I'm just tired of it looking awful. I don't ever really aspire for awesome, but something you'd see after 5 days of Banaroo (sp?) in Yakima in July mixed in with every variety of weed that ever existed save the one I crave to smoke is what I'd like to correct. The top layer of moss I removed was only a start. Amazing what a little rain can do. Already looking better.
Up soon. Building a retaining wall (actually changing the landscape of the current retaining wall) to build raised vegetable gardens. This one might take a while. Like never.

FWIW, GM, I've just used a thatching rake on problem areas.

Of course, totally different grass (St. Aug) and environment. Never had my lawn aerated but I had somebody try to sell me on it. I figured it was just salesman talk so I blew it off.

Can I give you a tip without you going bersek?If by overseeding you mean just going around your lawn with a spreader and putting seed down, I would advise against that. I've tried it a couple of times with limited success. The seed just sits on top of the soil. It needs to get down in there. You would be better off renting a slit seeder.You don't think I have real live neighbors who also know I'm hopeless and tell me what to do? My grass was recently aerated and it needs to be thatched and overseeded. It was horrendous shape when I moved in :nonangry:. I have a neighbor named Arthur who is very nice, but always up in my kitchen telling me what I need to do and how I should do it, which is good because I need direction, but bad because he talks endlessly and has a nasty habit of just farting at will without so much as acknowledging the fact that he's letting them go in casual conversation like geese honking in the background. Anyhow, thanks for the yard tips, Scotts.'General Malaise said:Jesus. I've only tried to help, since you've admitted that you're the worst at it.

Feed your lawn. Feed it.
Do you bring your own clippers/file?My chick is paranoid about going and catching some bug from nasty clippers/files.
Uruk-Hai
Footballguy
Nope. Last thing I'm worried about is catching something there. I've been going to this place for a year or so and haven't had an issue (I doubt what's up with my lungs has anything to do with their clippers).

We did our best to remake the pic last night. After she brought me to her to get stoned of course. Mrs. Slb says we were gone for an hour.LET'S GET BOMBED!!!!!!!!!!!!!'Sheriff Bart said:Re: the glassesI hated contacts and usually got drunk, passed out and lost them. They were hideous but I didn't care. Thanks God for laser eye surgery.'Sonny Lubick Blowup Doll said:OUTSTANDING.

Let's see, after chick friends made a bobsandwich, I was feeling pretty good. Of course I was high and drunk. Could have gotten into lots of trouble. One chick asked me to walk her to her car. I accepted and Mrs. SLB wasn't so happy about it. Didn't go the distance though. Was clear where things were headed.
So I go back to the bar, big smile on my face, and decided to have a smoke. I see this table of cute chicks and one of them is telling the rest their plans for the night. So I ask a couple of them why this gal speaks for the group. Gal says "back off cripple". To me!!! She certainly caught me off guard. Then she says to her friend, "did you see how I handled that nword". To which I retorted "funny, you don't look like a racist cword" Much to the delight of her friends.
Then there were three young hot chicks that wanted me to go out with them at the end of the night. Kevorka was strong last night.

Went to Walgreens (GM>we don't have Rite-Aid around here) to buy a pair of small scissors. Found the cheapest ones and went to the register.
Cashier: "That'll be $7.03."
Me: "Really? Cuz it said $2.99 on the display."
Cashier: (Pushes a few buttons, pauses) "That'll be $3.24."
Me: "Awesome. Who would have gotten the other four bucks?"
Cashier: <_<
There was a girl in sweatpants behind me, who had sprinted to the counter with an armful of bandages and a credit card in her mouth. I elected to not pursue it further.

The aerating coupled with the thatching before overseeding on top of an endless deluge in Portland equals a much greener, healthier looking lawn in less than 2 weeks time. BUT THANK YOU FOR THE TIP, SORES!Can I give you a tip without you going bersek?If by overseeding you mean just going around your lawn with a spreader and putting seed down, I would advise against that.

Ohhh, they don't have one of those at my Rite Aid. BRB.Anybody else playing our Oregon State Beavers -10 tonight? This is supposed to be another 'trap' game, but I don't buy it. This Beavers team is pretty good. I think Cody Vaz is an upgrade to Shawn (Sean? Shaun? Schan?) Manion and they have two WRs who will play at the next level. It's been a LONG TIME since Rieser Stadium was buzzing on a Saturday night. Toss in a little rain and some drunk BeaversNo. They have a vast assortment of unhealthy snack and dessert options.
and you have a recipe for an old fashion butt whooping.

El Camion food truck is excellent.This drifter guy figures stuff out quickly. Aside from these two, your best option is probably food trucks. There's a couple around that are way better than any of the local mexican restaurants.Cactus and Peso'sPlease find me edible mexican food and report back. Thanks.That's because you live in the sticks. Couple decent BBQ places in Seattle and great food in general.I'll 2nd Oregon though, I got a pulled pork sandwich at the Saturday river hippy fest thing and it was awfulxii. Washington. Food in general sucks here (other than seafood, which is generally excellent). There is one decent BBQ place about 15 miles and a bridge toll from my house. That and Famous Daves, about 10 miles away.'commisholio said:f. CaliforniaNot sure what it is, we have outstanding everything else, but it's tough to find great BBQ in California.'General Malaise said:+ Oregon.Just had lunch at Famous Daves. Went with the Louisiana Hot Link. Hard to screw that up. But not even getting BBQ at a BBQ franchise tells you all you need to know about the state of Oregon BBQ.'Thorn said:
This place is goodish and the locals rave about it. But my dad smoked a brisket when my in-laws were in town that was much better than the brisket I had here. But my dad has had 50 years of Texas living to perfect his smoked brisket and despite the fact that he can't cook anything more than scrambled eggs and hot dogs, the man can absolutely crush a smoked brisket.

I was a speaker at an industry trade show today. Got a few small clients and meetings with the managing partners of two law firms next week, one of whom asked if I wanted to stay solo or if I'd be willing to come work for them under the right circumstances.

I am going to be in Europe starting tomorrow, so please remove me from group texting until Oct. 30. I seem to be on there at random times anyway. But as I found when I got a bunch of pictures sent to me while in various foreign locales, getting photo texts while abroad is very expensive! :(
