If you graft Scion from mature pecan trees onto your seedlings, it will skip adolescence and begin producing in 5-8 years. Pick a good one

You can just take the threaded front lens cover off and adjust parallax yourself on a Leopold
Until completely frozen..

while the mixture remains at 32°F until freezing is complete, the final solid ice can certainly get colder than 32°F

I just hope it keeps raining and stays wet

The rape stones were awful, and although the story arc probably required a way to communicate back to earth eventually, like in SG atlantis, it happened too early in the series and the associated story line was terrible

The underlying mystery of the aliens that resurrected the civilians left behind on a planet, the ongoing pursuit by hostile aliens, and the hodgepodge of characters themselves which were getting pretty well fluffed out kept me watching

it definitely had a different tone than all of its predecessors. But I was disappointed when it got canceled.

When was the last time the so-called scifi channel had a self-produced scifi show?

re: Avocados? Anyone growing?

I am a bit of a garden bug with quite a few fruit trees in my Baton Rouge orchard.

I have failed growing Haas, Lila, Joey, favorite, Mexicola, and 1 simply labeled "Hardy avocado".

I have tried planting with rootball high, painting with white latex paint, shading for the 1st year, and protecting over the winter. None survived 2 calendar years

if anyone finds a variety that does well here, please pass that info along

I've grown wonderful, sweet, and another I can't recall, here in br

The wonderful is still in the ground 15 years later. One of these days i'll yank it out

Fruit are rare, small, and mildew long before edible

I had only 1 question when I clicked on this thread, "what was the alteration?"

it did not say in the link or your post, only that 2 words in a Ted Cruz question were changed that changed the meaning.

anyone know what the change was?
especially after you add up all of the extra fees and shipping

shill-bidding is the norm. Few sellers are willing to allow you a true bargain
She was my least favorite part of an otherwise fun and immersive movie.

Very peculiar instead of the "cool" she was supposed to be, and just weird looking.
Longs peak, 14,249 ft

Trailhead at 9374 feet, 4,875 feet elevation change, 15 mi total hike there and back

Ballbuster, especially for a flatlander South Louisiana boy

Summited on my 5th and final try over about 35 year stretch, with weather the limiting factor

My buddies and I saw it a second time to count how many people he killed. I believe it was up into the 150s.

ETA; only 41 according to Google

Bigger is easier

The original short story, "Arena", on which that episode was based, was a better story with a more realistic and better ending

similar to star trek, humans and an alien species are at war. Knowing that if the war was allowed to continue, the victorious race would not have enough strength left to endure, an all-powerful entity plucks a single human and a single alien off the final battlefield, and puts them into a battle arena to fight to the death, with the loser's race to be eliminated entirely

In a battle of wits and strength, the human Wins, killing the alien and ensuring the continuance of the human race

in the star trek version, Kirk wins, but refuses to kill the alien, then lectures the all-powerful entity about compassion, and humans are allowed to live. I do not remember what happened to his opponent, but I am pretty sure they were not eliminated. It was cheesy
Just learned Sean "Samwise Gamgee" Astin is John "Gomez Adams" Astin's son

John Astin also had a great recurring character on Night Court

I see you've played knifesies-spoonsies before
I'd like to see a movie about Jean Lafitte, culminating in the Battle of New Orleans
The defender swatted his foot just as/before the ball arrived, meaningfully throwing off his position / balance. Probably still should have caught it, but it wasn't clean, and the underthrown ball was the underlying cause of that.
