A buddy of mine in RI says to just use RI #2 but not sure where in CT you are and how it would do for you.

Good morning guys.

Miles I have always had good luck with Lesco products. You get them at John Deere Landscape.

Good morning everyone.

Not very good with growing things. Up here the "lawn" is a weed patch in the middle of the woods that I chop down from time to time.

Good morning!! exranger06, you make me miss my old Bronco. Browsing at your build made me look at my re-build of my pickup. Looking at it I'm amazed how much time has passed since I did any real work to it.

Morning everyone,

Looks nice out there. Got to lay down some mulch. Every time I go out it's raining. I fertilized the lawn, why I don't know. I will only have to mow it more

Tonight should help with generator sales, Brendon.

Looking like a rough patch of weather about to head through. The company had me take my tools home and put me on standby to report anywhere in the state tonight.

In other news:

Anyone got any input on the new Focuses? Been looking at older ones but for a decent one everyone wants almost 10 grand. MSRP on new is 18k. Seems like a no-brainer for almost 100k fewer miles and a warranty.

I just heard on the news that 12 car makers are trying to make it illegal to work on the electronics of your own car.

Evening guys.

Seems like the '12s had clutch problems, otherwise they are great. We've had a few '12s at work for the last few years and they seem to hold up pretty well. 160 HP is a lot of power for a compact car, and they're capable of almost 40 MPG on the highway.

They drive differently than many expect because they don't use a conventional automatic transmission. It's more of an automated manual; there's a clutch instead of a torque converter.

Yeah, I think the transmission is the only real complaint I have heard about the Focus. Nice little car, and "fun" to drive. And the transmission complaints seem to just be people not liking the way it shifts, no real problems.

My sister bought a new '14, she loves it, rides good, gets a constant 38-40mpg.
