well, I finally got an update from the bank doing my mortgage refi (at a snails pace). Sent me the appraisal (done 8/26 I think) to review and sign off on reading. So I got that done. Hopefully that is the last thing before they finally approve it and look to schedule closing. I think the rate lock goes to 10/8 or 10/9, so might be tight with how backed up they are.
It's slow as our Realtor just advised us. Ours is moving along well. I just sent them a billion documents they asked for.
Our house goes on the market Saturday.
I am so tired. Since Friday night we have done the following:
Fill a 20 yard dumpster with furniture and other things we weren't bringing to the new house Touch up all the cinderblock walls in the basement Pack everything we are taking that's in the basement Thin down and pack extra stuff that was in our closets Take down all the personal pictures Painted the shutters outside Painted three doors and all the trim in our bedroom Planted mums and re-mulched the front planting bed Numerous other little things
We had the basement and all the windows cleaned today, and the crew is deep cleaning the whole place tomorrow. Pictures on Friday.
We escaped to the shore since we are both WFH and the kids are remote Thurs and Fri
What a week!
Nice looking house. Was worth the effort you put in. Should sell quick at that price. If you want to get rid of the beer signs too, let me know!
I like your kitchen style. That is the color combo we would go with next time.
Thank you!! The photographer is a genius, I can tell you that!
Within 15 minutes of the listing we already have two showings.
Good thing we are down the shore and my mom can just hop over to her sisters. I told her to come this weekend but she didn't want to.
Hard to believe we did that kitchen almost 11 years ago now. Thankfully it still looks modern (at least to me!) If the wife doesn't want the signs for the new home I'll PM you.
I'm looking for the pictures in question but am not seeing any?

On the horticultural topic, if anyone is watching the US Open from Winged Foot, TV occasionally shows shots of the lovely old clubhouse which has beautiful landscaping around it. You also see it in the background for shots off #10 tee. There are a few plants there with absolutely giant leaves, maybe 2'-3' in diameter. Looks like something from Jurassic Park or the jungle. Anyone have an idea of what they might be?
just put it on and have not seen the shot, but sounds like could be a Hosta?

No, I am not talking about politics or social/moral issues, I am talking about lawn turf. Two specific instances literally popped up recently that have me a bit baffled.
My new front lawn is looking very good 2-3 months after being done over with sods which I believe are mainly bluegrass. A few weeks after they went in I noticed a few different-looking sprouts popping up, most of them on the edges of walkways and the like. They looked like they could have been a different species of grass - clumps of blades that spread out horizontally but with a thick, somewhat tough center stem with a grasslike blade/seed head on top. Each of them spread enough over the walkway that they became unsightly so I pulled them out (quite easily) and they have not returned. I am unsure if they were some kind of rogue grass species or just a weed. Odd that they only came in on the edges which makes me think they were some sort of seed that was in the topsoil the crew put down. Just a curiosity.
On the strip between the sidewalk and the street I had spread some dirt back in the spring and spread some Scott's "Tough" grass seed mix, which I understand is mostly some sort of new hardy fescue variety. What came in first looked like no fescue I ever saw with a short, wide blade of very bright green grass that never grew more than 3" long or so. But more recently a new entrant has appeared. It is extremely fine, almost hair-like, very reddish in color, maybe 6"-8" tall, and will lie almost flat if you step on it or run a lawnmower wheel over it. Weird.
The first one sounds like Crabgrass. That ‘tough’ grass might be tall fescue which is used on sports fields but isn’t the most attractive. The fine grass almost sounds like fine fescue but that doesn’t have a red color.

Yep, like Mike explains, there are settings, and two different starting points for the settings - the "luxury" trim car, and the "sport". Due to everyone loving false pretenses these days, sport is probably 90+% of sales. Luxury trim on the E is going away for the 2021 model year, all "sport" now.
just watched Hoovies latest episode, when he bought a couple of late run land yachts, and spent a lot of time complaining that all makers are chasing some performance car ideal, and going away from traditional smooth luxury cars.

