    Thats Exactly Right. I used to work for Tru Green in Windsor Locks spraying lawns, One thing that tried to survive when we sprayed for weeds was the Dandelion, Out here they just die because of the Sun and Heat Cooks them LOL.

    It cooks everything LOL, A good established lawn does alright. A lot of place have gone to desert landscaping using gravel in the yard to cut back on water usage.

    Interesting.... very interesting.

    Never heard of it, but now you're sparked my curiosity.

    I might try it. At least on my front yard because my backyard is always green because it's wet underneath.

    Ordered drums and shoes from the dealer. Will let the mechanic deal with the hardware. About 380 or 400 for the drums and shoes- probably should have gone with the powerstop kit but seeing as I got 160k out of the oems, figured its a safe bet.

    @crashngiggles , I thought there were two versions of the reroute- under tcase and well behind tcase. Remind me, what was the preferred method? Sorry, I know we talked about this but it was a while ago.

    Good morning CT. Happy almost Friday.

    Did we skip Summer and go right to Fall. :mad:

    My fuse taps came in. I should've checked because I had one in my stash of electrical parts, which I had at @crashngiggles this past Saturday (mod day), and didn't know it.
