads from the past week:
Free Money Finance tells us that we can make a good side income from mowing lawns (the Advil hasn’t started working yet);
Jim at Bargaineering talks about the pressure washer he’d like to rent (an item on my list, too);
Brett at The Art of Manliness lets us in on a Case knife giveaway and asks what’s in your pockets (I always have this Leatherman multitool in my pocket);
David at The Good Human presents his Greenwash of the Week;
J.D. at Get Rich Slowly interviews a retired millionaire next door;
Free Money Finance reminds us that the little things matter for a successful interview;
Trent at The Simple Dollar lists the 10 things he wished he’d done when he was twenty;
Philip at Wise Bread wants us to reverse engineer the best time of our lives.
Have a great weekend!

The Corporate Barbarian: Soggy U.S. Open Edition SubZeroConsciousness The U.S. Open is being played in my neck of the woods, and unfortunately the weather hasn't been cooperating.

Sick and Spendy - and Personal Finance Links I've had a bad cold the last few days. Then again, I can't remember when I've had a good cold. Either way, it's sucked out my desire to do much of anything. Ever be really bored, but at the same time not feeling like doing something? That's me over the...... - Personal Finance Links (Bandwagon Red Sox Fans are Free Now Edition) Since 2004, I've seen fans of Red Sox Nation quintuple in size. Some of the Red Sox fans who suffered through 1967 (and before), 1975, and 1986 - even 2003, have taken some offense to this. As someone who has just suffered from 1986 on (I was ten), I have......

Dysons are consistently (high-) priced in the stores,......
