Once it gets 3-4 inches tall you need to turn off the water and let it grow. Water if drought conditions plague the area. Otherwise let mother nature take care of the crop with regular rainfall.
This won't work with Asian lowland rice, but upland rice grown in the USA works this way.
MN - Rain, not all day, grass growing
TU - Rain, not all day, grass growing
WD - Rain, most of the day, grass growing
TH - TBD
Edit: TH - no rain yet (6:00 pm est) grass cut.

Rained enough at our house in BG today to keep my mower in the shed. Few more days of this and I will have to invest in a small round baler.
Mowed during a brief shower.
Was desparate, either that or bush hog and I was very fearful the tractor would sink to the axles.
^^You all might consider a goat or two.

I thought they outlawed the round bales? Something about the cattle not getting a square meal....Quote:

Yesterday was a glorious day in BG. Got the rest of my yard mowed and baled then just to make everything even, I mowed the other 2/3rds again.
Unbelievably quiet in my yard without the incessant noise of the grass growing.
Will be wishing for rain by week’s end.

50% chance her in BG tomorrow and Friday, then the remnants of the tropical something should hit by first of next week.
Something I noticed today was our top three threads fr most of the day were
1) Home defense shotgun question
2) Gun question
3) Truck batteries
...not judging, just say’n, merely an observation.

Odd why everyone wants to shoot their truck
It's the south. Can't go wrong in a group of guys bringing up guns or vehicles.
Next would be weight loss, TV and movies.

I fell down an internet rabbit hole this weekend and discovered a cool fact about Lexington: For those that like typing and/or touch-type there are very few keyboards better than the old IBM Model M "buckling spring" computer keyboards. What I didn't realize is that these keyboards were manufactured in Lexington, KY; first by IBM and then in the spun-off Lexmark. When IBM decided to switch to cheaper countries of manufacture, Lexmark discontinued production. A couple of Lexmark engineers purchased the entire keyboard production line (equipment, dies, etc.) and spun it off as its own company: Unicomp. To this day, Unicomp still manufactures these keyboards by hand in Lexington, KY using the same equipment and techniques as the original Model M's. They aren't exactly cheap (~$100) but aren't expensive by boutique keyboard standards and will pretty much last forever.
http://www.unicomp.com
I knew we made the old ones here. Didn't know about unicomp. I may check them out. It is one of the best keyboards ever made.
Googled and they're over on Henry Clay Blvd on the industrial/commercial end.
I've gotten so used to laptop chicklets I don't know if I could go back, but I sure cut my teeth on them and long term they are a fabulous keyboard b/c of the tactile and auditory feedback.
Getting a lot of Amy McGrath commercials on Pandora. Thinking about paying for Pandora Premium through Election Day just to avoid them.
About time for the ads to heat up good. Once again I think "none of the above" is the real favorite. In every race.
The good thing about recording stuff on TV and watching it later is you don't have to watch the stupid political ads. Except live TV (sports). Mike Bloomberg was really pissing me off advertising during basketball games before Covid happened.
I have Hulu Live but I'm going to replace it with Sling b/c they won't let me forward through commercials on the DVR of sports events. heck the whole point of it is to forward through commercials, esp. if I get in late and want to catch up to live action, etc.
For some reason I'm being hit by Biden ads on youtube. Was trump but not very many, now I geuss whatever I'm watching fits their demographic targeting. Like I said, if "none of the above" comes on I won't hit "Skip Ads" as fast.
^I'm getting McGrath ads, you're getting Biden ads. They definitely need to tweak their algorithms. :D
Ever have one of those days when you feel like it ought to be about 5 pm, and it's like, 11 pm, and you haven't accomplished that much?
Today.
Only days with a Y in it. lol.Quote:

Day 2...in a funk. My phone is "bleeding" and so I have to get it replaced or fixed, and it doesn't take much to get me off my game, apparently.
For the first day in the last five my abscessed tooth hasn’t gotten worse.
It all started innocently enough with a slight tooth ache last Wednesday. I called dentist immediately and he called in an antibiotic. Friday morning dentist called to see how it was going, at the time I thought it would be ok. Naturally over the weekend it worsened, luckily I had some left over pain meds laying around in the back of the medicine cabinet from a previous pain event. After a very long weekend with not much sleep, on Monday morning I started looking at train schedules to go stand on the tracks to stop the pain.
Since no trains were headed my way I called dentist and went in for examination. At that point he scheduled a root canal, same thing as getting hit by a train except the survival rate is higher. After procedure dentist wrote prescription for pain meds and a new antibiotic telling me there could be some swelling and “discomfort” for a few days.
Tuesday pain and swelling escalated, called dentist, he told me to double up on antibiotics and pain meds and ride it out.
Yesterday I woke up and looked like elephant man... and by “woke up” I mean after being up all night in severe pain I finally fell asleep (passed out)around 5:30 am and woke up still in severe pain about 8:00am. At this point the swelling had me looking like elephant man. I called dentist and he told me to come in at noon twenty, after examination he changed antibiotics to two different meds to be taken simultaneously and sent me on my way. On the way home I went under a railroad overpass with a train traveling across it. By the time it would have taken me to stop and scramble up the side of the overpass the train would have already passed, so I scrapped that idea. Plus I had hope with prescriptions for the new antibiotics.
By last night the pain had subsided enough to start skipping pain meds. Swelling is still there but pain is continuing to subside, and for the first time in five days I’ve stopped listening for the far off, distant sound of a train whistle.
...next on recovery agenda is detoxing from 7 days of eating pain meds like skittles at a Seahawks game....I have also attached a photo of the elephant man, just in case no one gets the elephant man reference in regards to swelling.

Dude, you need a new dentist. Seriously.
My dentist, that is also my mother's dentist, is good, but they were busy and she got an abscess from other work. It was killing her and she has a high pain tolerance. She also wasn't insistent enough. Same thing as you they just prescribed antibiotics rather than going in and getting the infection treated at the source.
I called and said "she's going to get in and you're going to treat this". It was bad but they drained it and applied antibiotics right at the infection.
My dentist is good, but I have had the need a couple of times to say to the scheduling staff "you aren't listening. This isn't a routine thing, we need to deal with this immediately and decisively." I start that nice, it gets worse thereafter.
