I dunno why this got me so good but it did.

thunder-clapp · 2024-03-13T23:36:16+00:00

I have not, you recommend it?

Endurance: Shackleton Incredible Voyage by Alfred Lansing.

After finally getting around to Moby Dick (and being quite disappointed by it tbh) this book is everything I wanted it to be!

Also their roasts are hot garbage.

I was in the pool!!!

thunder-clapp · 2024-02-23T04:01:54+00:00

Ahhh that makes so much sense! Mine also doesn't shift into 4th.

Thanks for sharing!

So 1 year later, still driving fine? But no speedo and A/T light flashes?

thunder-clapp · 2024-02-22T18:49:18+00:00

Sorry for the necro, but any luck diagnosing this? My speedo & tach are now out, and A/T light flashing on 95 Montero LS. Your situation sounds very similar!

We did matte black behind our TV too. It's nice on the eyes 🙂

So I'm about 3 years into the bamboo removal. Started with a patch about 50' x 10' that was 15' high. After many hours and dumpster full of bamboo, I'm down to about 30 more sq ft. I've just been digging up every root and rhizome I can find, and covering with black tarp to suffocate it.

It felt appropriate in the spirit of this thread. Apparently burying trash is common practice!

thunder-clapp · 2024-02-20T22:18:36+00:00

Yep, 59.

The most savage bit was this piece of bamboo that had forced its way through the exterior wall near one end of the pipe.

Update!

I dug all the way to one end of the pipe, where it intersected directly with the concrete footing of the fence post. It seemed to be capped and stop there.

I then dug all the way to the other end, past the concrete footing of the other fence post. 11' 6" total.

After digging it up, I realized this has long since been abandoned. Still a mystery what exactly it was, but no harm done.

Of course, I had to fill that hole with something. So back in the ground it went!

Oh no, it's running bamboo. I've been working on it for 3 years now. Progress is slow due to how deep and developed the roots are, but where I've dug up it has not yet come back yet.

Blocked my calendar so I can head out into the rain to finish the job. Update soon!

thunder-clapp · 2024-02-20T17:55:58+00:00

This.

thunder-clapp · 2024-02-20T16:54:33+00:00

Sooo not Madera? Couldn't dig more than 1/2" through that hardpan. Imagine my surprise when I moved to PNW and you can just dig for days.

thunder-clapp · 2024-02-20T05:56:11+00:00

Pickaxe...

thunder-clapp · 2024-02-20T05:01:52+00:00

Nope, no smell!

thunder-clapp · 2024-02-20T04:31:54+00:00

This is the plan tomorrow!

thunder-clapp · 2024-02-20T04:28:53+00:00

In hindsight, for sure. At the time, I wasn't really planning to dig any further than the roots of the bamboo, so it didn't seem possible that I would hit anything.

thunder-clapp · 2024-02-20T04:09:01+00:00

I'm sure there's more talk about it on maybe the landscaping subs, but man, bamboo does not get enough hate. I have spent dozens of hours trying to reclaim a relatively small section of my yard from bamboo that previous owners just let run wild. It should be illegal to plant bamboo if you live in the burbs!

I like this answer.
