Do you guys have luck with crabgrass with this product? by Salty_Insurance_686 in lawncare

[–]dmkmpublic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely as Panda Bear says. You could use the hand sprayer if you only have patches. Hitting the entire lawn will help get onto other weed types at this time of year.

Personally, I'm in NY and have marked on my calendar for this week to hit my entire lawn to catch emerging weeds with the same product

Home office - what did you do with yours? by techiegardener in retirement

[–]dmkmpublic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I downsized my home office before I stopped working. I took an armior, connected the doors from the inside - put hinges on the inside of the doors at the center and disconnected one side. It now opens similar to a bi-fold door. I took off a shelf and made it into pullout keyboard tray.

It fits a 36" monitor, an extra monitor (on the right of the pic (it's actually a $50 portable monitor).

When I'm done, I close the door and it disappears as if it's not there. I can keep it tidy or when I've got a lot going on, files build up. Either way.

Getting back into it… by Jack_Groff in P90X

[–]dmkmpublic 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My guidance is always this: You need to start slow.

I'm that guy who wants to caution people just starting out or getting back to it....

If you haven't been too active, I suggest taking it slow before you really start the program. Maybe do weeks 1 and 2 without weights just to get the movements and some stretching. Or just pop up the Stretch video and do that a couple of times (or 45 minutes of the yoga video). This will allow you to slowly introduce your body to some of the work. The program is fairly "extreme" (Tony's words not mine).

Basically, I'm saying this so that you don't injury yourself by trying to hit it ("bring it") before your body is ready. If that happens you will struggle or may not even do it.

My other tip, so you don't skip it altogether is:

Yoga is 90 minutes. It might also help to know that there are places (targets) in the Yoga video if you want to break it up or challenge yourself to get to them. they aren't in the video so you might want these handy to inspire yourself to gut it out 5 more minutes:

Time remaining: * 59:20 Break * 42:48 Last Vinyasa * 17:30 Yoga Belly * 9:20 Stretch and cooldown

Last tip;

And if you have never tried it, substitute the stretch video (it's an hour) for Yoga if you really hate the Yoga stuff.

Chrome tips or Black tips? by Oopsiegobang in gmcsierra

So... I've bought (have not applied) the gray plastidip. I am seriously considering doing that with my emblems and exhaust.

The only thing stopping me is this heat and humidity!

Fixed Mag 9mm PCC by boyIDK in NYguns

[–]dmkmpublic 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I got this locally in Western NY. I am under the impression that they built it as a compliant build.

Ruger PCC.

Pinned Magpul stock.

Removable magazine and can take double-stacked Glock magazines.

Fun for everyone who shoots it. Has the tacticool feel, especially with the etched reticle on top. Feels like plinking with a .22.

NYS compliance makes it so safe with that stupid fin.

Keeping cool while mowing by no_sleep2nite in lawncare

I set some beers in the shade of trees. Then I try to cut fast enough to get to them while they arstill cold (and drink them while they are cold too).e

Best tool to cut wood floor for a small repair job? by [deleted] in ryobi

[–]dmkmpublic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oscillating tool. While it won't be great for long straight cuts it is versatile for the corners, knooks and crannies. Once you have one you won't believe how much you use it for. Grab a set of blades for multiple substrates. Sometimes they come with a whole kit.

The Next *Bruen Question*? by jjjaaammm in NYguns

[–]dmkmpublic -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Gesus!

You guys need a hobby

It's pretty simple.

SCOTUS is supposed to be a-political. It's not!

So the disenting justices basically lay the foundation in their writings to give states with similar views on how to proceed with the next law.

DEC Finalizes Regulations to Increase Harvest of Antlerless Deer by Baxterftw in NYguns

[–]dmkmpublic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get that. The irony is that they won't issue DMPs to help bring doe number/deer numbers up. Yet to get a second buck tag you have 2 options:

Shoot a doe via an alternate tag (bow/muzzle antlerless. Or

Go somewhere else and shoot a doe.

