Doesn't it though. I had a 1-man PHD and hitting roots had me bruised from my knee to my armpit. That's when I decided I needed a 3-point PHD but these days, as bczoom said, and at my advanced years it spends all its time hanging from a frame I built down at the barn. It's much easier to dig...

I've already mowed a few of times. The first couple were really just to mulch leaves. The last time was to knock down weeds. I can't get the yard sprayed because the wind has been blowing like crazy for weeks. I've probably missed the window for putting out pre-emergent but I'm waiting for...

My truck bed tank is plastic, 65 gallons (I think), came with a 12v pump, hose and nozzle and is made by Enduroplas, I think I got it from Northern Tool but it's sold at other places. It's only used for carrying red diesel. I store my diesel in 55-gallon drums mounted on dollies. The system...

Good to know Doc. Continued success in your recuperation.

OK, I Googled it. Deisel Particulate Filter. From what I've been reading this afternoon it sounds like one of those seemingly good ideas that doesn't work worth a damn. Sorry about the double post.

Pardon my ignorance but what is DPF. Is that the same as DEF?

At this time of year temperatures in the mid 90s are pretty normal, even a little low. I only really pay attention when it gets above a 100°F. No, it doesn't quit growing. I mow every 7 to 10 days all through the summer. One of the best things that I have ever done was, when we moved here...

It's actually been cooler here in East Texas this summer. We've only had about 4 days over 100°F and most have been in the mid 90s. Still hot but bearable. When working outside, I drink 80-100 (at least) fluid ounces a day of water and sports drinks. Water alone doesn't cut it as I start...

Welcome.

What he said.

Yes I saw it. I put out granules for grubs about 2 or 3 times a year on about an acre of the yard surrounding the house. I use a Scott's push broadcast spreader. It's hard work at my advanced age. The other 3 acres of yard I spray with SEVIN. That's a lot easier. I do it to keep the hogs...

Made my first full mow last week. I'd done a couple of partials to hit the high spots and mulch leaves before that. My yard looks like hell. It's never recovered from being worked over by hogs a couple of years ago. It's all weeds and junk grass. I sprayed pre-emergent earlier in the year...

Well, hello there, welcome and glad that you found us.

Same to you and everyone else on here. I poured a toddy at 11:45pm and finished it at 12:30 am. I took the dogs out and then went to bed. I lead such an exciting life.

I know where you're coming from. Many years ago, I paid over $4K to fix the back of a $10 rescue dog ... but she was MY rescue dog and it was worth every penny as it gave her another 6 years of useful life. That dog spent its whole life within 10' of me. It's been over 12 years and I still...
