  1. I don't give a shit if Turtle shows up in an old man onesie. I couldn't possibly care less about the dress code. Decorum my ass. That died a long time ago. Dick Cheney Could Not Be Prouder of That Time He Told Pat Leahy to “Go Fuck Himself” on the Senate Floor
  2. You could have probably stayed in non political politics adjacent threads and still have green rep. Which you had last week. But, no you just gotta express your hot sports opinions. Which animal tobacco name is next? Maybe switch it up this time. Base it on barbecue sauce or something. Sweet baby Ray's skanky dil KCMasterpieceof... yeah that's too easy. Anyway you are 17 away from another one getting sent to Purgatorio.
  3. From DFW AND PARTS WEST OF THE BRAZOS FIGHT!
  4. He's nearly off the first page. How soon. Oh well. He's on with Hannity. Extrajudicial killings. I think they call that murder. Just shoot that Guatemalan. Good for nothing freeloader stealing from us. Our jobs. Our culture. Rivers of blood aren't enough to satisfy them.
  5. Don't plow it up just yet. Be patient grasshopper
  6. I remember the 47% comments. I certainly haven't forgotten about Bain. His dog in a carrier on the roof going across country. Maybe he's a good example of the country club Republican of the last century. The article is an impeachment of his own party. Now that he is ready to get out he can tell all the tales, well maybe not name names because he still wants to get invited to the club parties. I like the concept of having competing ideas about policy. Unless your policy is "fuck you, I got mine." That's the sum total of the R platform on domestic issues. Pull up the ladder, shoot the survivors, and render no quarter unto any that oppose us. The unnamed Senators are still too scared of the base they created. I've likened it to Tolkien's description of the beast the Witch King flew, "fed on fell meats in the dark until it could tolerate the presence of the wraiths". Bain fed the base. Newt nurtured it. Alex Jones poisoned them. Trump is the natural outcome of this program of systematic misinformation and feeding the baser instincts of mankind. The article is important because it shows just how afraid they are of the beast they rode to victories. It's willing to storm the capital and kill them. It earnestly desires to destroy. Charlie Sykes and the rest of the Never Trumpers have at least one thing right. Do not vote for Republicans. Not now. There's no one in the party willing to stop feeding the beast.
  7. One of your first posts on this name was to declare that you weren't going to jump in CR again. It didn't take long.
  8. That's just the first pair. Check back with us in six months with the new numbers.
  9. To a certain extent it is burning up though we might be throwing lots of supplemental irrigation at it. Its roots might be compromised. The stolons could be plugged up. It can rot from the top down and the leaves themselves stop functioning properly. Sometimes I think it's looking for a reason to get sick.
  10. There's no gray leaf spots. I don't like the fact it has those brown tips. I think I may have called this disease TARR. YAY A NEW ONE. job security Nigrospora Stolon Rot Richard L. Duble, Turfgrass Specialist Texas Cooperative Extension Text and images copyright © Richard Duble. A relatively new disease of St. Augustinegrass, Nigrospora stolon rot, has resulted in serious deterioration of St. Augustinegrass. The disease appears to girdle the stolon (stem or runner) of St. Augustinegrass and deprive the stolon of water and nutrients. Leaves and stolons appear to be under severe moisture stress and soon become totally desiccated. The disease has been especially severe during dry spring and summer months. High temperatures and drought conditions favor development of stolon rot in St. Augustinegrass. Symptoms of the disease include dark brown lesions on stolons. As conditions favor the fungus, the lesions enlarge and eventually girdle the stolon. The girdling of the stolon stops the movement of water and nutrients to the leaves. The leaves soon wilt, turn yellow and die. New growth on the terminal end of diseased stolons is typically thin and yellow reflecting a limited supply of nutrients to the growing point. Overall symptoms are similar to those caused by chinch bugs on St. Augustinegrass. Laboratory observations of stolons from diseased areas may show the presence of Nigrospora as well as Curvularia. Both fungal organisms are weak pathogens and usually only attack plants under stress. Environmental conditions such as unusually low winter temperatures, extreme drought and extremely high temperatures during spring and summer contribute to the occurrence of stolon rot. Providing adequate moisture, raising the mowing height and two applications of Daconil 2787 at 8 oz. per 1,000 sq. ft. at 14- to 21-day intervals has provided good control of the disease. Looking for the official turfgrass site? Click here I'm sticking with the original rec. Some kind of fungicide. I'm getting wilder about trying out stuff. I wouldn't be opposed to trying the woo woo recipes of Listerine. The risk on getting wild is there's a chance it could be too strong for the plants. I guess I should mention that if you do feel you have nuked something with too much juice the remedial treatment is carbon. Same principle as charcoal slurry or pills for us and the critters. Consan 20 is another old school one. You can get it off the shelf at some hardware or nurseries. It's a soap. I think it's 2tsp per gallon. A pint lasts for a long while
