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!
