Gotcha

No seed is going to "take" now. Too late in season

Should mention that garage will sit on 4" crushed stone, so hopefully this will help

This is south side

Your garage has foundation or slab? We have neither. the garage arrives on a truck and is slid off into place. It's basically an oversized shed

Would cost a fortune for a retaining wall and probably something that should have been put in place before fill was brought in

There was no compacting done with a compacter other than driving the dozer over after a load of fill was dropped off and spread, so this probably qualifies as compacting to some extent. Garage will be 14x24'.

Getting a prefab garage on Friday. Had to bring in a lot of fill for the garage to build up the land to level. I'm a bit concerned about the back side and sides where heavy rain could cause significant washout. Not sure what could be done to prevent that. We will seed some grass around sides of garage in Spring, but don't think seed would take hold on the slope sections of fill

Shite, that's cold as hell for Oct

Or not. Anxiously waiting to see results from this study, which this far has been rejected by three high impact journals https://www.theblaze.com/op-ed/horowitz-danish-newspaper-reveals-largest-study-masks-rejected?xrs=RebelMouse_fb&ts=1603397121

Interested in renting out for a weekend? I skied saddleback back in 80-90s. Great place. Skied there twice since it changed hands. Wife and I looking forward to heading up this year, otherwise we usually go to Sunday River

How long have you had saddleback condo? Glad to see they're reopening even with covid restrictions.

Pics?

Pretty happy with how the newly seeded lawn project came out. Still a few thin spots which I'll fix in the Spring, but after a few failed attempts, I think and hope this grass seed holds up. Will be using the same one backside of house next year. Fingers crossed, but I'm pretty sure the prior failed attempts including hydroseed were junk seed.

Not a big Todd fan. Him and Lee get too cozy in the morning with their kid like banter. I think Keith has much better frcsts too.

So tired of the political ads. OMG, f' in endless since April. Seriously, almost every ad here is a political one, Gideon vs Collins. Mailbox stuffed with wasted paper ads. Make it stop!

I guess non med card holders get to buy oregano quality weed.

Stupid mistake on my part. Just received our new portable inverter 3750w generator (Wen) and determined it will not power our 230V well pump.Didn't check full specs and thought it would be work.

I just posted my concern on CMPs FB page. Apparently it's more widespread than I thought. What would be the typical reason? Overloads? I could see this in the Summer when people are running ACs and other high juice things, but this goes on all year long. I bought a UPS for the computer but I think that died as it didn't power the computer for the 15min outtage this morning.

I tried calling CMP this morning, but hung up after waiting 5min. Unless you talk to a tech guy I doubt cust svc would know.

Not really, although we just got our new portable genney delivered on Sat. Just need to get the power cord.

Power out again this morning for 15min. 4hrs on Sat. Over the last 2-3yrs, it randomly goes out for 2-3 sec at least once a month. Sat's 4hr outage was legit, but the other ones are annoying and hard on the equipment. CMP is the worst rated utility company in the country. While we've never had a billing issue with them, their reliability is becoming evident.

Great day for last boat ride

Power out.

One reason I asked is because we have a sizable chunk of money that we are going to invest in some ETFs. My wife lately has this bad feeling about the market and how we're going to lose a bunch of our current investments like 401k. Trump getting covid doesn't help. I look it at it as a buying opportunity. My wife thinks we should wait a little while longer (after the election) before pulling trigger on ETFs. I told her it's best not to try and time the market, but just get in now, especially with longer term investments.
