    Always like this chick and this cover is great.
  2. Tickets are sold. Thanks Surly.
  3. Still available - hard tickets (not electronic) Cant meet around Austin. PM your best offers.
  4. Buyer backed out. Up or sale.
  5. Oddly enough I did an early AM liquid fert treatment Saturday and put down a bag of Milo Sunday before watering it all in and the lawn has exploded. Its amazing to think that all the nitro I put down between late April - June wasn't enough to keep it going through the summer. Still adjusting to Bermuda and how nitrogen hungry it is.
  6. Usually organics can go down whenever. Not going to harm anything so long as you don't choke the area out with the topdressing.
  7. Got two tickets Sec 116 / Row 17 (up top endzone) Stubhub's cheapest price right now is 355 per ticket. I'll take 600 for both. PM me.
  8. Organic fert would help push growth. Wetting agent can help retain water in areas with localized dry spot. Its possible it's neither of those things are you have some insects / fungus. Have any pics? Also - fwiw - my yard was beast mode until I got back from a fishing trip in late June. Came home to a disaster I haven't been able to identify or fix, but I think it's really just progressive drought stress. There's no way I can justify the amount of water needed to keep the lawn tip top.
  9. Mine is fucked. Been giving each zone 15-20 min every morning and its still dry when I get home 8 hours later.
  10. I completed mine two summers ago. Drove out west to fish sections of the Rio Grande Then to New Mexico to fly fish for a few days around Taos. Up to Colorado to fish the Arkansas and catch some lake trout in a few state parks Over to Utah to fish a high desert lake (Steinaker) and the Green River. Over to Grand Teton to fish Jackson Lake over to Yellowstone to fly fish for 3 days Drove the Beartooth Hwy out of Yellowstone to Montana. Fly fished there for 3 days. Down to South Dakota in the Black Hills. Fished streams and creeks around there. Lots of species were caught and all techniques were implored. Kind of wished I got some time in the salt but I'm planning another one going up the Texas coast line over to Florida in the next few years.
  11. Also - if you want me to drop some pins on a map of the places we hit, let me know.
  12. See my post above. - Anchor up at the mouth of El Toro or wade fish it and fish that in the morning. Drift fish 9 Mile Hole and Rocky Slough in the mid to late afternoon. Fish the lights at your dock if you want to catch a fish every cast. (assuming you're not there on a weekend when you have 10 people with their lights on) - Down South Lures "Bone Diamond" in the afternoon "Red Shad" in the morning if you're throwing soft plastics (under a 1/8 jighead) Gulp under a cork worked okay when the bite was slow but make sure you get the full size ones (not the smaller 3") - If you're going to buy bait beforehand, pin perch and croaker did not produce very well. Live shrimp tore em up though. We also kept a few skippies to make cut bait with but the reds were nowhere to be found in any of the places we were. I dont think they are really back there as much in the mid to late summer (more fall / winter timeframe) - There are a lot of spots to wade off the main channel but they get crowded on weekends and we found that moving around and going where we knew the fish were and the pressure was lower was better than getting the occasional bite being asshole to elbow with everyone else at the hotspots.
  13. He'll get a 2 year exemption and invites to the 2020 Masters, PGA and Players Championship. Also - 1.152 mil in his 3rd professional start. The Open Championship qualification looks at Major finishes, Euro and Fedex Cup money standings, WGR etc.
  14. Nice fish. Looks like he made a helluva taco.
  15. I thought I'd be smart and play Clay in the past month or so since Kizer's greens went to shit. Now Clay's greens are in the same state. Not sure what the fuck they're doing out there, but I've played 3-4 different courses in the past month that all had fantastic looking putting surfaces. Looks like take-all root rot or something and that's unfortunate because I don't think any combination of fungicides will fix it. If you pair their greens on both courses with the divot minefield they call a driving range - there's literally no reason to even go to Clay/Kizer anymore. That range gets completely obliterated within a few hours of them moving the ropes.
  16. A friend of mine's cousin has a share of a cabin. Probably a 40 min boat ride south from Bird Island Basin launch. Really bad ass experience. The amount of fish you can catch in a day down there is just crazy. We anchored down around the mouth at El Toro Friday morning and proceeded to catch about 50 fish in an hour. Not all keepers of course, but still. That trip was a fucking workout.
  17. Spent the last 4 days down at the land cut. We were on the boat by 2:30pm Thursday and didn't really stop fishing until Saturday night. Almost made a Sunday morning trip to make up for the slow Saturday. Hundreds of fish caught each day but keepers were minimal. Down South Lures Bone Diamond (afternoon and under the lights) and Red Shad (morning) were the winners. Didn't catch many fish on croaker or perch.
  18. Good rains down in Hays county and recent organic fert + micronutrients and iron has the bermuda looking badass. I'm doing all liquid applications throughout summer from now on. I'm currently using a mix of liquid humic acid, soluble potash, sea kelp, organic nitrogen, and chelated iron. 1" height of cut.
  19. From my experience with pieces of live/scrub oaks being left in my yard before it was graded with topsoil and sodded - those spots will problem areas for short roots and localized dry spots for years to come. I've had to actually surgically remove pieces of oak that were cut down to the stump and left there because those spots would dry up within days of not getting watered.
  20. Fast forward to two weeks of curative application of propiconazole / azoxystrobin for red thread/rust/brown patch and what looked like gray leaf spot in the back yard. I treated two weeks ago and then again this past weekend. Also - dethatched the bad areas not realizing just how bad the thatch was contributing to the fungal issues. This is a few days ago at dusk. Had to increase the lighting of the image a bit because it was almost dark out. Approx 1" height of cut Tifway 419
  21. Not trying to tell you what's right or wrong - but MSM isn't approved for residential turf. (something about organic arsenic becoming inorganic arsenic) It is a straight up fucking killer of dallisgrass / crab etc. I believe it's not even approved for golf courses anymore. Only roadsides and select places where runoff is controlled. Also - when apply any herbicide - surfactant will help it adhere/strip away the waxy exterior of the weed you're trying to kill. I always use it in any herbicide app whether spot treating or blanket apps.
  22. There should be a way you can set the bed knife/blade contact and then do a paper cut test while turning the reel with your hand. I think the bedknife to reel contact is actually more important than the blades being sharp. If it's a cheaper model of reel mower (California Trimmer, Tru Cut, etc) they all use lower quality steel that is softer than you'd find on a higher end greens mower. Okay for residential use but kind of a pain in the ass to adjust/maintain.
  23. Rain and these moderate temp / high humidity situations are wreaking havoc on my 18 mo bermuda lawn. I've had rust/red thread and leaf spot now in the backyard. Been running through the rotation of fungicide apps for the past month and still have traces around front and lots in back. Luckily - fungicide is cheaper than watering this motherfucker so there's that. Post fungi spray and edging this past weekend - height of cut at 1.5" You can see the darker areas where the fungi started spreading and I had to put the smack down.
