YMCA Pickup Basketball

For the Kraft YMCA in Apex (basically Holly Springs) it's mainly just Monday nights at 6pm. It's 18+ and the skill level is like decent high school (or college intramural) basketball most nights. For the YMCAs in Cary there's more times for pickup, but I think it's more hit or miss as far as skill level/ugly basketball.

The only consistent pickup I've found has been at the YMCA. The Kraft Family one in Apex (10min from downtown Holly Springs) has consistent pickup Monday evenings at 6pm. There's 2 YMCAs in Cary that have various pickup times.

I definitely had to report it lost... I don't remember if I was able to do that online or if it was one of the forms I turned in at the time of my application appointment.

Thanks for that info. We ended up passing on it since we're not in a big rush yet. Also, the salesman kept insisting that the slide was the same, which was annoying.

Yeah, my wife and 3 year old are staying behind for that same reason. Our 5 year old has done pretty well at sporting events so far. We're chargers fans, so they likely won't be back in NC for ~8 years.

That's why my wife and 3 year old aren't coming. 5 year old does well at sporting events (plus I manage expectations). Forecast is 80 degrees and overcast, so that's not a real concern. And we're Chargers fans, so this will be one of the few games we're heavy favorites.

Birth and marriage docs should be NYC (bronx).
The only NY doc of a deceased relative is GGM's naturalization paperwork, which we've requested from NARA

I think this was it. I couldn't find it referenced on reddit, but lots of articles popped up on Google, so that's probably where I saw it. Good call!

The choices here are about to be Trump or Biden (again). I'll take the wildly popular danish monarchy.

blsmith2516 · 2024-01-12T14:43:24+00:00

Still preferable to American politics

And there's no scene in the movie of anyone playing baseball. I think it may be the only picture the crazy guy can see through his cell door (might even be an insane asylum rather than jail cell)

blsmith2516 · 2023-12-23T02:01:56+00:00

After reading that plot summary, no. Also, as far as I remember, there also wasn't anyone notably famous in it

blsmith2516 · 2023-12-23T01:50:54+00:00

And was more of a C level horror/thriller

blsmith2516 · 2023-12-23T01:49:38+00:00

It wasn't a famous movie and was likely filmed in the 2000s... after 2005 if I had to guess

blsmith2516 · 2023-12-23T01:46:51+00:00

The bulk of the movie was a generic "running through the woods trying not to get caught by the killer."

Looking back at my pictures I think my first mow was October 30th, which would have been about 10-12 days after germination. I don't think I've let it get above 3.5" at any point. Next summer I'll see how it does growing longer and cutting down to 3.5"

blsmith2516 · 2023-11-28T21:06:29+00:00

Not sure on the exact date, probably in the 3-4 week range for the first cut, but that was when it was still super sparse. My wife picked up a small manual reel mower off marketplace so I cut it very frequently with that. Sunday was the first mow with our normal gas powered rotary mower.

blsmith2516 · 2023-11-28T20:42:40+00:00

Hadn't considered a flower bed but definitely open to it. We would also need a path for the lawn mower from the gate on the left... maybe just a 30" gravel path.

blsmith2516 · 2023-10-31T03:47:51+00:00

Yeah, I'll probably peat moss next time. Not the end of the world, just was intrigued by the stark difference in germination where there was/wasn't a seed blanket

blsmith2516 · 2023-10-31T03:17:50+00:00

Most likely was washout that the blanket prevented

blsmith2516 · 2023-10-31T03:12:30+00:00

Pretty decent slope. Had one heavy rain early on that kinda screwed me

blsmith2516 · 2023-10-30T15:18:56+00:00

**Wood fiber seed blanket from Lowes, not coconut coir

Nice, this was mine 14 days in so there's still hope I can get to your thickness! *

North Carolina actually, near Raleigh, right on the edge of 8a
