re: Dishwasher not drying dishes
Posted by Crusty on 5/16/25 at 7:53 am
Disclaimer...I have no idea if this is an actual fact or just dumb luck, but I have found that the more plastic dishes and storage containers we have in the dishwasher, the worse the drying function works. If we have nothing but glass and metal in there, they seem to get dry. If we clean out the fridge and load the top rack with all of the empty storage containers, we have to bring a towel when that dishwashing cycle is over.
Again...this could all be in my head. It just seems this way to me.

Pool owners hate them because they drop flowers and leaves all summer long that clog up your pool filters. If you don't have a pool...they're great!

Rent a party barge and float in with 10 of your closest friends. Just hope that that barge is still there when you're ready to leave.
re: What are some dos and donts of tailgating at an LSU game?
Posted by Crusty on 5/13/25 at 7:55 am
I don't think you can avoid this. If you find a "good spot"...guarantee someone else has been tailgating there for years. Since this is their "first", then maybe the natives would be OK with a small 10' x 10' tailgate getting squeezed in for 1 game wherever they set up? It's a roll of the dice, but there is no chance you are going to discover a good spot that is not already claimed by another group.
I would advise that you check knuckles first when you are confronted.

re: lithium deposit valued at $1.5 trillion has been discovered in the U.S.
Posted by Crusty on 5/12/25 at 10:35 pm
The traditional evaporation ponds in South America are not environmentally friendly. However, the Smackover brine field in SW Arkansas and East Texas will be "mined" using DLE technology...which is MUCH MUCH more environmentally friendly as you are returning everything you pump out of the brine, back to the reservoir minus the lithium. The footprint is relatively small.
Rock mining (spodumene) is still nasty for the environment.

Moving and setting up a pool table?
Posted by Crusty on 4/9/25 at 6:37 pm
In the Baton Rouge area, who can move and set up pool tables? I reached out to a company that I’ve used multiple times and they doubled their price from 4 months ago. Suggestions in the BTR area?

re: New House - What kind of sod?
Posted by Crusty on 2/24/25 at 9:35 am
Maybe I just got lucky with the right soil, sun, and water combination? I understand that Centipede is typically slow to recover from damage (learned that on this site), but even when I tore it up due to scalping (for the leveling) and the dethatching (which I learned AFTER the fact on this site you shouldn't dethatch Centipede), it bounced back rather quickly. Again, maybe mine was the exception to the rule, I don't know. I can only share my experience as I thought that yard was quite nice.

Wrong. I actually had a really nice Centipede lawn at my last house and received compliments from the neighbors regularly. I mixed some Black Cow manure with sand and leveled my yard with a leveling rake to where it was perfectly flat. I watered it only when it needed it and kept it cut (with sharp blades) and trimmed. it required very little in terms of maintenance and it remained full. Centipede catches a lot of shite on this site and I think most of it is unjustified.
Now, at my current house I have Bermuda. This will be my first growing season so I can't give an honest comparison yet.

Do you really need a formal living room and a family room? If not, absorb the dining room into your kitchen (it's a small dining room anyway) and then convert the Living Room into a formal dining room and the family can all hang out in your nice Family Room.

Congratulations. I think most of us who have been there understand completely. Wait until you have to pay for multiple kids in high school. Budget friendly preemergent is just the start.

re: Yard prep for spring after all the snow?
Posted by Crusty on 1/23/25 at 11:21 am
Oooph. I was afraid of that as my yard is too big for a push reel mower (at least one I can afford). I am hoping someone can offer some insight on a decent ZTR suitable for cutting Bermuda.

re: Yard prep for spring after all the snow?
Posted by Crusty on 1/23/25 at 7:33 am
So this is the big issue with Centipede? I have been wondering for years why Centipede is looked down upon so much as it's easy to grow, it's slow growing so you don't have to cut it every 3 days, requires very little maintenance/chemicals, and if you have a level yard and water it regularly...it can look really good. I just bought a house that backs up to a golf course so this will be my first run with Bermuda. Given the snow, maybe I got lucky this time? To be determined.
