ketchenany Posted August 13, 2018 Report Share Posted August 13, 2018 Sorry for your loss OI, remember the great times you had with her. My father hadn’t seen a frozen lake until the early 80s, we walked out at 9th line ORO I pointed to the huts and flags flying in the distance, snow machines going back and forth at high speeds . . He looked at me and said “ voi sieti shemi” meaning you guys are crazy. He did like the white fish. Crazy you are but the fish are good! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Ironmaker Posted August 13, 2018 Report Share Posted August 13, 2018 (edited) Thanks for your thoughts guys I appreciate it. She was the 1st to go to College in the family in 1949 to Buffalo State. That was a huge deal for a woman then. Worked for GM with the highest of security clearances after the war. To get back to the weed issue I talked to a pal today who's farm lane is 600 meters, no weeds. He scrapes down every spring and re spreads it. Donezo.

Works every time. A very boooring thread apart from Oi's contributions! ? Here's another 'Jehovah" alternative. When they come to the door your first response should be "I'm busy now, could you come back later?" To which they will inevitably ask "When is a good time?" You answer that question with another question "Do you believe in the afterlife?" To which they are sure to respond"Yes". So you say :"Come back then" ----works every time!!?

scuro2 Posted August 15, 2018 Report Share Posted August 15, 2018 I've been fighting crab grass for years, read this thread about a week ago and bought this. I may not be winning the war on weeds but I sure am having fun doing battle. It gives off a real hot flame...shoots out about 4 inches and when you turn it off it makes a very satisfying noise. Perfect for you closet pyros out there. https://www.homedepot.ca/en/home/p.lawn-and-garden-propane-torch.1001002719.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
