    My stepbro had his luggage lost recently on a business trip, and the only pants available to be bought were from - don't laugh - Lululemon.  Apparently they actually make pants for men that can be worn to work. He actually wears them with Tecovas.  My SIL makes fun of him constantly.

    Yes!  Lululemon Commission Pants.  Super comfortable.  More in the "khakis" category, than "dress pant" category.  Always keep these in the rotation.

  2. Agree on Bonobos, as mentioned above.

    While not exactly "dress" pants, look into Rhone.  Anytime Im just wearing a polo to the office, their Commuter Pants are great.  Lightweight, breathable, stay cool, easy wash, no iron needed.   Actually wearing a pair right now.

  3. Echo the 529 recommendations.  I have both my kids set up on a Virginia 529.  I think I read somewhere that Virginia has the most 529 account users when compared to other states.  Who the hell knows, but I am happy with it and the performance.  The site is also pretty easy to use and dummy proof for newbies like me.

    @Grumpy Camel  I feel your frustration. That looks like crabgrass, have you spot treated with something like weed b gon? Calendar a pre-emergent application for the fall. 

    I spot treated with the Roundup that’s safe to use on grass.  No effect.

    Yes, evenings are good. Show us the after pictures too. Try a test spot, 6×6 is plenty, and give it a few days. 

    Will do.  Plan to mix up some Quinclorac and Methylated Seed Oil and spray this weekend.

  5. Over the past few weeks, this weed has taken over the side of my house.  Just want to confirm....is this crabgrass?  How can I contain it?  I have some quinclorac, is it safe to use on bermuda in hot temperatures?  Everything I've read says to use it in the evening, when its not as hot.

  6. This is the first year I plan to use a pre-emergent (prodiamine) beginning with the fall application.  How do you know when to put it down?  Everything I’ve read says to get it down before soil temps reach 70 in the fall, so would anytime before that work?  How far in advance of 70 degrees would be too soon?

     

    thanks

  7. The same sort of thing happens at my parents house!  Except not pretzels, they find almonds in random spots in their basement.  My SiL is convinced the basement is haunted and will not set foot down there.  Works out fine for me, my pops and bro.  We have a pretty sweet man cave set up down there, that any inhabiting ghost is welcome to hang out in when it’s not in use

  8. Just moved into a new home and looking to put up something in the garage or patio area.  I remember somebody on this site doing custom pieces made from old pallets.  He made a large Longhorn logo for someone that turned out great.  Anyone know who I’m referring to or have any other recommendations on where I can have something like this done?  
     

    Thanks

    He’s not. I have access to his stuff and I’d see it. I have an eero WiFi system and I can get on the app at any time and see each connected device and its data use rate. I need to see what info I can pull off my router to see if I can figure out where the data use is.

    Any chance you have Nest cameras set up inside/outside your home?  They eat up a big chunk of data due to them continuously recording and uploading to cloud.  I have an Xfinity cap in my area as well and this was a big reason why I chose to go with Ring devices.

  10. My wife and I are hoping to be first time homeowners in the next 12 months or so.  Problem is, neither of us are very knowledgeable in the buying process, how to choose a lender, etc.  We are pretty stable financially, no debt besides car payments, and have money saved for a down payment.  Are there any resources or books out there that can better educate us on this adventure?