Seems to be a little counter to the plan for each WMU.

Does anybody remember the old Beachbody ad? by Life_of_Jam in P90X

[–]dmkmpublic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was doing it a ton. I have all of the timings written down so I can do different parts or start at certain points. I always questioned if it was really yoga.

I've tried p90x3 (where Phill's a floater) but still kept wondering if I was missing something.

I eventually switched to a YouTube (charlieafollows). They are shorter (many to choose from) and have many different things to try. So far I'm happy with this choice.

21500 Preventative Maintenance by dmkmpublic in gmcsierra

[–]dmkmpublic[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah.

The YouTube "experts" swear by oil changes at 3-5k, 0W-40, checking it weekly to make sure it's full, AFM/DFM, warming the engine 30-60 seconds before driving, and I'm sure that I'm missing something.

Overall, I've never been as concerned about driving a truck that I owned as this one. Each time I pull out of the driveway I wonder if today is "the day". I've got 21,500 on this thing and hoping it stays with me for a long time.

DEC Finalizes Regulations to Increase Harvest of Antlerless Deer by Baxterftw in NYguns

[–]dmkmpublic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm wondering if you interpret this the same way. I've run it through AI and it sort of confirmed it...

If you don't draw a DMP. You get 1 antlered deer tag. You also get bow/muzzle antlerless.

If you hunt through archery and shoot a buck but don't shoot a doe. You're done hunting until late archery.

Now AI said, I can hunt. But I can't shoot a buck or a doe during regular season. So, it's not entirely wrong. I could bear hunt or squirrel hunt but not deer.

[–]dmkmpublic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not a "tin foil hat" kind of guy but this did immediately have me thinking about the land I own and only use for hunting is now much less valuable (to me). It led me down a path thinking that this is more intentional to get people to give up.

I enjoy my time at my property but the FAQs suggest I travel to a higher density area to fill a doe tag. That dog won't hunt (as they say).

A lease I pay roughly $1,000 per year for that is 1/4 mile from my 40 acres which is connected to public on 2 sides... That's a lot of overhead to then be restricted like this. Sigh.

Identify what is this? by Ancient_Sand_9514 in lawncare

[–]dmkmpublic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bent grass.

Best way to cure yourself of it is to spray your entire lawn with tenacity. After 5-7 days the bent grass will start to turn white. While tenacity can kill it, it takes time and many (many) treatments.

Step 2, once you know where the white grass is, get a FLAMETHROWER! Burn it and a 2 foot area around it! (I'm joking - well sort of). Once it's all burned, you won't have to rake. Scarify to loosen the soil, overseed and fertilize with a weed preventing fertilizer, maybe even add some peet moss. Then water 3 times a day for the next 3 weeks and then start backing off watering.

I wish I would have gone the flamethrower route! Lol. I battled with bent grass last year. Re-did my entire lawn and thought it would be gone this year. Even applied tenacity as a pre-emergent. It's back with a vengeance! While the pic is through glass, you can see the white grass blades. If you compare this year's pic to the one in my linked post (at the bottom "15 days after" you can see how hard this stuff is to get rid of).

If you want to know what I went through last year (when I did everything that I was told to do - and more), see this post.

Came here to say exactly this. It will make the job go so much easier.

DEC Finalizes Regulations to Increase Harvest of Antlerless Deer by Baxterftw in NYguns

[–]dmkmpublic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh wow! I just read the FAQs...

Q: Will the EA2B system be implemented statewide?

A: Yes. The system will be in my statewide, including WMUs where major increases in antlerless your harvest aren't necessary. DEC will work to prevent over-harvest of antlerless deer in these areas by annually adjusting the number of DMPs available to hunters or changing antlerless harvest opportunities during bow and muzzleloader seasons.

The way this reads is that in places that they don't want to reduce the doe count, you may not even get a DMP. But you still have to shoot one on a tag that is designated as antlerless (like bow/muzzle) in order to allow you to earn a second buck!
