Cold Lake Kid, SASS # 51474 Posted July 17, 2022 Share Posted July 17, 2022 GRUMP! I live beside the South Nations Wetlands Preserve. After three lawns getting so overrun with weeds and requiring re-sodding, I gave up, sprayed it with Roundup and then planted Clover! I now have a green ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,lawn(?) that's the envy of the neighbours. That clover chokes out every weed that tries to take root. (And the rabbits love it!) NOW STAY OFF IT WHILE IT RE-SEEDS! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grumpy Old Man Posted July 19, 2022 Share Posted July 19, 2022 Was out mowing field with zero turn mower and it just died. Took a little to figure out it was blowing fuse to ignition switch. Thought switch was bad, so ordered a new one. Not the problem. Going to call dealer and see if they have an answer. And got 1.3" of rain since. Yard looks like crap. My alias is legit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tell me more about clover. Does it take a lot of water and what do you do to care for it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cold Lake Kid, SASS # 51474 Posted July 20, 2022 Share Posted July 20, 2022 I bought a 50 pound bag of white clover and spread it by hand. I haven't watered it at all this year, but we have had some good rain. I just keep an eye on the soil in the raised Hosta Beds around the front verandah and if bed soil looks dry, turn on the sprinkler for 30 to 40 minutes. Up here, after doing a tree harvest, the logging roads get a seeding of clover to help hold and stabilize the road. The clover drives it's roots deep and dense. You may have to water more often in Arizona. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackwater 53393 Posted July 24, 2022 Share Posted July 24, 2022 Saw this on another thread! Something about my “status”! My “status” just reached an annoyed level of grump because of this!! Please copy and paste this to your status if you're constantly being asked to copy and paste things to your status by people who copy and paste things to their statuses. Many people won't copy and paste this, but my truly sarcastic friends will copy and paste it because they're sarcastic by nature. If you don't copy and paste it, then this means you hate bacon. And if you hate bacon, the government wins, and a unicorn dies. Possibly puppies as well. Also baby ducks." Damned busybodies!! 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackwater 53393 Posted July 25, 2022 Share Posted July 25, 2022 GRUMP!!! Damned foot swelled up yesterday because I sat around with it on the floor instead of keeping it propped up. If I’m moving around with proper footwear, it doesn’t give any trouble. If I’m up and down and not just sitting all day, I can do whatever I want. If I take the day off and watch the races, I have to prop that foot up as long as I’m sitting. I’m starting to exercise some and that’ll eventually solve the swelling problems, but today I have to lay around with it propped up for it to get back to normal size and I HATE laying around when there’s stuff I need to do!! NO SAD FACES DAMMIT!! Those things make me even grumpier!! 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cold Lake Kid, SASS # 51474 Posted August 7, 2022 Share Posted August 7, 2022 JUST A BIT. Too hot at the match yesterday. Had to stop partway through a stage! Heat got me discombobulated. Rifle front sight decided to start doing a dance and the muzzle and targets grayed out. Opened the action before I grounded the rifle on the table. Ice pack on the neck and a cold wet towel on the old bald head, while sitting in the shade for a bit and I bounced back. Pard's daughter was shooting with us, (she's a Nurse in her spare time) and she looked after me till I was OK GRUMP! Never had that happen before! Gonna have to watch that in future. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackwater 53393 Posted August 7, 2022 Share Posted August 7, 2022 Got a new semi-automatic shotgun last weekend. It needed to be disassembled before it was fired, (manufacturer’s instructions) to be sure that everything was cleaned and properly lubed. So, Saturday, I took it down to my gunsmith buddy’s‘cause he has a nice range and ‘cause the maintenance instructions were obviously not up to date with changes made in manufacturing. The gun was perfectly clean and only required lubrication because we took it apart. I loaded up a magazine of the recommended ammunition and proceeded to let it rip. About the third shot, it put me on my backside! I’m not even close to being in shape right now to be shooting unfamiliar ordnance!! My strength, balance, coordination, stamina are really diminished and I need to do a bunch of getting in shape!! I can’t shoot my new gun!! GRUMP!! But you just wait a month or so!!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
