What non automotive projects and repairs are you doing?

Living in a four season brings joy; the fall rains will be here soon.
Columbus Day weekend has been the start of yard work for me. This fall I must explore ways to control creeping Charlie.

A Google search -- Is triclopyr safe for lawns? The easiest weeds to control in grass lawns are annual broadleaves. ...Triclopyr is also an effective broadleaf herbicide but will cause injury to bermudagrass lawns and other stoloniferous turfgrass; it is safe to use on most cool-season turfgrasses such as bluegrass, ryegrass, and tall fescue lawns.

What is your experience?

I thought Charlie didnt surf.....

One of the Triclopyr family is deadly to aquatics, so make sure you have the right one (the ester?) if you have wet animals nearby.

What is your take on Automatic Roll Out Downspout Extender?

[RickHaleParker]

Watching a movie on Hulu called Cosmos.
It is about three amateur astronomers in a P2 Volvo V70 that make first contact with extraterrestrial beings.

I would have to roll it up every two days. What’s the advantage here? Allows the grass to grow underneath the spout

Kind of hard to pin down the color because the whole movie is a night scene.

What color do you think it is?

The weight of the water unrolls it. It rolls back up on its own. Spreads the water over a wider area so the flow does not washout the ground under the spout. You don't need to mow and trim around it like you do with a splash block.

Two days ago I drove my 1977 F350 truck with a 25 year old trailer about 12 miles to haul off some branches. I was prepared with tools, air tank and cell phone. No drama occurred. I am grateful.

Vehicles are deviant, they act up when the tool gods are not watching.

Yup. Murphy would agree.
