May 2018 all topic thread

Hello all,

Welcome to the mayflower month. As everyone knows April showers bring mayflowers. LOL I for one am glad April is gone. Not a good month with monitor break downs, and car registration in same month.

They call that stuff Artificial Turf these days. But I like Astro Turf better.

I can't say I miss mowing lawns, anyone who went to the Tech Days at Man Town knows I had my fair share of it!

I now live on a fairly steep slope so my efforts lately have been to clear a defensible space for fire and make some trails in the backyard. I've finally hacked my way behind what was a thousand square foot poison oak bush. Today I sprayed 3 gallons of Round Up for Poison Oak all over it from above. It was a milestone to hit it from above.

Hmmm, I wonder if goats that were fed poison oak might produce goat milk that would make the milk drinker immune to poison oak allergy?