Apparently I moved to Memphis, TN. I received a letter from the department of employment security to verify my change of address to some place in Memphis.
I did contact them via their website and reported it as possible fraud and to inform them that I did not file a claim. I then got a credit report to make sure no one opened anything else in my name, so far there is nothing out there that isn't familiar. Just gotta monitor it for a while to make sure it stays that way.

Also got some apple cider donuts and a few other things that the boss, err I mean the wife wanted. Good weather for it but the place was getting somewhat busy as the day went on.
I took this picture while we were there.

Crabgrass grows where you live. In the spring it will look like you don't have any in your lawn, but the seeds are still there and will germinate a little later than the grass. It will grow along a strip of grass because the wind will blow seeds along until they get trapped by the grass.
It's tough to control. Pulling it out when you see it is the best way. Normally, when it is all through a lawn, that is an impossible job. A pre-emergent should be applied early in the spring.
Does it look like one of these?
The reddish grass I am not familiar with. The thin blades sounds like a fescue of some sort. There is a disease known as red thread disease that affects some grasses.
What grew first may have been an annual grass, like ryegrass, to establish the lawn (get you out of the mud) before the regular grass had time to germinate.

My dad who lived in Nashville, TN used to occasionally get mail for someone with the same name as his who lived in Nashville, IL.

Crabgrass germinates at about the same ground temperature as grass seed. The time crabgrass is germinating can be determined by when the dandelions _bloom_. That apparently occurs at the germination temperature.
I have used Halts, the Scotts product that is known from being mixed in with fertilizer, by itself in a small bag. It kills certain grass like seeds and looks like Preen. It's a yellow tiny particle material that I spread with a hand spreader and then throw all the clothes in the washer and take a shower.
Now it's called Weedex by Scotts. I verified the same chemical was in it a couple years ago when I shopped and there was no longer Halts by itself available.
This prevents any germination for 60-90 days of crabgrass, depending on rainfall amounts.
There are anticrabgrass compounds available that allow grass seed to germinate but block the crabgrass.

Thanks, @venture , it could have been crabgrass from those pics. It's odd because years ago when I first moved here I thought I had some in my backyard and went to a garden center looking for a treatment. They scoffed at me, saying we didn't have it here. And you could never buy that kind of chemical here even before the govt started banning them. Maybe climate change or something else is why it may be here now. Obviously it came from the sod farm or the topsoil source. Glad I got the little bit of it out.
just watched Hoovies latest episode, when he bought a couple of late run land yachts, and spent a lot of time complaining that all makers are chasing some performance car ideal, and going away from traditional smooth luxury cars.

The ground temperature, to apply Halts, seems to be best after the forsythia blooms, but before the lilacs bloom.

If crabgrass and Bermuda grass did not exist, there would be no grass here in Florida. Only those two grasses are hearty enough to survive here in South Florida's heat.

should not be long before a couple of offers are on the table. I assume you will be under contract by mid week. Which will certainly make the bank approving your mortgage happy.

I think crabgrass is like cockroaches. It can survive anything. Maybe even a nuclear blast.
Speaking of interstates and the ride, I made the drive from Indiana to an Amish store 30 miles or so back into Ohio on I70 last week. They had put an asphalt patch across 1 or both lanes about every 150 feet. They had repaired weak or bad spots in the pavement layers underneath.
So the car was constantly hitting those little waves. Continual impacts at 70 mph. I can see why drivers, travelling nearer Dayton where the interstate is past the section hopefully getting repaved, hence the patching or weak spots, are irritable and speeding at ridiculous speeds. That constant pounding on anything but cars able to absorb the impact and the sounds is wearing.
Imagine what it's like for the semi drivers with 30 miles of that.
My son's house they just purchased needs the yard well fed through the fall and winter. He also wants to over seed through the winter. But he will have to find a way to kill the weeds with a grass seed friendly chemical that controls the crabgrass in March AND doesn't kill the seed that germinates from the winter freezing and thawing.
There are crabgrass chemicals that Scotts offers in spring fertilizers for newly seeded lawns. But expensive.
So the BMW 2 Series Gran Coupe is underwhelming by most every measure; the Roundel crew finds it much less engaging than the 2er coupe. I hate AWD systems that are FWD most of the time and only send power to the rear when the AWD system thinks disaster is imminent. For me its RWD in anything bigger than a Civic or Golf. It doesn't help that what passes for "styling" is ungainly, but I'm sure it will attract more wearers to the marque. Joy- as if there weren't far too many already.
So anyway, in Europe a 1 Series hatch is available Still no styling triumph but at least it doesn't cause you to cringe like the 2 GC does. Anyway, BMW decided to build a proper hot hatch based on the FWD iteration of that platform- the 128ti. It's priced less than the 8th generation GTI, and I've checked out a couple of British mags that prefer it to the new Golf. A 6.2 0-60 is hardly exciting, but I'll bet it would make a fun daily commuter. It will neve see the light of day in the US, unfortunately- even though it would make a great entry level car that would likely attract enthusiasts rather than poseurs. Here's Top Gear's take.

