I couldn't find Have Gun Will Travel on My Family Cinema.  John Wayne only had one new movie there, The Cowboys.  I'll look up Clint.  Actually, I probably have 100 old Westerns on a hard drive.

Here's some You Tube Full Length John Wayne western movies;

I am making preparations for a major landscaping job at our home that we bought last summer. Just had 480 landscaping blocks delivered and several yards of gravel and river rocks are on their way. My home has a walkout basement and the side with the garage is eroded and looks terrible. Going to build some nice retaining walls, install buried drains for gutters, build a firepit in the back, etc. The Mrs also wants a garden in the back but I don't know if it will do well, we have too many trees and it may not get enough sun. That should keep me busy for a few weeks.

I've heard about the Great White North.  Is this it?  Looks like global warming is alive and well there!

Yes, I agree.  I had a couple of good trimmers in the U.S. and they were the design you describe.  I never had a problem using them.

The one I have is what most Filipino yard guys use and in fact, the particular one I have is used by the crews trimming alongside the roads.  Very heavy duty.  I never planned on using it but I have no choice right now.  We have been looking for a yard guy and due to the lockdown we probably will not be able to get one for months.

So it took me 4 days to mow my lawn/weeds.  If I was my yard man I would fire myself!  

Actually that was 30-45 minutes per day which was 1 tank of gas per session.  Too tired, hot, sweaty and lazy to mix another tank of gas.  The first two days my back was getting sore but the past two day I got everything adjusted better and it was not bad.  I'm getting better with my technique too; not so many gouges!

Our guy is not very reliable and have been searching for a replacement.  If your interested it can be done in one day with minimal breaks and your experience. As an added bonus my wife can prepare lunch as well.

If I had a 14 year-old daughter, no way would a male coach be reviewing her individual 'exercise' videos. 

Don't care how wonderful he is.  Sorry. No offence intended.

I'm a big Western fan but for some reason, Have Gun - Will Travel is one I never watched.  I just looked here and it sounds interesting!  I will see if I can find it.

I'm trying to watch Westworld for the second time, but it doesn't bite well with me.  I'll give it a few more episodes.  I think I am on S1E6.

Gunsmoke . Westworld sucks. Pirate Bay has many seasons available for download.

I started playing online poker again today but what a pain in the bum depositing money, seems like the U.S. banks can decide where you can lose your money, stock market okay, gambling not okay. It took me about 5 days, I had to open an ETORO account, coinbase blocked me from the P.I. I then bought bitcoin on the market and had to trade first, I was actually up 17%, then I downloaded etoro's bitcoin wallet and transferred my bitcoin there, I was able to use that to deposit U.S dollars into a poker site.

I stopped gambling at casinos and online sites years ago. The reason they are in business is because they have the edge. I like playing with friends tho cuz it's even steven.
