Thanks for the info. I have consistently ran across positive reviews for the greenworks. It is now a top contender for me

Dewalt Electric Pressure Washer

Posted by jlong4635 on 3/30/26 at 6:01 pm
I am looking at buying an electric Dewalt pressure washer. Does anyone have real world experience with them? I only intend to use it for small stuff such as washing the vehicles and cleaning up around my garage.

The reviews I find online are kind of a mixed bag. Any real world feedback would be appreciated

Thanks to all for the feedback so far. Hopefully I can get the project done before it gets too hot

Is the general consensus to use a reel mower, or do some of you get by with a conventional mower?

I only plan to put zoysia in front yard and it is very small, so I dont have an issue investing in a good reel mower if needed

One the pup passes I plan to put turf in the back yard

Zoysia

I'd like to hear from the TD lawn experts in regards to Zoysia. My existing yard is a mix of weeds and some St Augustine. I have not had good luck getting the St Aug to thrive. The soil is essentially all sand.

I plan to round up the existing grass/weeds and pull out a few inches of the sandy soil and replace it with some better dirt.

I would like to go back with Zoysia. What's the general feedback from those who have transitioned to it? I have read that it will need to be de-thatched every couple years. Any truth to that?

Located in St. Bernard Parish.
Unless you're fundraising surpasses 10,000, dont even think about making your way on to that stage.

It is an awesome event that I truly strive to support, but it is all about fundraising. I championed a team for a few years and enjoyed the heck out of it, but you gotta have deep pockets to get onto the stage.

Thanks to all for the advice. I an working on tracking some of the flight prices as advised
I was young when I went to the bombing memorial but I remember it being very nice and worth the visit

Thanks for the advice. I will look into tracking the prices using Google.

I am looking at either late April/May or late October

European Flights

Posted by jlong4635 on 2/1/26 at 6:03 pm
Im curious what advice the TD has for finding reasonably priced European Flights. I have never had good luck booking flights through 3rd parties, so I prefer to book directly with the airline.

I am looking at prices of flights to either Italy or Paris for vacation later this year and the prices surprised me. My preferred airline is United, but not opposed to branching out.

Just at a glance round trip economy plus flight with United is $2,500/person.

Any advice would be appreciated. I have never traveled outside of the United States

KUIU Chugach is hard to beat. Not cheap, but definitely high quality stuff
I have a furnace top that I almost always default to

I have a few friends out west in Wyoming that live and die by anything Stone Glacier. I personally only own a frame pack, nothing else from SG. I have learned to trust the folks who live and hunt out west, the gear up there experiences different level of abuse

Darn Tough or Smartwool. Both are expensive, but Made in USA and reputable customer service departments

I was a long time skeptic due to the price, but now those 2 brands are the only socks I own.

re: What to do in San Antonio

Sanchos has the best street tacos in San Antonio that I found so far. Kind of off the beaten path, but definitely worth it.
I also recommend PMC in Hammond, although I have never bought band saw blades there either

If you are willing to drive to the NOLA area, Southern Saw and Cutter in Harahan will definitely have what you need. I know for a fact that they will cut/weld any length blade. I use them exclusively for saw blade sharpening, with no complaints. They don't have a huge show room like PMC, but they a good people that know what they are doing.
