See...I was yard crazy before kids, and my energy and time have gone down substantially. I'm good about keeping it cut and thick, but I'm bad about edging, string-trimming, and re-seeding spots. I will say for weeds, I use TruGreen. They come 4x a year to fertilize/weed spray. The stuff...

Yep. I did my gutters too. All but one in the back corner where grading is an issue. My problem is my house is on a very gradual hill, so the water from the back (including neighbors) gradually works its way to my house. To get around, it needs to go one of two ways, and one way is my...

Yep. I had a Keurig before my Lattego (well, an iCoffee, which used Keurig cups), but I really like iced coffee/latte in the summer and the Keurig wasn't great for that. Added bonus is I don't need to buy even the K-cups anymore - any beans will do. Plus, just buying beans is by far the...

I'm heading to my parents this weekend to finish the bridge and tree house I'm building for the kids. My parents live off the Chesapeake, and the kids wanted a tree house in some of the huge pine trees on their lot. I had to build a little bridge (~10') over a tidal creek to get to the place I...

I'll 2nd the flamethrower. If you don't completely fill the crack, it'll keep coming back though. You have to basically get the weeds out, fill with sand, then patch the crack itself. Several methods to do that depending on how wide the crack is. Most likely, even after you patch it, it'll...

Ditto - but then I have to set them on the floor because I can't lift either arm high enough to get to the counter.

This is a severely underrated post...

I bought a Phillips Lattego automatic coffee and espresso machine at the start of COVID and haven't looked back. I may still grab something from Starbucks or Dunkin' while I'm out, but it's maybe 2-3x a month tops. The Lattego gets me most anything I want in the morning and at home. I just...

They were across the back aisle from where they put the prepared foods (wraps, pot pies, stuffed peppers, etc.) in our Costco...In the open, tall refrigerators where they keep the cheeses and charcuterie stuff. Not in the door freezers. The skewers aren't frozen, just refrigerated.

Wordle 1,431 3/6 ⬜⬜⬜⬜🟩 ⬜⬜⬜⬜🟩 ⬜🟨⬜⬜🟩 🟩🟩🟩⬜🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 Connections completely kicked my @$$. I literally didn't even get one.

We had these Korean Beef Skewers from Costco last night for dinner. 5 stars. Very good. You basically get a pack of already marinated and skewered pieces of beef. You basically open them, and throw them on your grill for 8 minutes or so. Pair them with some rice and you're good to go...

If you want top quality hoses, go to Eley. It's one of the few companies I'll use and recommend religiously because their products are built for quality and just work. Their stuff is expensive, but as of right now 15% off which is the best sale you'll ever find from them. Their hose reels are...

Wordle 1,427 5/6 ⬜⬜⬜⬜⬜ 🟨⬜⬜⬜⬜ 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 Kind of crazy to get that given the one letter I had...

I've had intermittent back issues for 10 years or so now. For me, the biggest two game changers were 1) a standing desk for work, and 2) stretches, particularly hamstring stretches. It took a few doctors and chiropractors to find a combo that worked, but my challenges were caused by sitting...
