Show Yourselves, Part 4: Sucking up bandwidth with poor pictures of weird tattoos

Re: Show Yourselves, Part 4: Sucking up bandwidth with poor pictures of weird tattoos

You know, I can't think of a bar in Houghton/Hancock that offers crappy food.
I wasn't impressed by DT burgers, but the wings completely make up for it.

There are several that I never ate at, but the ones that I did get food from were generally good.
I got sick from a plate of Armando's lasagna my freshman year and never ordered food at the Dog/Armando's again. Heard similar bad experiences over the years too, including someone who was served chicken breast that was still raw in the middle.

Otherwise, I agree.
The only time I ate there was during the blueline club post game meet and greets. And the occasional pickled egg.

I'm lame and can't make this easier to see, but this is the backyard after 2 hours of power raking. If you use a magnifying glass you can see the 25 some piles in just that section of the yard.

btw - I had a beer shower afterward and hot or cold it's very overrated.

as I tried to ask the first time around... what the heck is in those piles :confused:

Dethatched grass clippings that inevitably didn't make their way into the bag, plus I think the previous owner never bagged rather than mulched every mow. They get matted down and make it hard for the live grass to grow, for water and fertilizer to reach the roots, and impossible to plant seed. The power-rake digs them up, and then I hand-raked them into piles before picking them up.

Getting around to a few things tonight

This would be from an Alzheimer's Charity Happy Hour... the hat was borrowed. Something about the idea that hats keep our brains from escaping or something :p

Taken on my iphone... and the hat is probably backwards.

It's called thatch. Aat of grass clippings that doesn't decay and can form a dense layer.

I thought the grass got too high before you mowed it and you had to rake it. (*raises hand* guilty)

I'm just used to the grass decomposing before it becomes a problem... must be a grass species thing or something.
