KRM grass seed mixture from Jonathan Green,,, $87.18 for 25 #
Oh yeah, I saw the Jonathan Green seed, expensive! Which is why I tried the Titan.
At $87 for 25 pounds I'd leave the yard bald!
Good evening all,
I did get to see the May issue of CTT, but I am not sure if it is part of the regular subscription or if I accidentally triggered the 30 day trial time segment for the larger, pay site. This whole process has not been very clear or well thought out. Work was ok today. Fired up the John Deere tonight. Runs like a champ. I hope everyone has a good day.
Keep on training,

I see now from reading on-line and Spank I can not afford moss. Needs too much booze for my budget.
Flintlock76 Last fall I got fed up with areas under a maple in the front yard where grass wouldn't grow. I bought some Titan "Sun and Shade" mix and put it down in the bad areas. Low and behold it started coming up in about two weeks, then the cold weather arrived and it went dormant like the rest of the lawn. So right now I'm waiting for the permanent arrival of the warm weather to see what happens. So far, so good. It looks like the Titan's working fine. The thing is, it's $50 for a 25 pound bag. I'll let you know how it works out.

KRMMaybe Irish Moss would cover some areas where the Grass just won't grow?
Afternoon folks!
Sunny and nice - 70's!
Just returned from ride-along with my son to get his first COVID shot. Anyone can get the shots here now. Took 2 hrs due to traffic. Bozos at city did not publish that they were blocking a bunch of streets/intersections off around the fairgrounds which FEMA is using. They even blocked off entire lanes so if you pulled onto the correct street with a left turn your were shuttled away from the entrance and would have to pick one's way around hoping to find a way into the line. Son had to admit my superior knowledge of that part of town allowed us to get on the best routes. Thousands stuck in wrong lanes/streets and not moving an inch. They will be there for hours...
Parts from ERR on the way to repair the G Gauge Bachman TMCC conversion ten wheeler. Owner gave the go-ahead for the costs ($210 just for the boards). Labor TBD....already did a couple hours of work disassembling, checking all the wiring, etc.
DJ - Happy B-Day!
Regards, Roy
Okay Spank, I get it, but you got me thinking that maybe I would be better planting moss than trying to kill it here. Maybe Irish Moss would cover some areas where the Grass just won't grow?
Things are quiet here on the North Bluff for the most part. I have a few things I would like to do but just wet enough to not do them.
Spank, are you planting or killing Moss in your grass? Never heard of planting moss but could be a cure to the forest floor no grass will grow issue we have?
TGIF - Ran over to get Jenni, made our run with 15 minutes to spare and went to Olive Garden for soup salad and breadsticksWas home by midnight. Up early for work - I'm running dispatch, which is ZERO fun, but I'll be out by 5.Viewing tonight, the FD is taking a truck, so I'll be going with them. Jenni has a meeting with the annulment lady and I'll meet her somewhere after we are both done.Yeah - I don't see where I can browse through the current issue, either, the preview looks interesting.....Happy Birthday Spank!!!Work is screaming at me - check back later

