  1. guy told us to let the grass grow tall the first month or so. It prevents a lot of the small weeds and nuisances from getting the necessary sun and kills it off.

    So our yard doesn't look great at first, when all the lawns are dead and dry in July, we still have grass

     

    Depends on the grass type. You want a good pre-emergent as the soil temp hits 55 and a good post emergent when it’s gets to 70 for weed prevention/treatment. Don’t use weed and feeds.

  2. Hated the trade then as much as I do now. Total over reaction to one playoff series. Robitaille was clearly a Smyth Division phenomena and hadn't excelled in Pittsburgh. The notion that Bruce Driver could replace him on the PP was ludicrous. And don't forget that Nedved was a damn good player as well. Deal probably cost us a second cup, but Western Canadian lug head Colin Campbell was no cup winning coach, I suppose.

     

    I was young when Zubov was dealt. Maybe 10. I vaguely recall one of the reasons for the deal being that Messier didn’t like him. Any truth to that?

  3. It's interesting because the whole appeal of the streaming services was cord cut. However, it seems everybody subs to like 3 or 4 streaming services, so they're essentially back where they started, albeit with more freedom for on-demand watching and zero commercials.

     

    In my house alone, we have Netflix, Amazon prime, Disney Plus, (I have the WWE network just for nostalgia watching while on the treadmill). We also have Spotify and I STILL pay for cable lol.I'm a schmuck. I probably watch 10-12 hours of tv a month, lol.

  4. 31 Thoughts had a great take on this.

     

    It's unfortunate for everyone, no one can defend or condone the comments, times are different now a s hockey should be inclusive.

     

    Like I've stated in this thread, I don't think anyone would argue that at some point, Cherry had to get canned for the stuff he spouts weekly. The game seems to have passed him by, and he frequently makes off color remarks. However, I believe there's some shock that the poppy incident was the straw that broke the camel's back.

     

    It's like a victim on an abusive relationship who's dealt with verbal and physical abuse, cheating, lying, etc., who finally decides to leave the guy because he left the toilet seat up. It's like, "yeah, you're right for leaving him. He's an asshole... but THAT's what pushed you over the edge?"

  5. I don’t understand how the exchange of draft picks work in each scenario.

     

    Car has a player. The habs make that RFA an offer and he agrees.

     

    Car has 7 days to either agree or let him walk. I get that. And I understand that the rounds of each draft pick is dependent upon the terms of the contract.

     

    What I don’t get is what picks are involved and who gets what in either case here? Who gets what if Carolina didn’t match? Who gets what if they do?

  6. Dunny, do you see yourself using the Weber performer after the genesis?

     

    I was always a charcoal man and had the 22 inch master touch, but then I got a spirit 310 and it’s a game changer. I still smoke all my ribs and briskets on the WSM’s I have, but I can’t bring myself to waste the charcoal and spend 35 minutes waiting for the coal to ash over to grill a burger and a steak for dinner for my wife and I, lol.

  7. Had the siding redone on my house and garage earlier in the summer. Inside one of the walls of the garage, I apparently had a nest of yellow jackets. After the work was done, I kept seeing some of the yellow jackets trying to find their way back in, but it was all sealed up, lol.
  8. I’m actually going to have an HVAC guy come in and give me his thoughts. He’s a close friends brother, so I trust he won’t bang me.

     

    You guys have any tips for wet sanding? I just had a new window and door installed, plus they fixed some water damage in my ceiling. They did a pretty good job on the drywall and spackle, I just have to sand it before I repaint. I figured wet sanding was better than traditional sanding with one of those sanding blocks hay connects to a vacuum cleaner to collect the dust.

     

    Thoughts?

  9. I was going to go CAC and convert to gas heat from oil when we moved in. But I shot my load on new siding and a new roof (because we went solar). I honestly like the idea of being able to control AC by room instead of paying to cool a whole zone. Thoughts?
  10. Ugh, my town sucks. My permit got denied to add a top floor to my house because we didn't have a CO for my basement, which was finished when we bought the house, and because in the floor plans, they listed a room as an office and it had to be changed to a study. Our other issue is that they said we don't have enough space between the sides of the house and the property line, and the front of the house to the street. The dumb thing is that every house in the neighborhood is basically the same set up as mine, so every house has this issue. We now have to go to the board and get it OK'd. Its all easy fixes, its just now more time consuming. These bastards get you for everything.

     

     

    I’m surprised you’re having trouble in Suffolk. Usually it’s Nassau who needlessly crunches your balls and makes you pay an ungodly amount for the pleasure.
