I thought we had a thread for this, but couldn't find it. What did you buy today?

Par4QC That stuff is like a cheap fertilizer/water mix. Spurge turns brown within hours, then 2 days later there is twice as much!

Maybe I'll try an acid wash. 😲

I have been using it for years and it works great for me. Not sure what your issue is.

backinit right... the clarity is equal to maybe a little better than some Leopold scopes I've looked through. The price tag is just a whole lot less.

New to me, 2020 F-150 super crew 4x4 3.5 ecoboost long bed. A Ford dealer in Fishers, Indiana had this one with 34,400 miles on it. So much nicer of a ride then that F-250 😃

Nice! I REALLY miss owning a truck. I don't need one, but I REALLY want one.

Walterjn

colej just remember to KEEP your foot out of it if you expect decent mileage.
Go vroom vroom and watch the needle go down.

You'll have to reorder that Maverick you originally wanted. I sure love mine. Decent power with the 2.0 turbo and I got almost 32 mpg on the way home from Texas last March. The only detractor that I've found is that the box could be a bit larger. 90% of the time it's fine but if you want to haul something larger it's a bit tight.

It’s hard to do my friend! It’s so smooth and quiet you look down and you’re 15 over the speed limit.

The old truck had the 6.2 gas engine that was strong, not quiet, and got 12 mpg around town.

Walterjn

colej well, if you're used to that kinda mileage, you should be fine playing with it time to time.
Enjoy it!

Made the last payment for Solar. It's all working nicely and I'm connected for net metering. It took a little longer than expected, but 3 months all in all isn't too bad. My energy company cost me a month.

After the 30% tax credit we have to live another 7 years to get a return on our investment. lol Regardless we're happy to be going green.

Here ya go!
The butterfly/F1 type wheel....a bit of work to use this steering wheel.

New 13" round wheel much more user friendly!
The Moza wheels use a quick disconnect system just like a real race car!👍

Wifey taking the Ferrari P4/5 for a spin.....I don't think she ever got out of 2nd gear!😁

This thing is blast to use,a bunch of unaffordable cars to try and some really cool tracks to go haulin' ass on.
Biggest issue,my old soundbar doesn't want to pair up with the pewter half the time......🤔

Our pool pump went. Bought a Pentair variable speed to replace our single speed. Got to live another 10 years for that to be a good investment. lol

Typhoon

Sneakylong Got to live another 10 years for that to be a good investment

So you got 17 years of living invested including solar!

My wife’s wedding diamond fell out of the setting and is lost. Probably going to get a lab grown one for a fraction of the price. The only difference I can see is the earth mined diamonds have a trace amount of nitrogen and the lab ones don’t.

Par4QC white vinegar, dawn and salt will kill anything, especially spurge. It can also ruin the rubber gaskets in your spray tank, depending on what you use. Which is why I like to use Spectracide.😁

Does it kill the grass too(fescue)? I need a herbicide that just kills the crabgrass.

Not at Rex's place!! That is exactly what I used.
Spectracide, Roundup, hot water/salt, vinegar/Dawn/salt and finally straight ol' gasoline. It still thrives in NW IL!!!

It even relishes the weedeater prior to treatment. Like getting a fresh haircut for it. Then....a li'l dab'll do ya. 😅

As a side note.....I have not tried pissing on it yet.🤔

It does to grass what Raid does to bugs. I use it. Have some in a tank right now.

So I used this yesterday and 24 hours later Spurge is dead, crabgrass is dead, dandilions are dead. 2 ounces per gallon in a sprayer.

As I mentioned earlier, I bought it at a “Site One” place. Not sure they have one near you. I also buy my Lesco Fertilizer there. They carry commercial grade products, not the Home Depot Crap and half the price.

I'd love to.❤️

THAT is awesome! 👍🏼😊

Typhoon With this hot-as-Hell heat here and my scalping 3 days ago, I think the crabgrass has had it. Thing is, the whole front yard is brown now. The spurge is along the drive and the backside of the house; never gets into the yard proper, so I don't worry too much about it.
And those chemicals cost too damn much for my experimenting.
