    Well, she chose well. But she really should see this stuff.

    I get to spray the grass for moss today. Moss grows rampantly around here. It’s green so from a distance the lawn looks ok but there is moss everywhere. We’ll attempt to get rid of it and get the grass growing. I get to do that after work.

    We get moss but only on the north side which shady 99% of the year. I use powdered lime and it’s gone in a few days

    Cut the grass for the first on the year on Friday. No rain it it’ll need to cut again on Tuesday.

    Well, my wife decided she needed a floral barrier to the garden. So I had to remove the grass in that area. I rented a sod cutter that worked pretty good. But I’m still sore from all that work. Lifting the rolls of sod, they are very heavy and there’s no good ergonomic way to do it. But I’m slowly recovering. That cutter worked pretty good. Much easier than a shovel.

    2 days at 89F last week, 1 at 88 and 2 in the low 80’s. I got toasted replacing some siding on the house. It still better than to 33 they say we are getting Monday AM. We get big temperature swings on bot winter and summer, but nowhere near many as we’ve experienced this winter.

    We have low slope roof over the kitchen, 12″ over 20 ft. I’m have someone quote replacing it with a fiberglass deck. It currently has rolled asphalt which is only 5 years old but it’s already showing granular loss and will need to be resealed this summer. It just seems to be a maintenance headache. It’s 640 Sqft. I had someone quote a metal roof but he also told me I’d to be careful walking on it. That was enough to dissuade me from metal. I’ve been on plenty of sky decks with fiberglass flooring that you can walk on.

    We have a metal roof on a outdoor shed covering. Very slippery when wet and also dry. Not recommended for older folks like me who have to get up there and clean it and I’m busy slipping all over the place. No golf shoes on that!! They are more like lean toos. Fully open to the elements but has a roof. It stays pretty dry in there and we have a lot of stuff stored that is used often. Riding lawnmower, attachments to said mower (used them this weekend), and a lot of other stuff that is not used so much. My son’s home made forge is in there as well. Lumber and son’s other tools. As long as it that stuff stays dry, it is ok. So far so good. But I hate getting on that roof. It’s under a bunch of cedars and they drop a lot of stuff on it.

    Anthony Ashnault came out of retirement to go against Real Woods in RAF08. We all hoped he’d keep it close and he did. Down 3-2 with under 10 secs left and Woods putting on the defensive Ash Nault tried to flip over Woods in hope of getting to the back of Woods legs. Almost, Woods caught him for the TD and exposure for a 7-2 win. The next day he announces he’s leaving Princeton and heading back to the Rutgers staff.

    I did not catch RAF 08. Real is the deal for sure. I do’nt know much about Ashnault but kudos to him for doing it, making a little money, and on his decision to head back to Rutgers.

    I rented a sod cutter once. I didn’t know the depth was adjustable and end up cutting 2.5″ slabs. I couldn’t roll them, so I had to cut into short slabs and drag them on a tarp to where I wanted to place them,
