its only 73 degrees and overcast, but so muggy that I'm sweating through my shirt trying to get the alternator off my bug. i gave up when the sun came out, not worth it.
going to have to pull the intake manifold off which pisses me off cause i put new gaskets on it when i put it together and used copper sealer crap during the alternator conversion so them bitches aren't going to want to come off. let his be a lesson, don't use the alternator you have laying around in your garage even if its good, damn thing might crap out on you after a month and you'll be doing the job all over again.
 
until next summer when the grass all dies again. iv redone the lawn back there probably 6 times in the last 20 years.

Diesel exhaust fluid heavily diluted with water makes for an incredibly effective fertilizer. Cheap too if you buy the off brand stuff. If you poke around on lawn care forums, you can find the dilution rates for it. I went from dirt to this in less than 3 months. I tried all kinds of fertilizer in the past and nothing worked as well as this redneck method lol. I got a 70/30 mix of weed and grass seed since I didn’t want to spend a fortune on watering my lawn constantly. (A healthy amount of “weeds” Will help hold moisture in the soil) I don’t even water the lawn in the summer now, the occasional rain we get is plenty to keep it green.

I feed my dog these “grass saver” biscuits. She LOVES them and it contains some vitamins and amino acids that balance the PH of her pee. No more dead spots. I fought with the lawn for a couple years until I found my groove and now it’s practically zero maintenance aside from mowing once a week.

Bets of luck! Sometimes soil quality in your area is just so bad that maintaining a nice lawn is just more work than it’s worth. Everywhere is different, just gotta find what works for your location.
 
Hot Rod Drag Week is this week. and I'm sitting here at work watching the live stream instead of participating.
Same.
My uncle took the week off to see it. MIR yesterday and today I believe. And then Cecil county later this week.
 
i am so burned out on pouring epoxy. and iv got at least 3 more to do (i have a feeling more will get added) and sense i can only pour one per day, my whole week gets to suck. :angry:

You could make it more interesting by sprinkling dead bugs in there for posterity.

i did drop a marble from a spray paint can into one one time.
I would do Cheezits and M&Ms. 🤷‍♀️🤣
fresh out of those, but i do have sour gummy skittles.

and remember, depending on where in the US you live, this could have an effect on your electric grid. 😲
