Hey Bobby
You can have the green stuff - Just cement your whole yard with green tint - Put some holes in and stick in a few of the Yuka plants or what ever nasty thing that grows out there
Don't laugh to hard - I've seen this done in Vegas

Dick,

They actually encourage that sort of thing out here. Heck, we even have several companies that do a decent bit of business installing fake grass. You just have to vacuum it now and again is all. Water is a precious commodity out here in the desert.

...you know....if I yanked out whats left of the hardscrabble grass that I have and paved it over then I'd probably no longer have to yell at the dogs for digging a hole in it....hmmmm

The ring is still on the lawn and we still have some marshmallows, chocolate bars and graham crackers left. You all could come over and we could make some smores.

I'm still upset that I couldn't make it!! I was installing a new steel man door and frame on my garage Friday afternoon.The wind picked up and blew the new door and frame out of the opening.The good thing is I caught it with my right arm before it smashed into the ground,bad news is I'm in a sling and had to go get a MRI on my right shoulder that dosen't seem to want to work correctly or without pain.I would have like to meet everyone and I wanted a picture with Fourty niners black truck and my black truck.Oh well maybe next time if Bob hosts one.Looks like a good turn out andnice weather.
Joe

Joe, yes I got your email. I've been so busy lately I haven't gotten a chance to much else besides work, work on the yard, work, more work and more work.

I don't have many pictures for a calendar, just what have been posted on this thread. If you want take whatever pictures you want to use. If you have any questions let me know.

BTW, the reason my mailbox is full is I didn't see the notice that my membership expired. I cleared the box now and it's empty. I'll have to re-up my membership when I get a chance.
