    do you think this video is real.

    Agreed, that drives me crazy when people shoot phone videos like that. Nobody watches TV or movies in portrait leaving 2/3 of the screen unused. Turn your phone sideways people!

    Do you usually sharpen or buy new blades?

    I might get by sharpening my blades once before they are too far gone. And I have to change them at least once before summer is over. Here in Florida we have a long growing season and the sandy soil sand blasts the blades and destroys them. When they wear they don't wear evenly and the edge...

    Poor quality work when brake work done; Nasty surprise last night

    Yep. I have used a local body shop for the past 30 years. They had an excellent reputation and always did quality work for me. The last time I used them I found out after I had the car towed there that they were bought out by a corporate chain without changing the name on the door. What they...

    Florida Real Estate Advice

    I could not get windstorm coverage on my 2006 built home in Northwest Florida (Pensacola area), 20 miles from the coast sitting in the middle of a former farm field with no trees anywhere near. Some insurers would only insure homes LESS THAN ONE YEAR OLD! Others wouldn't insure unless I tore...

    Coffee - Your Current Brew

    Pablo's Pride from Sam's Club. Surprisingly good for a not very expensive coffee. I grind the beans each morning and brew in a French press. https://www.samsclub.com/p/pablo-s-pride-gourmet-coffee-whole-bean-guatemala-2-lb/prod1420227

    College Baseball

    True. And I've seen some of those small schools beat up my FSU boys many times. If a small school has a top notch pitcher they can beat anybody when that pitcher in on his game. That is what makes college ball so much fun. My home town university, The University of West Florida, is a D2 school...

    College Baseball

    Yes indeed. I have had season baseball tickets at Florida State since 1983 and attended games since 1980. I have seen some great baseball over the past 45 years. The talent level is obviously below the MLB level but the enthusiasm level of the players can be off the charts. Plus if watching...

    Buttermilk: yay or nay?

    Love buttermilk but it hard to find good buttermilk like I grew up on. Most store bought buttermilk is too thin and doesn't have flakes of butter floating in it. Of course my grandmother used to churn her own butter and use the leftover milk for buttermilk. I drink it and use it in pancake...

    Any Other Merle Haggard Fans?

    Saw him once in concert. Favorite song: "Holding Things Together." I saw Vince Gill sing that with The Time Jumpers at 3rd and Lindsley in Nashville and thought I'd died and gone to heaven.

    Funny things the wife does.

    Just the opposite in my house. My wife to this day (she is over 70) doesn't know how to load a dishwasher, I have to go behind her and straighten things out (for example, dishes turned with the dirty side facing the wall of the dishwasher.) I long ago gave up trying to tell her the right way...

    Lawn fertilizer question

    Wrong. Although the most important part of a soil test for a lawn is the test for soil acidity and the need for lime. Ask any landscape professional and the first thing they will do is a soil test. I have a friend who has a degree in turf management from the University of Florida who will...

    Should i take a federal job out of state?

    Also consider cost of living. Ohio has a state income tax, I don't now about how high property and sales taxes are. $68K for someone with your educational background seems low to me. Federal pay is usually lower than the open market but if you make a career out of it and stay until retirement...
