Got the yard mowed, vacuumed and de-thatched. Tons of thatch - here is the lawn after de-thatching. I had already vacuumed up the grass clippings after mowing so what you see is all thatch. One of the biggest accumulations I have ever seen. The fact that neither the vacuum nor the de-thatcher had any power feed made pushing them around all the more work. I am going to be feeling this tomorrow - already feeling it now. It is going to look really good in two months once the grass has been re-seeded and sprouting.
I bumped up the contrast a bit on the second image so you can really see the difference between the gray thatch and the green grass. Going to wait for this to dry for a couple of days and then pick it up with a rake.
Defrosting a couple of bratwurst for dinner - have them with home-made sauerkraut and stone ground mustard. I have some potato salad in the fridge so that will be dinner (plus a couple beers (for theraputic reasons only)).
Quick surf and then clean the equipment and load it into the van to return tomorrow.
