Good morning!!!!

[sodamo]

A bit late this AM, went to town early and just back
Almost 1030 , 72F and .43 inches rain since midnight.
Hoping it clears so I can get my outside stuff done.

Be safe
Have a great day

Plants are tougher than they look.

I had a fern that pushed through my asphalt drive several times, and it was growing on solid rock. I would cut off, pull what I could and beat the pavement pucker back down with a 2lb hammer. I couldn't believe the tenacity of the thing.

... centipede grass busting through two inches of pavement.
They must not have cleaned out the underlayment well enough
At least a dozen of these things, very discouraging, but at least they are all in one thirty foot section.
Nothing like a big patch on a new driveway. Probably ought to spray the earth with weedkiller too.
really amazing that this "grass" will punch through two inches of macadam.

Drew,

We've had ferns punch up thru 6" of asphalt here in the past ...

And yes, it is amazing ...

Got my new Marathon water heater today, used my forks to take it off the truck! ( yay! ) I will install it this weekend, hopefully get a bunch of little things done around here, it's supposed to warm up into the 40's, 50 by sunday. It was 10F when I started the bota up, no problems at all. Haven't decided on dinner yet, wife wants to pick something up, so she chooses. Not gonna argue that one....

Have a good one!

Warmed up to 39, so changed my oil. I think that's everything that needs it, except my son's car...will get that done whenever he slows down enough that I can grab his oil plug.

Heading to 19 tonight, just right for a walk to my tree stand in the pre-dawn hours .

We have a 50 gal. Rheem Marathon electric water heater. The insulation jacket seems to work very well. The outside surface is room temperature.

Pretty but cold day here, I feel so badly for the folks buried in the snow, God bless them.

That's the same one I bought. My old one is about 15, and looking sad. I am not going to wait until it ruptures. I researched this, and altho it seems spendy, I think it is a good choice.
