  1. Not sure if we need a new thread for 2022, or rather just a "forever" lawn thread .. above my pay grade. 
    Anyway, I'll ask here. Contractors left a big pile of sand at my house. Would it be good, bad, or indifferent if I spread it out over the lawn. 
    I have typical Austin rocky soil, St Augustine grass. Some areas seem to have a lot of clay, others less so from my experience digging in it.. 
    Thanks.

    Probably depends on how much.
  2.  Jacobellis again! 

    Watching her finish behind the Italian girl in the semi finals it looked like she was just trying to decide what would be the best place to pass her in the finals. Setting her up. I figured if she was anywhere close at the start she would take her. Nick came through and gave her a lead. Game, blouses.

  3. Little pieces like the ones up top are great to sell at a show. They fly off the table at a decent price to weight ratio (yes, the weight of the art matters most when your back is 60+  ,) they cause patrons to stop and linger, which is gold, and they are simple and inexpensive to mail. 

    Yeah, she does this little wood block paintings mostly for people who wander into her gallery off the street. Her big oils and watercolors can sit on the walls for a while.

  4. You can now own this house. Looked at it on Zillow and it looks like all the carpet has been ripped out. Probably a good idea.

    “During an infamous incident at Paul’s Arlington home, Dallas Stars hockey player Guy Carbonneau supposedly tried to toss the NHL’s Stanley Cup, which the Stars won in the 1998-99 season, from the home’s balcony into the backyard pool. By one account, the trophy landed on the concrete around the pool and not in the water. The stunt reportedly put a three-inch dent in the roughly three-foot-tall, 37-pound Stanley Cup, perhaps the most recognizable trophy in pro sports”

  5. For sure. I planned to do some 'prep' around lunchtime when I saw temps were still mild (and still will).  But temp dropped several degrees as I was walking dog this AM.  Definitely cooler than expected.  I guess the question is whether that means the super cold air will get here earlier than expected as well.  Kind of feels like Thunderstorm watch where you aren't going to know how ice is going to impact your area definitively until right up on you.

    Yeah. Was gonna walk the dogs around 10. Walked out the front door and decided “fuck that”.
  6. It seems like it's getting colder sooner than expected in DFW area.  Does that mean less ice and more sleet/snow?  Hard for a non weather nerd to follow.

    I thought it was gonna be in the 50s until around noon for some reason. Already 40 with a 30 windchill up here in the exurbs.

  7. As I mentioned in the non-Texas weather thread - watch the ice line with this one. Ice is the worst. Be careful out there. Salt, sand and/or kitty litter is your friend in ice.
     
    And - a reminder - 4wd means zero in ice. Conquering ice in a vehicle requires studded snow tires or chains. 
     
    Tldr - keep an eye  ice line as the storm moves in. Good luck and Godspeed.

    All I needed last time was a bag of Sakrete the trunk.

  8. Whoa whoa whoa. He was on the Farm Aid bill last Sept along with Willie, Sturgill Simpson, Nathaniel Rateliff, Tyler Childers and he played 36 concerts in 2019 and 33 in 2018. 
    I'm not a Joni Mitchell fan but I've been a huge Neil Young fan for decades and his music is as relevant to me today as it was when I first became a fan. He's still very much a big deal to a lot of music fans. 

    Farm Aid founding member and still on the board of directors. Raising funds and fighting for American Farmers for over 30 years. Goddam irrelevant nobody from Canada.
