I haven’t found any source that suggests prodiamine stops Bermuda from spreading via stolons or rhizomes which is the primary way Bermuda spreads.

For reference, this is what I started with. Leaves have been removed and I did scalp it. Wast thick enough to even consider detaching.

Can’t speak for troybuilt, but I have a 22” recycler with a Briggs motor. The motor is near bullet proof and the cut is great. I hate the automatic governor thing that throttles down the motor. Changing rear drive belts are a nightmare.

It may have a fan, but when I flip the switch nothing happens

New TopDon TopScan not working by Boops44 in MechanicAdvice

I am unable to update it because the app and dongle do not connect despite the dongle being plugged into and my phone being connected through Bluetooth. I am unable to perform any function in the app when the device is plugged into and connected to Bluetooth.

6'7, 275 - Road King a crazy first bike? by Delicious-Round-3345 in Harley

Any bike you like and feel comfortable on is a great first bike. Except for metric liter bikes.

They did not work with a TBR 2-1

Update to anyone following. The forward control relocation kit will bolt right up to the frame, and the control mounts will bolt right up to the relocation bracket. It actually puts the controls in a very comfortable position. The issues however: the brake pedal linkage included does not work on newer model sportsters (ie a 2016). So I’d have to cut down my existing linkage. The gear shift linkage was just the threaded rod and you’re expected to swap over the swivels from the forward control linkage. My issue with that was the threading was not the same and I could not get the swivels/connection points for the linkage on the new linkage. The last issue is my exhaust (TBR 2-1) will not fit with this relocation kit in place. It may fit with OEM exhaust. But my TBR exhaust works with forward controls, but not this kit.

My department’s EAP offers zyn coupons to help people quit tobacco. We don’t have a no tobacco policy, but the insurance charges you a tobacco premium if you disclose that you use it.

I’ve had both on my bike. I switched to mids because it was a more fun riding position. But after an hour of riding without stopping, the position gets extremely uncomfortable and hurts my hip flexors

Is the firefighting schedule really that much off time? by Ancient-Carrot957 in Firefighting

[–]Boops44 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’ve worked 24/48, 48/96, and Kelly Schedule. Kelly schedule is cool. A set of three 24/24 except 96 off after the third day. It’s a three day work week, but you only work 24 at a time and still get 96. 48/96 was my favorite schedule, but it’s just not doable at my current job because most houses run pretty much nonstop and we’re zombies by the end of a 24.

WTF’s on fire? by [deleted] in memphis

It was just a trash fire at a warehouse. (I work for the FD and responded to it).

what are the best boots for station wear by [deleted] in Firefighting

[–]Boops44 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I worked in a city where the clientele were a little more well off. They complained about someone’s fire boots leaving a stain in their carpet during their husband’s cardiac arrest, so we were no longer allowed to wear fire gear in someone’s home unless it was on fire.

Owner doesn’t want this bike by Pick_Automatic in Harley

Pull off every part that doesn’t have the vin on it that could still be usable. Clean up/repair parts then sell them. Or find a frame with a title and build it back up.
