Live in the past, is mine. I will listen to things over and over because some songs or even podcast episodes, rewind me back to times where I felt comfortable in. I do sometimes poke my head out to see where things are currently in the present, but nothing around really makes me gravitate to anything current-day. But, then I just go back to my hole in living in the past.

People used to tell old people to get over it about them remembering things as they were all of the time. I'm understanding why they do that. Sometimes the present really truly sucks.

So there's this weed picker tool I use that's at the end of a long stick where the grab motion is done by stepping on the lever then rocking the stick back and forth. It's too save my knees and back over the course of the lawn. My wife used to make fun of me calling it my grandpa stick but then she used it and apologized.

Haha is literally called a grandpas weeder

We have this one:

There's this pump action slide that "ejects" the weed you pulled but if you do it right it kinda finds it across the yard. Kids love it.
