TauntonBlizzard2013 Posted October 18, 2021 Share Posted October 18, 2021 Not great, but not bad. Considering this was all weeds and sand when I moved in, and I couldn’t afford to hire someone to do any of the work, I’m fairly pleased with it. I have a wicked clover problem. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice to see Lawn is close. If you’d use Lesco for one full season .. and with enough watering since that looks full sun and no shade .. you’d have top 3 in hood 1 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It worked out with all the rain this year, but when we return to Stein next season, it’ll need a ton of water. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I read clover can result from low nitrogen- just FYI, which if your lawn was sand not too long ago…maybe try a soil test first? Gunna do mine this year just to check.

Yeah just that after picture along with “no serious injuries” made my brain cramp up, lol. Glad no one was injured but you don’t picture everyone walking away from that. Crashing and burning like the Astros. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tamarack Posted October 19, 2021 Share Posted October 19, 2021 The airplane never gained much altitude and pilots did a "Sullenberger" ditch but on pavement before ending in a field. The landing probably didn't do much damage but likely the tarmac scratch started a fire, which spread sufficiently slowly that all exited safely, though one reported respiratory distress (smoke or effort not noted) and one with back pain. Bummer for the luggage, though - when airplanes burn they generally do so thoroughly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhineasC Posted October 19, 2021 Share Posted October 19, 2021 MD-80s and MD-90s are not my favorite planes to fly on. They creep me out for some reason. I am sure they are technically just as safe as any other plane. I try to avoid them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same basic plane, it's a continuation of the MD-80 lineage. You don't see them much anymore except on short regional business flights sometimes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powderfreak Posted October 19, 2021 Share Posted October 19, 2021 Took two regional Bombardier CR jets to get to Savannah, GA yesterday. At 6’3” I can’t sit in the window seat without leaning to the side due to my head hitting the ceiling, and my shoulders wouldn’t fit side to side in the aisle where the lavatories are, ha. My 5’2” 110 pound wife was like “I don’t see the problem, plenty of room.” Not sure I can picture the MD-80 or 90… 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My mom was 5’11” (though seems to be getting a little shorter with age) and Dad is 6’2”. When we get a family photo together our spouses all stand out, on the shorter side of things . My sisters are pretty close if not a shade taller than their husbands. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d prefer not to have it obviously, but it definitely blends in and looks better than other weeds.
