    Rule #5 — If you want to know how to do something right… ask a man who does that something everyday….

    ^smh…

    for the rest of ya’ll…

    it’s kinda curious that 30 miles inland is generally 3-5 degrees warmer than the coast in the spring — something to do with the ocean water temps…

    GO PACK!

    ^same in ILM, but not really much of a problem since nothing’s been planted since Thanksgiving…

    bought some seed and some transplants Saturday, but it’s supposed to get down around 40* tonight, so I’m gonna wait ONE more day…

    —————–

    Stick… your original pH was 5.3 and we put lime out when you did the bed prep for your turfgrass — one more bag of Dolomitic Line ain’t gonna hurt anything…

    That said, lime, or lack thereof, doesn’t have anything directly to do with dormancy….

    Typically, that’s primarily a function of soil temps — in yards and urban farming, you got a lot of variance in direct sunlight, wind, closeness to brick walls that absorb heat… all of which, will lead to some differences in how the grass comes out of dormancy…

    The same is true in reverse during the growing season as there’s some difference is how the grass grows in different spots…

    Remember, zoysia does not like shade…

    In the summer, morning sun ain’t the same as afternoon sun…
    And typically the hottest places in the summer are the coldest places in the winter…

    The fun part of all this is that the ‘hot and cold spots’ are constantly moving around the yard as the sun moves relative to the wobbly rotation of the earth…

    just ask SqlWolf…

    OK! So I went over to Brooks Field to check out our #2 ranked PACK-9 against the Seahawks this evening…

    PACK 8 – ‘hawks 3

    Damn boys… we got us a real baseball team…
    These kids do all the little things right… fundamentals are sound as a granite… plus some stellar defense…

    The big 6 run inning was baseball bingo with nothing bigger than a double…
    and If not for 2-3 bad pitches, we are looking at a shutout of of ‘good’ team…

    Sat beside Blake and Brock’s grandparents — that’s a Alamance County backstory, for sure — while waiting for Mater Man to show up…

    GO PACK 9

    Crazy Spring weather continues to defy the calendar…

    We had March in February, then February in March…
    now we’ve got March again in April….

    Ain’t planted the first thing yet… and won’t until end of next week…
    Still looking at 5 more nights under 50*…

    Down here that’s gonna create the potential for the “sandwich”…

    Last year we didn’t hit 90* consistently until the first of July, the year before it was five weeks earlier — the end of May…

    Either way — 6 to 9 weeks of “moderate” temps ain’t much time at all…

    Plant selection is gonna be tough. And it’s gonna require more irrigation that normal…

    Everywhere I go these days… I’m meeting Wolfpackers… I have yet to talk with anyone who is critical of the way Coach Doeren and staff have gone about building our football program.

    Monday morning quarterbacking of games, excluded, of course….
    But that’s gonna happen regardless of the outcome, even in Tuscaloosa…

    And since we had March in February and February in March and then March again in April…
    I ain’t planted anything on the Urban Farm….

    But you can’t harvest if you don’t plant, so it’s time to get busy…

    Gentlemen, it’s been an honor and a pleasure… from wire to wire….

    Halftime…

    Smoke IF you got ’em….

    Both teams playing intense…

    Michigan’s Robinson could be the difference… idk….

    Now Dickie DumbA$$ is Number #1 on everybody’s list of who they don’t want to listen to….
    But Rafferty, and his cheesy cliches, has got to be the undisputed #2…

    Jeez… How long before he starts telling 20 yr old Big Yeast stories…

    OK… forget the ALL the pregame hype…

    We got us a BALLGAME…

    At the Under 8 in the first half…

    Michigan 21
    Nova 18

    And they’re all playing like there’s only 4 minutes to play in the second half…

    yep… nerves….

    At the half in game two….
    No Rock Chalk Jayhawk…
    Nove 47 – 32

    Every year, there’s one team in Final Four that doesn’t show up… Kansas, with no D, will need the miracle of miracles to prove that wrong….

    I heard too much this week… ’bout how the Kansas-Dook game was the best game of the Tournament…
    I’m calling total BS on that unless you like No D – Fugly basketball by both teams, in which case, that game by those criteria was an instant classic…

    I guess everybody’s catching up on their work since things are a little slow — sports wise — this week…

    EXCEPT… Today is opening day for Major League Baseball..

    Troll’s CUBBIES start out right with a 8-4 win over the Marlins…
    and the BRAVES almost match that score over the Phillies — 8-5….

    For the rest of ya’ll… a good case of ‘Short Man’s Disease’ is always interesting to those over six foot, especially if, you knew the guy way back when….

    So here’s a good laugh with a 2018 Final Four connection…. doesn’t matter if you’re short or tall as long as you’re a Wolfpacker….

    I think High Point could be a great place for a 67 year old, highly successful, basketball Coach to finish his Coaching career, more or less, away from the stink of ShoeGate and other NCAA madness …

    Remember…
    Six Teams and 42 players from the State of North Carolina went to the Dance this season…

    Tubby shouldn’t have to travel too far to put an excellent group of kids on the court and win more than a few games..

    And then you’ve got that “Three hours to the beach / Three hours to the mountains” thing and no shortage of 1st quality golf courses to consider too…

    Plus… High Point, the city, is clean and decent these days… the stench of the sawdust and furniture lacquer has been long gone…

    And WHO’S reffing this game ??? They sure as F*ck ain’t ACC refs…

    And that’s the Ballgame and the ACC’s dance…

    Smoke if you got ’em….

    OK….

    DookSh#t > NCss

    as the Dookies take it hard twice in the final minutes with two bad calls….
    the block/charge on Carter… was ‘questionable’…

    BUT the reverse on the OTBs, after 3 minutes on the headphones, is enough to MAKE anybody scratch their heads… It gonna take more than a SixPack to make the Dookies forget that…

    The rest of us just get up and go to work in the morning….

    LOYOLA all the way from here on out…
    F the Blues…
    F the System….

    PornStar next on 60 minutes is gonna blow Donald out…