I would love that 1 series hatch compared to a GTI (though I imagine in the US it would be a lot more expensive!) Seems like a nice package to me. Though of course, zero chance they offer it with a stick.
seems more like the spiritual successor to the 318Ti.
Saw a perfect car for my future, somewhere, sometime.
I wonder how it rides on the interstate?
A car like that isn't made for the interstate, it's made for back country roads that has plenty of hills and curves, downshifting into curves, punching it coming out of curves and the like. It needs the hairpin, the serpentine and the deviation curves. Interstates are boring, that's not a boring car.

my job back when we had our kids was to tell my wife what nicknames the mean kids would give to some of the name ideas she had. That shot down some of them quick!
ended up with pretty mainstream names, super easy to pronounce and spell (though one of them could be spelled with or without an H on it, but that's pretty minor!), Oh, also made them short so would fit on forms.

After 18 years I still get mail for Nate at my address and it's not junk mail. Tax documents enclosed stamped on envelope from another state, etc. I mark them all RTS and the mail man/person/thing picks it up and delivers same the next year after year.

I have used Halts, the Scotts product that is known from being mixed in with fertilizer, by itself in a small bag. It kills certain grass like seeds and looks like Preen. It's a yellow tiny particle material that I spread with a hand spreader and then throw all the clothes in the washer and take a shower.
Now it's called Weedex by Scotts. I verified the same chemical was in it a couple years ago when I shopped and there was no longer Halts by itself available.
This prevents any germination for 60-90 days of crabgrass, depending on rainfall amounts.
There are anticrabgrass compounds available that allow grass seed to germinate but block the crabgrass.

The ground temperature, to apply Halts, seems to be best after the forsythia blooms, but before the lilacs bloom.

Similar to the "turn my SUV into a rocket ship" craze.

I wonder how it rides on the interstate?
2014 Malibu 2LT, 2015 Cruze 2LT,
So the car was constantly hitting those little waves. Continual impacts at 70 mph. I can see why drivers, travelling nearer Dayton where the interstate is past the section hopefully getting repaved, hence the patching or weak spots, are irritable and speeding at ridiculous speeds. That constant pounding on anything but cars able to absorb the impact and the sounds is wearing.
Imagine what it's like for the semi drivers with 30 miles of that.

There are crabgrass chemicals that Scotts offers in spring fertilizers for newly seeded lawns. But expensive.

So anyway, in Europe a 1 Series hatch is available Still no styling triumph but at least it doesn't cause you to cringe like the 2 GC does. Anyway, BMW decided to build a proper hot hatch based on the FWD iteration of that platform- the 128ti. It's priced less than the 8th generation GTI, and I've checked out a couple of British mags that prefer it to the new Golf. A 6.2 0-60 is hardly exciting, but I'll bet it would make a fun daily commuter. It will neve see the light of day in the US, unfortunately- even though it would make a great entry level car that would likely attract enthusiasts rather than poseurs.
Here's Top Gear's take.

seems more like the spiritual successor to the 318Ti.

ended up with pretty mainstream names, super easy to pronounce and spell (though one of them could be spelled with or without an H on it, but that's pretty minor!), Oh, also made them short so would fit on forms.
