New tool! (torch)

Bought a torch from Northern tool. Instead of smoking some weeds.
Not to be confused with "smoking weed" (not my thing) I'm posting pictures cause I feel like crap and I'm hoping I'll feel good enough to use it tomorrow.

Can't wait to find more uses for this thing!

That's how they (or at least used to) control weeds at the zoo.
Very efficient if you remember that you just have to heat
the plants up, not actually burn them.

I'm all for keeping herbicides out of our water.

I'm pretty sure my 13 yo will be all over wanting to use the torch.
Best think that one through.

I don't use too much poison on the gravel but give in from time to time.
We actually like the bunnies that hang out in our yard.
Could do w/o the moles. Hey another use!