Good morning all,
Got an email yesterday saying May issue would be viewable online today. Hmmmmm. Must be "technical" issues? I hope everyone has a good day.
Finally got the roof coatings for the shed. Hopefully this will get done this weekend. Don't believe I have ever seen trees start to bud out in March before. Not a bad thing. Not a good day at work. Noises are being made about people going back to the office. So stupid. Watched the Indycar Iracing tonight. Not the real thing but close enough. Supposed to be really windy tonight. I hope everyone has a good day.
This is interesting - just received this.
As I read it one will be able to access all past issues of CTT as long as one has a subscription. No extra costs. This looks like a good thing to me at this time.
----------------------------------
"With the recent launch of our new website, Trains.com, we are excited to announce that all Classic Toy Trains subscribers will have access to the digital edition of the magazine directly on the website!
The May 2021 issue will be live in the Classic Toy Trains Archive section of Trains.com this Friday, March 26. To view that issue as well as all issues from your past, present, and future subscription terms, you simply need to log in to the site with the email and password associated with your subscription. Each issue will be posted on the site early, so subscribers will be able to read it before anyone else!"
------------------------------------
The email further discusses (as I read it) that the previous digital manager Zinio that was used to read the digital versions is no longer required. One will still be able to access their Zinio digital library, but after the May issue all content will be online at Trains.com.
Good morning folks!
Cold front blasted through last night. Much cooler today, cloudy. A bit of rain.
Spent some time yesterday cleaning some tools in the garage.
SNIP - yep - hang in there!
Almost forgot - got up the energy yesterday afternoon (It was really nice out) to clean the rear gutters. I had forgotten that the tornado in 2019 threw up an incredible amount of dirt that washed off the roof. Gutters had 3/4" of mud in them. So got a small trowel and scooped most of it out prior to yesterday's storms. Did not get to it earlier since I had been in the hospital twice since then
56 and cloudy or foggy. 20% chance of wetness.Getting ready to start Human Services Board meeting. Followed immediately Veterans' Task Force. Dr. at 1:30 [finally].Enjoy your day.
Happy Hump Day! I hope everyone is doing well.
Snip - Keep your head up. Make sure to follow up with a thank you note very soon. Also, please remember most don't even get an interview these days.
Rich - Good for you and Jenni. Do what you believe is right.
Good night,
Joe
Still waiting on roof coatings. Was supposed to be here on a nice, dry, warm sunny day. Now due to arrive during a cold wet day tomorrow. Go figure. Did pick up sticks for about an hour. Should mow this weekend. South 40 is getting tall. May just hit that Saturday. The more I look at this "NEW" TRAINS website the less I like it. I clicked on two items that did not have a lock symbol on them and it said I had 6 items to go. ????? If this is a plan to squeeze more money from subscribers, I think this will blow up in their face. I am guessing some bean counter came up with this "brilliant???" idea. Go figure. I hope everyone has a good day.
Hang in there Snip and keep looking. I don't know how old you are but what I found is if your in your mid to late 50s or older they say it don't matter but it does.
Neighbor got his replacement lift arms today and they are on. A much better design on the bucket pins than on the one that broke. He should be good now. $2,500 later out of a machine scrap yard in SD. He is happy.
Just keep throwing "stuff" at the wall Snip, some of it's bound to stick sooner or later.
I had a Zoom interview this morning, it seemed to be a position I could really get into.
But, when it ended, I had a feeling they would keep looking (sigh!)
Good morning all!
Sunny start to the day and then some rain again tonight with possible storms. 70's ahhhhhhhh...
Did begin the day with the El Cam, started her up, and was checking the electric choke (which seems to not be working now) when I got diverted by my buddy (George for those that have met him at York) who stopped by to drop off a Legacy Big Boy that had loosened/then dropped the screw that holds the main/side rods on the right front engine - caused it to bend the valve eccentric rod into a "U". He had the screw which was lucky. Normally one cannot straighten these rods without breaking them - but lucked out in this case. Put it on a small anvil in the 1 ton arbor press and slowly pressed it straight without any fractures. Reinstalled with some blue Loctite, lubed up, test run - all good! Checked all the other screws.
Good Morning!!Gray and 50F - rain later.Moved many things to the attic last night and brought a few down. My Hallicrafters C-38 is downstairs now. Needs knobs and the tuner stalk is missing. So, I guess I'll be on the lookout for those things.Chicken dinner at Jenni's and we watched NY Electric Trains live sale until 11 when we passed out.If I get time and the weather holds, I'll get the road runner out of storage and cleaned - it needs a bath really bad. I'll probably keep it stored until May then bring it home.Well, Jenni is finishing up RCIA, so there's that. No kids involved and none coming, so there is no concern there. Her annullment will be done sooner than later.
We want to do it right, we know a judge on the tribunal and also Mom is friends with the church "lawyer". We feel that in 6 months, this will be done and we can move on. She wants a church wedding. I'm way good with that.
That's all from here, nothing on tap tonight, so it's a night "off".
Cheese toast and coffee. 57 and raining. Got to drive Wifey's boss to get a table [if it can be transported in the rain].
Finally some light at the end of the spamming tunnel, I hope. Kev, I mostly concur with your thoughts on annulment. One daughter has been waiting on annulment to go through for several years, married current husband outside of church and now I have a seventh grandchild which I would not have had if they had waited for the creaky wheels of whatever hierarchy has their brain cavity placed in an impossible position to turn. (Tell us, Mike, how do you really feel?) Several other issues that were stressing me got resolved as well. I hope everybody has a good day.
Rain, and cooling,
Spread gravel for our neighbor Brain because he still does not have replacement lift arms for his Bobcat he broke, then he helped me install a tall toilet for wifey today in the back laundry room 1/2 bath, just to find out the darn PVC flange was broken from the hill-rod plumbers that did this house, (why it was leaking some in the first place) Jerks!!! So I got to get a repair kit, and we will pull it back up and re-do it. Just my luck! Can't trust anyone these days, no one has any pride in their work!!!
Just thinking Rich, at your age why waste your time, GOD will be the judge, not the church. JMHO Church is a man made thing to bend the rules as they want. The way you live is what should be on top. I know many won't agree but that is fine with me, to each his own. But good luck. Case in point,,,,
My brother is getting married in June to his mistress of 13+ years after being with his wife he divorced after 40 years,,,WTH????? How stipid is that??????? Just do what you want and forget the other junk, your too old to make a big change either way. ( unless they want to make sure they get ALL of your money)
Glad I went through my two X wifes before I was 30.
Anj - got it. Good luck!
Roy -
I need my first marriage annulled - married in the church - and Jenni needs her civil ceremony annulled - so we can have a church wedding.
It's something she wanted and I asked if she wanted it.
Her's is a slam dunk, since it's civil, mine is more complicated, since it was in church.
Afternoon/morning folks!
Lotta rain yesterday - over an inch and more on the way. Sunny today - 70 and very nice out.
Will try to piddle with the El Cam today.
MikeC - good news about the ring!
Anj - annulment papers?
54, cloudy and misting rain. Cloudy and chance of rain today.
11:00 with Hispano to look at a vaccination sight here in Rolesville.1:00 in person meeting with new Human Services Director.Raisin Brand for breakfast.Have a good one.
Happy Tuesday from foggy Central Jersey.63F today and showers later in the afternoon.Right after I punched out last night I was in bed. 4 hours sleep will do that to ya. Slept through 3 fire calls, I was that unconscious.Plans for Friday Night already - attend viewing of past chief of Hamilton Fire and past president of the County Fireman's Association,Funeral Saturday Morning, early.Off to Jenni's after work and after I get some stuff in the attic. We'll be cleaning the kitchen and dining room and doing annulment paperwork.Not much else to report from herePrayers for FifeMom and Fife and family, Roy and his BIL and anyone else in need.Back later
Nice day here, light rain this evening.
Cody (our dog) got skunked on Saturday evening.
Thankfully Wal-Mart was open and had De-Skunk shampoo in stock.
Tonight I took him by the same place, he went searching for it, I guess he wants to settle the score -silly dog!
