  1. The first time I used MSM I did not use a surfactant. I did use one the last time with 2,4-D, but I may need to be putting it down more often. I've got a mix of zoysia, centipede, and St. A. Thank you for the information!
  2. This shit is spreading like crazy in my yard. It's been in my flower beds for few years, but my wife's habit of pulling a few weeds here and there and just tossing them into the yard has created a monster. I think it is Chamberbitter and I can't get it to respond/die with 2-4-D or MSM, but I might not be mixing it up strong enough. Has anyone else eradicated this shit?
  3. Why not? I take Ubers to/from client's offices in various cities around the country. It's easier/faster/cheaper than renting a car. Even with a stop in College Station the travel time would be shorter than driving your own vehicle. And there would likely be some sort of hub at both ends of the line where you could handle the last mile with ride share or rental car options if you prefer that. Yes, HSR is expensive af to build in the US. No, it's not likely to be profitable. But it is likely to increase productivity and reduce traffic on the Interstates in the major cities it connects. We should have been building it out over the last 50+ years like the Japanese.
  4. Fucking this. Remember the "gifted" airplane from Qatar that the American taxpayers will spend $1bn to retrofit? It's a jet stream of bullshit.
  5. Shit. I was not aware of it until just now. It's got me a little shook. https://around-the-block.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/e2809clove-lettere2809d-by-george-saunders-the-new-yorker.pdf @Foosters
  6. That'll buff right out I'm sure.
  7. So much this. If we managed to still make it out after getting the ball rolling with a few purples it was always a shit show. A 2 Mexican Martini HH at Trudy's wasn't quite as bad, but it was a guaranteed soup sandwich episode as well.
  8. I had a couple of friends that were convinced that Durham's investigation would result in Killary and Obama being perp walked into Leavenworth. I'm sure you're shocked to hear that these same chucklefucks are masturbating furiously at the latest "revelations" from Tulsi and the Buggered Weasel.
  9. The recent chatter made me go look at watchuseek and I'm a little surprised what you can get a pre owned Pepsi Tudor for right now. The Black Bay Pro is scratching me where I itch too.
  10. Needs more cup holders, would not buy. j/k - that is a massive boat. It's throwing off a f'n barrel wave.
  11. I don't think ever agreed with Candace Owens on anything, but she's right on this one. This is embarrassing. What was in the EPSTEIN FILES binders they passed out to influencers at the White House, just blank sheets of paper? GTFOHWTMFBS
  12. We had family friends that bought a house on the lake in Flat Creek cove/Travis Oaks area after the big 1991 flood. The previous owners were fed up with it and our friends got a great deal on it. It seems like the lake got into that house again a couple of times after they owned it too. Being out there in normal times it just seems impossible there could be enough water to get up that high. eta - just texted him and he said the top of their slab is at 684.
  13. This is shocking to me too. The market is just shrugging off incredibly destructive economic policies because they think POTUS is full of shit. Even the baseline 10% across the board tariffs from the initial crawl-down from Liberation Day would be painful to the economy, but this current round of insanity doesn't move the needle at all?
  14. He might want to tighten up that chin strap next time. That shit went flying further than his carcass.
  15. Are they ever? It seems like angry at the rage bait of the day is sort of their baseline these days.
  16. Nightmare fuel. I hope they got all those kids out.
  17. I was down there last week and can confirm there is a lot of inventory at the moment. In Pirate's Beach sellers are still delusional on list prices, but some of the houses closer to the beach move. The other factor is the beach erosion on the west end of the island. There are a couple of front row houses listed that are one decent storm surge away from having no driveway and the back porch pilings being in the beach. This one has no pictures of the outside of the house in the listing for a reason: https://www.har.com/homedetail/4227-ghost-crab-ln-galveston-tx-77554/7799355 I don't know how anyone pays this much for a house that is a dice roll away from being condemned. 4229 was rumored to be Beyonce's mom's house and it's no longer there.
  18. It's a handy tool for sure. I used one a ton on a retaining wall project when we had to bust up the old sacks of concrete where the tractor grapple couldn't get on them. Getting blisters through gloves is no bueno.
  19. I've heard so many different names for this tool from various cowboys and workers - a big Awl, an Asp, Breaker-bar, pry bar, etc. I've never heard it referred to as a San Angelo bar before, but I'm going to keep calling it an Awl.
  20. Brilliant. I never thought to do that. I'll put it in cleaning mode and then unplug it so the wand stays out. But yea, something else wonky is going on too. I don't know why it would yeet water across the room when the wand self cleans, but I can just leave that disabled if I can get the pressure back up. Thank you!
  21. I cleaned out the filter and it helped with the pressure, but the wand is still acting funky. I had to turn off the self cleaning function because it sprayed water across the room onto the floor after I fired it back up. 😒 Did you just soak your filter in vinegar or how else did you use it?
