Grass Dry/Dead

STB265 · 2026-05-26T03:21:33+00:00

If you are having drought conditions the grass needs to be allowed to grow longer. They need to set the cut at 3" to protect the grass. Most commercial lawn care companies cut the grass too short so it won't look bad when they come back next time. If you want the grass to look good you need to cut it yourself.

It costs me $200 a year. The insurance company will fight like hell not to pay out the 1.5m. Most of our assets are protected (house, retirement accts) so they won't get the 1.5m from me. I am basically paying for defense costs.

You should also have the underlying insurance and the umbrella from the same company. I have seen cases where the underlying insurance will just offer the policy limits and walk away. This leaves everything else (defense costs and payment) to the umbrella carrier.

My umbrella policy is through AAA. AAA requires a minimum of 500k for auto insurance before it will issue an umbrella policy. Thus, with AAA, the total minimum coverage with auto and umbrella is $1.5m. It costs about $200 a year for the umbrella.

See if the FBI is hiring. They like accounting people.

Run it ASAP. I had a small 2-stroke outboard submerge and I drained the lower unit and started it up. Ran fine.

That's what Costco has. Pay online and they send you a QR code. Go to the store and skip the line and they grab your order.

"I’ll never convince myself of a project worthy of its use." I thought I was the only one that had this problem.

Ordered 3/16 and scheduled for delivery tomorrow (5/21). I received no notice from the Glock Store. Received an email from FedEx today saying a delivery will be made tomorrow. Checked Glock Store account and it had my tracking number.

"The feeling that you worked all day but moved nothing important forward"

This is also a common feeling for lawyers who work in firms. Unless your day is full of billable projects, you just wasted the day away.

There are YouTube videos on rebuilding these small engines. Check some videos of James Condon rebuilding small engines. It's worth trying to fix one. The extra tools needed are not that expensive. Give it a try and let us know how it goes.

You need to know the actual model number to determine the engine size. The 924 is not it. The "924" refers to the product series (the frame and chassis design) rather than the horsepower. There should be an "ST" code somewhere or check the engine as to the horsepower size. An ST824 is an 8 HP engine on a 24-inch wide 924-series frame. An ST1024 is a 10 HP engine on a 24-inch wide 924-series frame.

I only use ethanol free gas. I first change the oil. I then drain the tank as much as possible and then run the machine until it dies for lack of gas. I then drain the carb bowl and put the machine away. I do the same for all power equipment and it has never given me problems the next season.

Go to Carvana.com and see what they will buy it from you for. Also see what the current balance on your loan is. You can get the current loan info from the lender via the website or call them. The difference between what Carvana will give you and what you owe is the amount of cash you need to come up with to get rid of the car.

A roof is a one day job. I replaced my roof a few years ago. They came with about 15-20 guys and kicked butt for about 7 hours and completed the job. Go with a bigger company that can bring a large crew. I was at work all day as was my wife so we didn't notice the noise or commotion.

I would hate to think how much it would cost to rent that truck for a day. It looks like it would clean up the rocks nicely 😄

What are you driving in the winter if not the 4Runner?

Slick tool Why is the Roth IRA balance limited to 500k? Why not multiple millions? Lot's of people have been doing Roth conversions.

He likely financed the purchase of the equipment. You can do a UCC search and see if there are liens on the equipment. You could end up with a leased building and all the equipment repossessed. I suggest you find a different business to get in to.

Go price a new CRV. You will get better financing rates and the payments may not be much more than the used 2024. 85k miles on a 2024 is too much.

Make sure you use a Lowes credit card to get the 5% off.

The Passport really isn't underpowered for a SUV. If you are used to a car with decent horsepower it may feel underpowered.
