I'm also in the Facebook non-user category, mostly because I don't think their egregious behaviour should be rewarded. I do have a de-activated account, which I have been warned I should not delete as that is a potential route to someone else appropriating my identity in the world of Facecrook. I'm available via lots of other channels on the Internet if people want to find me (multiple websites, email addresses).Back to ET topics.Last fall, we had snow on the ground by mid November, and my two biggest leaf shedders dropped their leaves after that. I have finished the exercise of raking and revealing the snow-ice layer below on one patch of ground. I can live without doing the rest by hand.Has anyone used the vacuum unit for Elec-Traks for picking up leaves? How well did that work? (and if the answer to that is positive, does anyone have one they would like to part with?)I don't usually mow with my ET, too many small obstacles embedded in our yard and a significant amount of the space is garden.If there are other good ideas, I'm open to trying to cobble something together for the job.Darryl McMahonOn 5/2/2019 12:37 PM, john j casey via Elec-trak wrote:> My good wife and I have less than zero interest in Facebook.
