Have you ever done anything you just regret doing years later? Like when my kids were younger I had them pick up the yard (1 acre lot ) when they missed aluminum cans I would just mow them into pieces , now that I have gotten into MDing I have lots of trash thanks to me. Now when I dig one of these nickel signals and get a peice of a can its like shooting myself in the foot....LOL

At least you can feel better knowing that shredded aluminum is in EVERY yard, at least around here.

It does give me plenty of practice digging holes and pinpointing so I guess I can look at it as a learning experience. Got to look for all the positives ,LOL...

And once you dig them all up, cash'em in and buy yourself a nice cup of coffee. :)

But aluminum cans make such a nice sound when you chew them up with a lawn mower.

You should've been more of a hard ass on them and made sure they got all the cans, or else made them get some eye exams. I for the sake of my mower blades, have never mowed a can. Jeesh I hope you never planned on going bare footed in the yard. Crack the whip next time lol!:skullflag:

You'll get bored with your yard in no time and then have to dig everyone else's trash.

I have a lot of regrets, but it was the 70s I don't remember most of their names.

So what was the regret? Having them pick up the cans? Not having them do a better job of it? Or, not doing it yourself??? :icon_scratch:
