Been checking into some lawncare services. It's gotten away from me this year and I just want to get it looking good again. One place wants $95/treatment, which isn't all that much more than what I spend on the Scott's that I buy and put down, but they want $665 for fall aeration and overseeding. No freaking way I'm paying that. I can rent an aerator for $74 for 4 hours (more than enough time for me to do it) and I can overseed my self. I emailed them back and told them I'd like to call tomorrow and discuss options. I want to know if they can get rid of the stuff that the Scott's won't (creeping charlie, wild violets, etc.). And of course I want to know if it's pet-safe.

Screwdriver has been my go-to lately. I really like a Salty Dog, but unfortunately grapefruit juice interferes with one of my meds (I forget which one), so that's not an option. When I was in my 20's and working at a small restaurant with a mesquite and charcoal grill (HOT!) in Lafayette, I'd get the waitresses to bring me salty dogs from the bar while I was cooking. I was an assistant manager, so my job involved baking and other prep in the mornings, then working the grill through dinner, then finishing up in the dishroom (sending the dishwasher home after I closed the kitchen to save labor), then taking over the bar after the kitchen was closed.

Sounds like a fun job, sorta. Have to count the perks!

With me, the grapefruit interferes with the effectiveness of my statin cholesterol meds.

Doc told me it's a known issue, but just have your grapefruit in the mornings.
You're supposed to take your statin in the evening after you finish eating, anyway. It won't be a problem.

Kidding, I asked if I could get that in writing, since I was talking about a Salty Dog.
He said, "NO!"

Yeah, I'm not a morning drinker! It was a fun job. The owner of the restaurant was a contractor by trade, and knew nothing about the restaurant business. I was there to help him open up. I was in the cooler and saw a bunch of beef tenderloins, so I asked him if he wanted me to cut them up into filets. He said, "No, I got those for tenderloin sandwiches!" I educated him on what to buy for tenderloin sandwiches.

That shooting near me last night turned out to be a murder/suicide and the husband was a former IMPD reserve officer. Shot 2 girls and his wife, then himself. Wish these ****ers would change up the order and shoot themselves first.

I used Lawnpride when I lived down your way. Were they one of the expensive ones?

The most common chems are petcsafe after they dry... but that is pricey labor!

I need to get the stink off me from work. Going to bed early, today was to easy so tomorrow will be bad. Maybe Jill will have supper ready after I clean up.

 

[ancjr]

I need to decide what I want to do for supper....

TruGreen (formerly Chemlawn) was even worse. But they didn't quote the aeration and overseeding. 4 treatments (for the rest of the year I think) $821.

For some reason I still have NFL Network free.

I know it has to be some kind of promotion, since I have not carried any small hills of gold to the bank lately to pay for that subscription bill.

Anyway, one of the games I did not get on Sunday is re-airing in a bit.

Heading in to have a watch and maybe a beer.

Daughter is making Spanish rice and I have some baked beans left over. Some tortillas, a pepper and all is good!

Evenin' Brandon. Glad I'm upwind of you. I didn't know Whitecastle's chicken sandwiches had the same effect as their sliders!
