    It's in the bean family. Goldenball leadtree maybe. Flowers will be the best indicator.

     

    edit: nope not leadtree. Leaves are not right. These are too narrow to be a leadtree. 

    Yeah, I'm going to wait for the flowers.  Thing is people import trees and that can add a lot of variety.

    There's a reason the Cowboys haven't done anything in more than 20 years. 

    You mean since the players that Jimmy drafted retired?

  3. So his father gave him those guns back two or three times after break downs and taking them away?  Maybe the middle time was the police telling him to lock them up but he didn't follow through.  Either way that was three opportunities to prevent this event.  

    Is there a legal term that would apply to the father here?  Negligence, recklessness, culpable, accessory?

  4. Go to home depot and get a pack of N95 rated paper breathing masks.  They can be used a few times and thrown away when they get dirty.  I started using them a few years ago when I realized the pollen, dust and mold stirred up by the mower was affecting me well after I was done.

    We can assist you with the demo on the patio if that's a bit too much for you - price would depend on whether or not we are removing the debris, priced per day + that hauling option.

    As to the gutter situation, $ 11.00 / foot for a 1 story LeaFree system + any possible miscellaneous whatevers if required.  & We'll blow all the leaves off the roof included in the cost.  This would be an addition to your existing gutters with no removal / replacement of the existing system.

    What's the cost on a 2nd story?  You can PM me if you want to come see what you'd be into.  I also need a short section of additional gutter added where I have none.

  6. 3.5 Turbo gets good mileage if you stay out of boost.  Boost usually kicks in at about 1700 RPM.  I have the 2013 with 3.31 gears and for me the switch into boost on highway is between 55 and 65 depending on grade and headwind.  The torque is unbelievable though.

    I've been fighting this for 2 years now. Time to just roundup it. Ugh. 

    I had a bad case at my last house and I was at it for 4 years before I got it all but did that through pre-emergent and pulling.  I started on the upslope and worked my way down to account for any seeds that might have made it past the pre-emergent.

  8. I went on a multi-family camping trip to Lake Whitney a few years ago.  It was really nice and there are multiple camp sites around the lake.  There is a State park on the north side and a COE park on the south side.  Better trails were at the state park.

  9. So I took most of last summer off, but I want to get out on the river again this year.

    Anyone planning a surly kayak day on a local river?

    I'm not an Alex Jones supporter in any way, I think he's a funny goon that does the controlled opposition work for the left. If he goes away, who will be the boogyman for the left to point to that is a crazy tin-foil hat wearing lunatic on the right? If hes gone it actually helps Trump because he will no longer be associated with the dude and infowhores will no longer be a factor. 

    Want a giggle?

    Has anyone ever dealt with a Dallisgrass invasion? It’s all over my side yard. Will Celsius work on it? I’m hoping to avoid Roundup as it seems like I would probably do a lot of damage to the St. Aug growing in.

    That stuff sucks.  I go out after a heavy rain or a good soaking from the sprinklers and pull it.

    Looking for small trees for privacy fence. Anyone know what these are? The white bark with the Holly type berries is the serrated leaves. The darker bark (2nd pic) is the rounder leaf.d9b0f6753f04206f58bb60fcc8916c2e.jpgbde7095d7a20e942bd7c79e7c1fdd981.jpg41076b05374c58629863178b462a518e.jpg

  13. There are a couple ways to answer this.

    1. How many wins do you think are practical

    2. How many wins should we expect to see based on real progress and not just smoke and mirrors

    3. Minimum acceptable before we burn it down again

    I put down 9 wins and used method 2.

    Anybody grow Mexican plums? I'm curious about them, but haven't pulled the trigger yet.

    my neighbor has one that hangs over my fence.  Pretty blooms but I hate the branches and fruit.  The excess fruit contributes to rodents and Plum Curculio and other pests that attack my peaches.

    Would that cause the next zone to not pop up?
     

    Depends...

    Anything reducing pressure to a section would cause that.  It could be before the zone or inside the zone.  Two most likely causes are broken lines and stuck valves.  When you are starting up after the winter is most likely time to find new issues.  With a diagram of your zones and valve placement you might be able to see if there is a common valve to the zones that don't work.

    I'm not an expert but I think there are ways to manually open the valves so try that first.  If you think they are open start doing some leak detection work.  

    Of course if your heads are bad fix those but since you said it was a several heads per zone it makes me think it is a pressure problem.
