    I like that lot.  

    Sadly, Dolly Parton passed.  But her tits remain strong to moderately strong.  

    JfC I read your second sentence and nearly had a heart attack.

    We got another  2+ inches from the storm that hit right around 12:00-1:45am last night.   Absolutely crazy lightning involved in that storm.  Damn near scary how much there was.  Puts us at over 10 inches since Saturday.   

     

    Lake Waco is actually 5 feet high right now.  

    Fuckin hell.  Only got a half inch last night.  

    Not complaining but still

  3. So far so good.

    The New York Times bestselling historian makes his historical fiction debut with an explosive novel set during the Hundred Years' War.

    July 1346. Ten men land on the beaches of Normandy. They call themselves the Essex Dogs: an unruly platoon of archers and men-at-arms led by a battle-scarred captain whose best days are behind him. The fight for the throne of the largest kingdom in Western Europe has begun.

    Heading ever deeper into enemy territory toward Crécy, this band of brothers knows they are off to fight a battle that will forge nations, and shape the very fabric of human lives. But first they must survive a bloody war in which rules are abandoned and chivalry itself is slaughtered.

    Rooted in historical accuracy and told through an unforgettable cast, Essex Dogs delivers the stark reality of medieval war on the ground - and shines a light on the fighters and ordinary people caught in the storm.

    Here's another link. Wolfpack includes the combos. Some of these can be mixed at home and some are not available to homeowners.

    https://turf.ces.ncsu.edu/take-all-root-rot-in-turf/#:~:text=Overview,for golf course putting greens.

    "Maintain soil at pH 5.5 to 6.0 on intensively managed St. Augustinegrass lawns. To reduce the risk of disease, apply no more than 10 to 20 pounds of lime per 1,000 square feet of turf per season. Use acid-forming fertilizers on sites with near-neutral to alkaline soils (pH 7.0+) to lower the soil pH. Topdressing with sphagnum peat moss has proven to aid in the recovery of take-all damaged St. Augustinegrass lawns. Evenly distribute 1 bale of sphagnum peat moss per 1000 feet2 of lawn."

    https://www.aces.edu/blog/topics/lawn-garden/take-all-root-rot-on-st-augustinegrass/

    It likes high pH. There's a lot of alkaline soil in Texas. Unless you are in the Piney Woods you are not likely to achieve a 6. My last soil test in the Frisco/McKinney area was a 7.75. The rec was 4# of sulfur per thousand. 

    There's some evidence that suggests that peat moss inhibits the disease. One bale per thousand is pretty cheap. It's worth the investment. 

    There's no consensus on remedies. Hence the laundry list of options. It was only described and named a disease in the 90s though there's evidence of outbreaks in buffalograss in Kansas described in 43. Back then it was called "the yellows". 

    You might have to curtail pre-emergent or limit it to the coldest, sleepiest time of the year. Post spray doesn't seem to be detrimental. 

    I had a pathology prof at a field day downplay its threat to StA. I tuned out at that point. "Why don't you get out of the lab and stop trying to control all the variables. Get out there in the field and see what it's doing."

     

    Thanks cactus. I appreciate it.

    Blasphemy for most but I’ve had some really good times through the years watching Modern Family with my kids. Some of the funniest shit I’ve ever seen on TV.

    The scene where Cam says “would be a better world if everyone just went back to where they came from” comes to mind.

    In the restaurant?

    Harvest Fest was season 3. It shouldn't have ended there. We wouldn't have gotten the Lil' Sebastian tribute concert. 

     

    You're right. I said Harvest Fest but I meant Unity Concert at the end of S6.

  7. My St. Augustine got wiped out by TARR last year.  I've let my neighbors Bermuda creep over and fill in.  

    I still have some bare patches of dirt where nothing wants to grow. I'm *assuming* that's because the TARR is still in the soil.  Could be wrong.

    What kind of fungicide should I use to deal with the TARR.  

    Thx.

    Yup.  I started P&R between the 3rd and 4th season.  I 1-3 over a few seasons and couldn't believe the jump the show made, essentially instantly, in the break between season 1 and season 2.  And it's 100% because they transitioned Leslie away from being an awkward buffoon to essentially the complete opposite of that.

    The development of the ancillary characters and the Pawnee universe in P&R takes it to the next level.  Plus, as someone who has worked directly in small town government in the Midwest, so much of those side plots, town hall meetings, and just angry uniformed citizen shit hit me hard.  It's absolutely spot on.

    And that's not even getting into the acting performances.  From season 3 on, basically everyone in that show fucking slays their characters.  

    I've researched PnR a few times all the way through. I 100% agree with what you said. They did maybe the best job since Cheers in bringing in new main characters and bit characters.  

    My unpopular opinion is that Leslie's character become the least likeable the last couple of seasons.  She's overbearing, manipulative and meddling. I did a complete 180 on her.

    Also , I thought the show should've ended with the Harvest Fest. That would've been a great finale. Didn't care for the last season.

    That's kind of what I was wondering, because I'm looking for something to binge next, and a good friend has been insisting on MF.  

    Recently binged thru P&R and 30R, and 30R started the best, but completely fell apart in the last two seasons, while P&R had one of the best finales since MASH.

     

    The later seasons are fine but you can tell the writing isn't as good.  They've introduced extra characters that they didn't need.

    It's one of those shows for me that I didn't appreciate as much as I should've when it first came out.  The jokes are subtle, funny and fast.  Later on they start tipping their pitches.

    We all know about Sofia Vergara, but her comedic chops and timing are fantastic.  

    It's worth a watch
